Weird Conspiracy, But I Believe it To Be True. And It's Scary. Scratch Off Tickets.

This is like that weirdo couple who voiceover coin pushing machines and act like they're winning all the coins in the staged event.
Meanwhile it's produced by a PR company just like this guy's videos are.

Everything is advertising.

They claim that the money helps the schools, but everytime school starts, they have a list of all the things the students parents need to buy.

Comsumer Society. Failing. The end of an Empire.

but a whole roll you are guaranteed you r money back.

coworker of mine bought a roll of 3 dollar tickets and won 50K

Well, I did some more checking.

I did find where they list the number of prizes remaining for each game, so at least that's still there.

AND you're still pretty much guaranteed to win a prize with the purchase of just 3 or 4 tickets. At least that's what I found with that one $10 game I checked out.

I was looking at the odds of winning the smallest prizes when I first checked. I should've been looking to see what the overall chance of winning was. For example, one $10 game shows a 1 in 6.25 chance of getting your $10 back, but at the very bottom it says there's a 1 in 3.18 overall chance of winning. So then, you should still be able to win a prize by buying 4 tickets. Maybe it's not so bad if the chance of winning the smaller prize isn't so good since that gives you a better chance at winning one of the bigger prizes, depending on how many of those bigger prizes are still available to be won that is!

If you're not winning anything at all, you're luck just may have run out for now! I wouldn't quit playing entirely though since you never know when your luck might change!

If you haven't been checking out your state lottery site before buying your scratch-off tickets, getting into that habit just might tip the odds a bit more in your favor.

I knew this junky chick that worked at a place that sold LOTTO scratch off tickets an they were told that the place was closing down an the owner was going to be gone until after closed, so this chick had her scumbag boyfriend come with her to work an started to scratch off ALL the tickets instead of selling them over 3 or 4 weeks an like 20 rolls later they had won on only a couple tickets In each roll an no more than a few hundred dollarsall together. it made me quit playing scratch offs when they told me that,I lived in California for a while an would see people win all the time mostly little amounts some big but alot,been in Florida long time an rarely win or see or hear of anyone that knows anyone that has won any amount other than very small amounts an have asked alot an it's always NO Florida has the worst odds an payouts from what I see plus it gets ALL the criminal psychopaths where California gets ALL the Kooks but aleast the lottery pays out with decent odds.

Back in the late 90'S I had the esteemed privilege of watching one of my co-workers scratch off like 1500+ instant lottery tickets in one sitting. Lol they only won a $50 dollar prize, a few $25 dollar prizes and some free tickets....it was enough of a validation for me to know too never waste my money playing that bs ever again!

My ex is a gambling addict, seen her bet the rent several times, hence the ex part

anyways, her go to is always scratchers, seen her hit here and there
but this last year, 6months or so at least, she got shit and is facing eviction again

OP, I think you're on to something

I watched a film where these guys bought $50.000.00 of $25 dollar scratchies, they lost 20 grand.

I've seen Cali pay, but not lately, like OP stated, the odds have changed

California, BTW

Lottery is just another TAX

It is always a losing game except for government who gets the tax money

Winning is an illusion because the majority of people lose

Do not contribute to this tax on peoples wallets and souls

Sounds like a good business plan, infinite money hack

I live in the UK and i agree. I won for the first time in about 20 cards yesterday and it was a fiver off of 2 x 2 pound cards, which used to be great.

is it just me or does this look like obamas wife

If you live in Idaho, you might want to start buying some lottery/scratch off tickets, at least according to what I found on one website.

The state with the absolute highest lottery payout in 2018 was Idaho, which has an impressive payout of 78.5% of ticket money going toward prizes.

I'll see if I can locate an actual listing of all the states so you can see how your state compares to the rest.

OMG! So a total loser thinks this? OMG!!! Go to the state website and they post odds and winners. they have not changed. My God this is sooooo pathetic. Even for GLP.

Official odds are bad, but that doesn’t stop them from rigging it does it?

I AGREE WITH YOU! I have noticed the EXACT SAME THING--and thought what in the hell?

I consistently LOSE on every single scratch off especially in the last 3-4 months.

Now hold on, Harry wasn't saying anything of the kind.

Awww your kitty's cute

It could just be mathematical variance - winning poker players routinely experience the same thing (termed as a down-swing).

Or, you could be right.

The issue I have with lotto (or whatever it's called now in the UK) is who exactly is doing the adjudication? You need a level of trust that I simply do not have.

No lotto for me.

Ps. Besides the hideous projects they invest in. Probably more insider-trading and cream-licking. Gross!

Idk what's up with that. I never gamble in any way shape or form cuz i have rotten luck where money's concerned. I've had some luck in life but never connected to money.

I have had a direct debit running on the Euro Millions for just under 2 years now, I can confrm I have never gone such a long period without a single prize.

The Euro states there is a 1 in 13 chance of winning a prize, There are 53 weeks in the year which means there are 106 draws per year (2 per week).

So I should get an avg of 16 prizes in 24 months, I got 1 prize in £3.30 22 months.

I have been thinking the same lately, its rigged.

So because you are a loser on scratch off tickets that is a sign the world is ending?
Lol. OK.

Extracting revenue from those appearing to have disposable income, middle class attack? Of course those that are on assistance and playing the odds will be caught up in it too.

I bought whole stacks or rolls of tickets before. Some have more winners. Some less.

I played approx $8400 in a week and got no big prizes over $100, but the tickets were on a buy 1 get 1 free so I was playing half price odds. Walked away with $10,300 paid in $8400 would have been $16800 without half price BOGO for a net loss of $6500.

Only came out ahead because of BOGO. But with almost 5000 tickets scratched I was hoping for a big prize. Nope.

Some entire rolls were big duds.

They can't all be winners.

The guy wasn't supposed to sell me rolls (Indian guy) but social engineering works wonders.

So it's not easy even when you have 'inside help'. The people selling the tickets can't claim them, their friends and family are critically examined if they win.

There's maybe some truth to op story.

I tried praying the rotteries

Commercial and office space real estate is what 30% of what it was 5 years ago. I think in most states you pay a lot less in property taxes if its empty and not generating revenue. They need to fund massive budgets. My guess is its being funneled to that.
