    What's the fukkin point of that? Win some horse shit "prize" that's worth the price of a ticket. Now I gotta go back into the store and claim my break even prize. Seriously why have this as a prize? Just take the $5 tickets and cut the number of them in half and make them $10 prizes

    and Yea, Yea, Yea lottery is for people who can't do math and blacks. Thought I'd take a shot with a fiver

        Something is drastically wrong then, because most of the lottery winners are non black.

            Someone got me a $20 for my birthday and told me that you always win something, even a free ticket. Amazingly mine didn't win shit.

                i think the point of the breakeven prize is that most people see it as worthless just like you do, and they'll typically keep letting it ride on more scratch offs. brilliant ploy to sell more tickets

                    No joke i nearly sued those cheating lottery fuckks.

                    Bought a $10 ticket. Ticket had 10x symbol to win 10x the prize. Got a 10x symbol so I'm thinking I'm gonna win at least $100 since the minimum win is $10. But no, they put a fukking $1 winner under the 10x symbol. Such a fukking scam. You will never see a $1 prize under a losing number on a $10 ticket. They put it under the 10x to royally fukk you.

                      Read the back of the ticket, it gives you the odds of winning. its def -EV but i do agree winning 5 on a $5 ticket is stupid.

                          Its smart because itll keep you buying, its like a push, youll use that returned money to buy another ticket maybe even two. Now they have sone people thinking when they buy a ticket that sometimes theyll at least get their get their money back, just another way to create action.

                                  Can you imagine if you gave someone a lotto ticket as a present, they won millions and didn't give you shit?

                                  I'd like to see that happen to you coach

                                          Agree with Dane....I buy scratch offs like once or twice a week as I'm in the convenience store most days, usually buy a few 5 or 10 dollar ones...The pushes are annoying but I usually just stack up all the winners and eventually cash em all back in when I get to like $100 or whatever and just buy more

                                          Def down lifetime but its fun and harmless

                                          Especially a sucker for the "Win $2000 a week for life"

                                            Had a co worker win 1k a week for life. He quit shortly there after. Another co worker hit 250k. Still working.
                                            Bought a new truck, investing the rest. His broker said he will be able to retire very nicely when he's 50.
                                            Both $20 tickets. Moral of the story....buy the big boy tickets.

                                                    never bought a scratcher how do i ask for one? Do I just go give me that orange scratcher? Game seems to complicated having to match numbers and symbols. I just stick to the occasional lotto cause its easy and simple.

Now I gotta go back into the store and claim my break even prize. Seriously why have this as a prize? Just take the $5 tickets and cut the number of them in half and make them $10 prizes

                                                        and Yea, Yea, Yea lottery is for people who can't do math and blacks. Thought I'd take a shot with a fiver

                                                          In Ohio they did get sued and had to change the laws....the # of winner of each roll of tickets is updated online or by request....all top prizes were won on a particular game....so the rest of the people buying the ticket were essentially being lied to...they had no chance at the top prize
