speeddmon - nice 4 out of 5 - oh so close !! Great pair of $200's CAPE !!! Congrats !
I realize this is for scratch offs but I wanted to share how my luck has been the past week playing Jackpot Triple Play - first time I've played this game ....talk about frustrating and 'almost' .... winning #'s were 3 5 10 17 18 22 - my two tickets combined had all 6 ....... why not all on one ticket and I would have pocketed over a mil and been on my way ....... spent 4 bucks and won 12
Thanks, I tried jackpot for a while but mostly just won free tickets so I had to give that up. I find I'm winning more on fast play and fantasy 5. I'm interested to see how the new LottoX goes, it seems Florida is trying to make it's own "powerball/mega million" ticket or regenerate interest in the lotto ticket. Since we're in Phase 3 PB/MM should return to increasing their payouts as well instead of those 2 or 3 million increments.

Yeah it sucks alot not only missing by one number but having 1 person hit that night and take my winnings from 555 dollars to 110 dollars. It happened the last time I hit 4 numbers a few years ago as well. I loved the new Bonus Double Match Game but hate the new Triple Match game. I can't win for anything more than $10 dollars so I have given up and just do $5 fantasy five instead. It's funny that wasn't the double match the same as the new game where you had 3 ways to win? You could win by matching numbers, bonus number and matching 3 like prizes yet they call it triple match. Maybe I'm mistaken. Anyway I finally tried the new X games with the 200x and lost yesterday so I think I'm done with scratchers for a while. Not sure how those people on Facebook are winning lol.
Hi Speed, and yes, the new triple is essentially same as the old, 'cept for the name and that top prize is $1M.

Solid $100, skeptic, congrats!!
These were I believe reordered but years ago, so I don't think what you experienced in terms of scratch easiness is due to a reorder but more so your $ Hundro was probably maybe in the middle of the pile or something so that the latex hadn't gotten baked on so bad.?!!
Ya know though, I've not seen books north of 640K, so will see if latex is easier when I come upon tickets in that range.

havn't played for a while so thought I'd give it a try ....... I have not had a decent win in a while and used to get them often ......today I ran through 20 yellow LFL's from one book - $30, 30, 25 20, 20 and that was it ! Book number 652 - think that's the highest book # I've seen - then I went through 15 random $200X - only to get a 20X with $2 under it ...... and two $20's I don't like the game at all .... the way it looks and the number lay out ...plus that fake bonus box at the end............................ so after what I thought would be a bang up night with at least one $500 it turned out to be a bust .... bought a dozen more mixed and got a total of $300 from the twelve ...... posted them on next page ........ I don't know if people are playing less or not at all because there hasn't been a post for about 5 days - or are they posting somewhere else ? I remember when there was 5 or 6 people who were on almost every day - lots of pics.... so what's up ?? We need a scratcher that's more interesting and fun rather than just scratching a line of numbers - they're almost all the same --- boring ...... I think it was a $30 game back around 7 years (?) ago where you had three or four different ways to scratch and win a prize ....why can't the Lot come up with one like it again ??
Notice that the GR wins were #28 and 29 .......$100 each........

I like to play a few scratchers when I go on vacation, so a couple weeks ago for my vacay week I bought $500 worth. I found some $5,000,000 Luck tix at a Publix liquor store and grabbed a bunch of those, plus a mix of __X the Cash. I wound up getting $310 back on the $500, so a 62% return on investment. That's right around the expected percentage return on Florida scratchers. It was a $100 winner on a $5,000,000 Luck that put me in that range...
I see they've got a new batch released this week, all holiday/Christmas themed tickets. IDK, but isn't it a little early for the holiday tickets to come out? There's $1, $2, $5, and $10 tickets, but no $20 or higher tickets. (Plus the odds on the $10 Holiday Cash Blowout (looks a lot like $500 Madness) are 8.8 to 1, so I probably won't be playing that one.
I think the Florida lottery might be beginning to feel the pain. Pushing the holiday theme, dropping higher-priced tickets... Any thoughts?
