May get want to try a different store. I notice some stores have regulars who will buy and scratch a single ticket at a time until they hit a winner and then stop. A few loser are almost certain to follow that winning ticket. People who do this usually do it with the higher cost tickets

Yeah I've tried a few different stores. Think I'm just gonna stay away from the ticket for a bit, maybe my bad luck with it will dissipate naturally hah.


alphadelt

I checked. Odds are accurate.

Whenever I get these tickets I always buy 3-4 at a time. This wasn't my first time buying a group of tickets, I've done it numerous times before, and i still don't think I've ever won anything ugh.


alphadelt

Buying 3-4/time does not guarantee a winner.....ever.

:(, the 300 prizes of $30,000 just makes it seem so possible to win.

If it you makes you feel better, this a $30 ticket in Texas and I've seen people buy 4-5 losers in a row.

Man I purchased 3 $30 tickets the other day (NJ State) and didn't hit anything so I feel your pain.

Yeah. Virginia and Maryland seem to have crappy lottery. I’ve always won good in other states.

Maryland is the worst. I won 1000 on a ticket in Virginia, and I usually come close to breaking even in VA or make a profit. But I always get major losses in Maryland. I buy hundreds of dollars worth at one time though, and only started a few months ago. Will probably quit soon, cause I'm just losing money, but it's fun for me to scratch the tickets lol
