They be saying overall odds 1:3.42 even though you know the actual odds for that top prize of $400,000 is like 1 in 2,400,000. You still think that scratch off you have is the top prize everytime. Reminds me of that time I bought the premium ticket that costs $25 and I won like $75 so I immediately bought 3 more $25 tickets and won nothing. 😔

And have had several scratch offs that have been the grand prize one number off of my numbers. So annoying.

January 9, 20233 yr I did win $1000 on a $2 ticket last May. Only time I've ever won more than $20. I had to read and re-read that ticket so many times before I was convinced I was seeing what I thought I was seeing.

Congrats on that win!

Odds to win that were 1:114,000 lol I didn't know until I looked it up. I did personally know a waitress at Village Inn that won the jackpot on a $20 scratcher that was $200,000 a year for life (life was defined as 20 years in this case apparently). She didn't even quit right away. She worked her two weeks after putting her notice in ha. Although if I won a jackpot like that I'd probably wait until the money hit my account too just to make sure it's real.

They shouldn't be allowed to call it "for life" And yeah same here, I wouldn't quit til that first deposit hit.

Maybe they ran some studies and it turned out the vast majority of scratch off or lotto ticket buyers were older. Or they're saying "look if we give you $200,000 a year for 20 years, you better be able to look after yourself after that." Lol

Lol When you win one of those jackpots, the state actually lets you designate up to 2 beneficiaries should you die. I did find that interesting if you're one of the people that (idiotically) take the annual payments instead so the state doesn't just keep any funds that go unpaid should something happen to you - i guess that would only happen if you and both beneficiaries all die together like a car wreck or something.
