I am a fan of the Texas Lottery scratch offs and wonder how many of yall are too? What scratch offs do you buy, whats the most you have one?

am-a-pleaser · 05-11-2010, 09:09 PM

I usually stop and buy some on a road trip, some for stocking stuffers at Christmas. Most I ever won is $10.00. I'd rather gamble in Vegas. I'll have bring you some scratch-offs.

Tara I love the scratch offs too! Most I have won is $500. I buy 5.00 one's when they put out new one's they hit pretty good, if I win I play again next day and always pocket anything over what I spent. I win often lil here lil there pretty lucky I guess .

I like Weekly Grand...I've won $300 several times. Yesterday I won $40. I took it back to the convenience store and won another $20. When I bring it back today let's hope the good luck continues!!!
I could have alot of fun with an extra thousand per week!
Cheers!

Weekly Grand. I don't play them often but when I do, it's this one. Something nice about winning $1k per week for 20 years. I could go on quite a 20 year hobby run with that.

I dream of winning a session with Tara from a scratch off ticket.

RichYoungbuck4u · 05-12-2010, 02:44 PM

I'll buy one every now and then. I don't have a particular ticket to buy however. I actually go to the Texas lottery website which is updated daily. You can look up the scratch off tickets and how many winning tickets have been sold. So... I'm not going to buy a ticket where all or most of the top prizes have already been won. You also see all the tickets from games that are in a closing status when all of the top prizes have been won... doesn't mean they have to stop selling the tickets though. So in a way... I play the odds. My favorite ticket to buy is the weekly grand though.

I have won $2,500 on a scratch off ticket before. Most of the time though I hit the break even prizes.

Research my friends... we do it on here... so why not all aspects of our purchases when it comes to chance.

Right now, the jackpot prize in the regular Texas lottery is so high, it's theoretically a good investment. Odds of winning are 26 million to 1. Cash option prize is $57 million. After taxes, you end up with $37 million.

So go out and buy the Texas Lottery. Of course, I want a 5% finder's fee for giving you this great tip if you win.

I've played scratch-off's for probably 20 years and can't remember ever winning more than $150. Nothing in particular, but I probably play the Harley Davidson tickets more than anything else.

I don't play often but when I do, I like the Weekly Grand game. Winning that grand prize would set up my hobby fund very nicely!

Just be sure to go to the Texas Lotto website to check how many of the prizes to a particular game have already been claimed as you don't want to by a ticket to a game in which all the grand prizes have already been claimed.

The new Weekly Grand game card is colored blue and has all the grand prizes still out there available. The old Weekly Grand game card is purple and 3 of the 4 grand prizes have already been claimed.

You know, I actually like the $250,000 Bingo game right now. I play at least the $10 games because you have a chance of winning more. Of course, the inverse of that is true as well. I went and bought my first one of that game and won $100. I also like that it's actually a game you play, but it does take awhile to scratch off.

Just make sure you check on the TX Lottery's website though and make sure there are still some top prizes to be had.
