$500,000 Spectacular!!!!!!

[Meaney]

So, there is this new scratch-off game "$500000 Spectacular" that just came out early last week. It is a risky 20 dollar ticket though :\

I have bought 2 so far. Won 20 on the first and 100 on the second

Any of you tried this ticket yet??

Hey Guys,

We got one of those going here in the Windy for St. Pattys Day. They only sell 500,000 tix @ $20 each and the prize pool is as follows:

4 - Million Dollar Payouts

5 - $100,000 Payouts

500 - $1000 Payouts

Half of the total money is paid out, the state gets the other half, typical Lottery payouts.

The overall odds of winning a prize is 1 in 982, not bad odds for a lottery.

I bought one and won my $20 back. Then bought 2 $5 Deal or No Deal tickets and won $50 more. Kind of scary to buy those at $20 a pop though.

I know what you mean...I felt bad afterwards, I was like "shouldn't I use that 20 to buy more beer"

hahaha

You DID use that $20 to buy more beer. After winning the $100, you can buy MUCH more beer than that $20 would have gotten you.

oh thats right, I forgot

just won another bill today

[muc33]

Will you come and touch my sholder or something, I will buy a ticket then, and it might even help as I leave for lake of the woods Thursday.... You sound like you have the luck right now.

[bassNspear]

i should go out and buy one or two. I dont do these at all, but it would be sweet to win a few bills.

I would like to mention that I joined the $100 club today as well, with ticket #4 that I've purchased since they came out.

I was asking the gal behind the counter, and she said yes, she's seen more $100 payouts than the minimum $20.

But... I guess it shouldn't be that big of a surprise. If you were buying a $1 ticket, it's not that big of a deal to win $5.

Multiply both numbers by 20 and you've got these payouts.

When I lived in Kansas City they had a $10 game there I would buy. One night I bought one, nothing. Then another- nothing. Fast forward to #5 and my last $10 bill, nothing. Well, I was out of cash. In Missouri you can use a credit card to buy lottery tickets- so I got 2 more with that. Hit $700 on the second one. Most I have ever hit, felt like a million. As far as this topic, haven't played the $20 yet, but will sooner or later.

I see that someone from St. Paul won $500,000. There are still three of them remaining as well as three $25,000 prizes left. 8 $10,000 and 26 $1,000 prizes too.

I just picked up my St. Patty's day Millionare Raffle ticket here in the Windy. I am #442,852 and #442,849 out of 500,000 to be sold, they are right around 89% sold out.

Tickets were $20 each and the odds of winning something are under 1 in 1000, not too bad for a lottery. There will be 4 million dollar payouts (so I got that going for me, which is nice)

LOL

[Meaney]

dang! Someone already has a 500K winner

Wouldnt that just rock to scratch a ticket and see that 500K, I would probably pass out.

[TurnUpTheFishing]

hmmmm... You're tempting me to buying some of these. If I lose my money it will be on your conscience

[Meaney]

haha, your helping out minnesota in the long run...so if you lose your money, no biggie RIGHT??

[LMITOUT]

I bought one today and found out that my boss had just bought one earlier. Neither of us won. I said we should pool our money and go in together on them so we bought one more and won $20. Odds of winning a prize are 1:3-ish, so it played out as advertised I guess. I turned that one in for another but got another goose egg. I suppose we need to buy two more to get back to those 1:3 odds. lol. Every card had a $500,000 prize on it, but I'm guessing they all do to keep people interested.

[Meaney]

yea for sure...

get 3 X's in a row to win 500K

X X Ohhhhhhh
