I lived in Ohio and they sold all kind of scratch off tickets, I knew of several people who did and got alot of $5, less $10 , several prpbably 10 $20's one $50, I remember they were out more than they won, all of them, they never got a $500 or a $100, so like anything lottery people know what they are doing ,they are there to make money off you .

You can read the winners with x-ray machines. All the big winners are pulled out. Don't waste your money.

Re: Scratch off lottery tickets !!! Anyone ever buy a whole ROLL
I would say don't go for it!! what would u need money these days? when everyone is telling u to become spiritual...

numbers are everywhere... don't pay for some that won;t bring u anything...

look at the clock, look at the time instead! u will get more out of it!

it is a guy one day he won 1,000,000 bought a house... then the house got water all over the place and meant no value at all!! if u believe u will be happy with money then start ask yourself question!

just replace the numbers by happiness and see if u play for it....

I played the pick three with the same 3 numbers in any order everyday for about a year and broke even. Never won more than $20 on a scratch.

If you are going to buy a roll of lottery tickets why not try this website: www . txscratchoffs . com.


I put a like to this website in my cellphone an check it before I buy a single lottery ticket.

This website compiles all the data about the Texas Lottery Scratch Off games and ranks them. It even gives you the number of prizes left for each game in the Texas Lottery Scratch off games.

Are you purchasing the wrong games?

Try the above site and buy tickets where more of the top prizes are remaining or if you are looking to breakeven buy games with a low odds number. where 1:X.XX or 1 in XXX where XXX is the small number.

Re: Scratch off lottery tickets !!! Anyone ever buy a whole ROLL
Yes, you CAN, in fact, win BIG. My ex boss has won BIG three times. He just kept investing more and more money into playing after winning the first time, thus making himself richer and richer. A quite simple but effective method really. I wouldn't say that playing the lottery is a complete waste of money. Try telling that to someone that has profited from it.

..and for all the people whose lives were "ruined" because they became financially suited for life..they are/were obviously dumbasses who never deserved it or knew how to manage their dreams correctly to begin with. If I ever won big I'd use it to help fund my goal in life. Money, like firearms, are only as evil and corrupt of the beholder.

I say PLAY THE LOTTERY. Anyone that plays the lottery are broke anyway.. People say "save" your money and not play the lottery. There is no "saving" money when you don't make enough as it is. Fuck it, gamble a little. You never know. What have you got to lose anyway..?

Absolutely nothing.

Re: Scratch off lottery tickets !!! Anyone ever buy a whole ROLL
I have for the set for life California tickets. Every roll is worth 400 dollars . I bought total of 5 rolls just for the hell of it and loose 200 hundred dollars per roll so don't do it. Just think so Many retail stores why are you so special that you actually gonna hit the jackpot just buy one ticket and hope for the best. Don't be like me foolish and thinking that I had s better chance just because I bought way more . Oh and I'm rich and got disposable income so haha just kidding

Re: Scratch off lottery tickets !!! Anyone ever buy a whole ROLL
i let you in on a secret that might improve your odds!

i used to sell them in my business for over 10 years and sold a lot of them. my store was way up there in the lotto sale. people used to come in and buy them like crazy some even by the rolls. during all the 10 years we had maybe 5-8 big prizes, 10K and up and few 1k-5K.

most rolls were dud. in every book or roll there is one big prize but not big enough to cover your losses. buying the whole roll will return 30% to 50% at most 90% of the times.

here is the big secret, most people when they hit on a ticket they run back to the same store and cash in their winning or scratch the ticket right there moan about how they always loose, knowing what roll has had hit or not one could tell which roll is sweet for picking and i was very good at it, i could have predicted within + - 10 ticket where the big hit is due. get to know your store clerk and improve your odds or yet better save your money and put it to a better use.

good luck

Re: Scratch off lottery tickets !!! Anyone ever buy a whole ROLL
I seen a ticket last week ($20) ticket where he won 50k. it was the first one on the roll numbered 000. It was really cool seeing that.

This is something I always wanted to do and I think I am going to do it.

Clerks will often watch the rolls and when the roll is about to run out and there has been very few winners they will buy the last of the roll and collect *your* would-be winnings.

No offense OP but if strategically trying to beat scratch offs is your plan to make $$ then you could use a new plan.

And seriously people who say if you buy a whole role you are likely to break even... give me break you really can't think that is true do you?

I like the idea of buying a ticket here or there for entertainment value so if this is what you are doing then all the best and good luck. koolaid

Re: Scratch off lottery tickets !!! Anyone ever buy a whole ROLL
Anyone ever buy a whole roll of these? If so did you break even, lose money or gain money?

I was thinking of trying it with a brand that has a lot of winners left in it.

Was wondering your opinions and if anyone has ever tried it!

Thanks@!@
 Quoting: Dr.Green Thumb


what is done and works IS take a look at all the rolls and only buy 3 scratch off tickets from either the ones that are basically just started as in "new" or 3 from a roll that is nearing the end.

don't blow your money on the shytes but as your own economy allows
try it.

Obviously the state is trying make money not lose it. Theyre not going to pay out more than their profit unless there is a big winner in the role.

Re: Scratch off lottery tickets !!! Anyone ever buy a whole ROLL
Just save your money, bro. Scratch-off tickets are a scam. Sure, you might get lucky and hit a RARE $500+ winner, but the odds are extremely against that happening.

Oh, and you won't win shit by playing dollar tickets. The real payouts are on the $5 and $10 tickets...
