I made it to the bay to visit friends and family after 5+ years of not being in the bay. I love digging in the trash for winners and 2nd chances. I play scratchers by looking at the losers ticket numbers in the trash and base the odds of the tickets and how many they might've lost in a row....

I love Trash digging and my dream is to someday find a huge win in the trash. They didn't scratch the barcode to verify if it was a winner or loser. Every day there's a winner ticket thrown in the trash and it could be a jackpot win and we won't even know it

I’m calling it now, but the win is due to the bubble sheet in these states. The winners bubbled every other bubble in the 3rd row.

Since there's some people still saying that it's fraud, here's what the Indiana, Kansas, and New Jersey Powerball play slips look like. (Disclaimer: Got the images from Google) As a reminder, the numbers were: 3-19-35-51-67-15 Indiana: Indiana PB Play Slip Kansas: Kansas PB Play ...

2 days in a row I'm on a hot streak because I've finally found a store where there's a bunch of losers in the trash and I can play off the ticket numbers. $100 winner off a $10 ticket and $75 winner off $20 ticket. I'm up $45 today so far. Had to leave the store because I reache...

I'm on fire today. Trash method OP!!! 10x $100 win on $30 ticket and $100 win on $20 ticket and $10 win on $3 ticket. Made the mistake to chase $40 ticket 3 times and got back $50 on the $40 ticket

Most of my wins have been free tickets, $20, $50 a handful, $100. I’ve yet to win more than that, though I play lower denomination tickets like $2-5$ tickets and $10 tickets here and there too. Even winning a few grand, or 10k would be pretty nice. Odds are incredibly low to win millions at once ...

I was down to the last ticket and I was already thinking I lost it all. At least it’s something!! Better late than never

I never buy tickets maybe 5-10 a year, I had winners from my birthday months ago I got as a gift. I was getting gas and remembered I had them, so I cashed them all for $42. I was like ile spend $20 of the winnings its been a while. Got home and scratched this!

So, I’ve been reading a lot about winning the lottery, many people claim they wouldn’t immediately quit their jobs. Do you really believe this? Would you? I’d like to hear some scenarios. Let’s chat!

So I grabbed a bunch of thrown away ripped up tickets from the store trash because I will scan them for the second chance drawing. Tell me why I found 5 winning tickets. One with $100, one with $40 and so on. But i guess because they are ripped, even tho the barcode is intact, I can start crying ...

I bought myself a $5 ticket that ended up losing. I heard it drop down, but didn't see it. So I bent down to look, and this had landed in part of the machine where, if you didn't really crouch down and look, you'd never have seen it. The ticket I bought was stuck behind it, so I grabb...

I purchase 4-$5 ticket consecutive numbers and hit $10 on 3 of 4. And $100 on 1 of 4. Never seen anything like that.

Nothing crazy but definitely played my winnings back and lost it but its ok. 2M ima hit my favorite spot

I always scratch the bonus parts first because I never win on them but I was surprised to finally get a win in the bonus part on a poker ticket. Happy to finally get it on a $5 scratcher with a $50 win

Copy and Pasted Method From Original Post Shoutout to HomeworkLost HomeworkLost · 101d Play 100 consecutive plays with picking 5 numbers…so 5 spot! I’ve had very good odds hitting 5 numbers at least once out of 100 so $450 when it was that…now it’s $435 but still a very good win! If you have th...

My second $500 win ever . Still hunting for a claimer… coming soon I can feel it

So, I as walking to my bus stop last night and I for some reason always pick up scratch-offs off the ground. I found a winning $10 one a few years ago, that led me to do this. So last night saw one kinda wet and it was a $20 one and I go and pick it up. And it was a winner (down playing for effec...

I’ve been playing the same numbers just about every day for over a decade, cash 5 lotto. Missed buying one for last night and lo and behold, all 5 hit. That would have been HUGE for me and my family, paid off debt, fix my house that’s falling apart and lift the looming stress. Trying to find a si...

Wife had me go get cat food last night picked this up with the change coming out the grocery store. Cool little $100 I’ll take it.

I mostly play powerball but just wanted to try my luck at a scratch game definetly will start doing these more often.

Back when I was in college, I bought 5 $2 scratch tickets and brought them back to my dorm room. My GF at the time came over soon afterwards and I forgot about them. A week later I found them under a bunch of papers on my desk. I ended up winning $3,000 off of one ticket. That was super swee...

Went to Smart and Finals and got some $3 scratchers for mom and first one she got a 10x symbol for $50. She came to me asking if she lost lol. Very satisfying to see when symbols are a decent prize.

So I'm always looking in the trash next to the Scratchers and check if there are losers for second chance, Potential winners thrown away and ticket numbers. I play looking at the numbers played on the scratchers and base my decision to play that ticket or not and 70% of the time it's a w...

We built a database that tracks prize data daily from official state lottery websites across 40+ states, and we used it to answer a question the lottery industry never has to answer publicly: when a state ends a scratch-off game, how often are top prizes still unclaimed? After analyzing 8,200+ en...
