I know a lot of people who are getting free money from the New Jersey Lottery through its second-chance contests without paying a dime and this is how they do it:
1) The limit for the New Jersey “Collect 'N Win” is 50 tickets per day (that's 1,500 per month), no matter how much each ticket is valued at. I know people who ask vendors for their bags of cashed and non-winning tickets and willing vendors will give bags with THOUSANDS of tickets; those tickets are then sorted by denomination ($1, $2, ... $5, ... $10, $20, etc., and even $100+ tickets!) and entered largest value first: hit the 50-ticket limit and then do the same the next day, etc. This way THOUSANDS of entries can go into “Collect 'N Win” for prizes! And in January a lot of these people (happily and unexpectedly) got numerous $5 cash vouchers when NJ had a promotion within “Collect 'N Win” that awarded $5 cash vouchers (the more entries, the more vouchers) that expired at the end of February. If a vendor is unwilling to give tickets, you can go through the trash cans under the ticket checkers or wait until garbage night and get the bags of tickets from the curb in front of the stores. NOTE: this is not really worth it for the New York “Collect ‘N Win” contest because they have a $20 per day limit.
2) The same is possible for the New Jersey “Million Dollar Replay” where you can enter up to $250 per day (that's $7,500 per month!) of instant tickets and in the process a lot of people find winning tickets that were thrown away by careless people who only checked the tickets with their eyes and did not scan them. I know a group of people who pooled their entries, won, and split a $25,000 prize in the March, 2018 yearly “Million Dollar Replay” drawing in Asbury Park.
This is all free and I brought it up to the New Jersey Lottery Commission because I thought the high limits were unfair to people who only entered tickets they actually bought. But the Commission told me they were not going to change anything so I guess this strategy has their approval! Good luck everyone!
