He also bought a $25 millionaire and got $100 but that was only him
And when we went to cash it i picked up another and got the train symbol but it only had $10 under it for a break even win
I have a question that maybe james1 can answer or anyone else that knows about the rolls of tickets in FL
I got the ticket above and it was ticket #001 and won $500, now there are 48 tickets left on the roll and i am wondering should i stay away from that roll or do you think it may be a hot roll and have another big prize in it?
Should i maybe wait till its in the mmiddle of the roll and try it or what?
Also the store sold a $1000 winner on the same game last week but that was a whole nother roll. It was around ticket #009 (or lower) but they sold the rest of that roll within a week

I would pass. I think what you could expect are some $100s or $200s but another $500 or more is highly unlikely, but we have seen that it can happen. maybe if you know the results of the next 10 tickets you could make your decision. I dont really like that monopoly ticket though, trust me i have played lots of them and never won $500 on it

I wonder why some states have an extra letter printed on the ticket to indicate that it is a winner. Like the letter F from the above ticket. In CA, we never have that.

In Florida, we have 3 letter codes. So, it's not really an extra letter. FHN is the code for a $500 winner.

Well, like you say, there are still 48 more tickets--unless some have already been sold--- but on this one, I say you should pass. From your original post, you and your boss split that win because you went in on a few tickets together. Therefore, you profited at most $240 on that ticket. Let's say you buy the rest of the roll-- you still have to dish out $960. It MAY have been worth the shot if you had bought and won that $500 on your own. But since you split the 5 hundo, you're a bit more behind the 8 ball for the rest of the book. It's tempting, because what if it's a hot roll, but my experience the last 3 entire rolls I've bought (1 BDB, 1 GRT, and 1 FF) has been that I've lost...big time.... I want to think there are reallly good books out there, but I haven't found them. It's your call. Good Luck whatever you decide to do!
Lately I've been losing a lot, got a Flamingo Fortune today and it hit $50 bucks. Got a BDB and lost, got a Monopoly and lost. With the remaining $10, I got a 50X The Cash...lost. Cool.
Can't win if you don't play, but I sure am playing a lot, and I'm still not winning. Somebody send me some good vibes, please!

Any 000 ticket I tried today came up bust....the 7 ticket - Mothers Day - Millionaire's -
and the crummy $....all these tickets I snagged #000 on..maybe I should play it in p3
or p4, it sure didn't do me any good on instants.
One of best I could find today was a $40 stack of cash match on the $100,000
$5 SuperCash #017 I believe...far cry from $100,000
The rest were either $0 or ticket cost.

I agree. Meant to say the $500 was 003. Thats the problem with the $20's. You almost have to go one or two(win or loss) or hope to find a $200 win or you are out big bucks really fast.. He told me someone lost alot on the machine pack. I got 000 this morning on that one and it was on 017. Tried 3 of them, and then the last 3 from a Hot Millions and another 029 Hot Millions. Will save them for later though.

The lone 029 Hot Millions hit $100. The 027-029 pack had $20 on 027. 17/18/19 of Platinum lost. The funny thing is the guy who hit the $500/$200 was back in there throwing a ton of money back into the machines. Thanksfully he was playing the PM from machine and losing, cause I was tempted to play them since it was on 017 with minimal winnings earlier. Took my $120 and ran.

Since I had that "odd" $20(I like having even denominations like $50 or $100). Decided for another Platinum Millions when I stopped at the store. First # I uncover is a blue match(2X). I got excited only to see $10 under it. Still couldn't believe the guy who hit the $700 earlier came back and blew through most of it. Have to know when to walk away. Easier said then done though

Just found out the guy hit $500 on the machine roll. SOB. I was nice and let him have it since he blew through them earlier. Unreal with my luck today
