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.

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. ;\)

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.

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 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

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.

      My kid was eating in Beverly Hills and ran into this guy. Talked to him a bit and wished him luck in the game tonight.

      As a recovering machinist, I can appreciate that.  If the spec is 0.001 - 0.0015, then clearly the correct measurement is 0.00125, duh…

      By Crow Hunter · Posted

      I just figured that it is easy enough to just get a 3 bank so when the boat is not in use I can keep all 3 batteries charged. I have not bough a charger yet, maybe I will give it some more thought. Edit: After thinking this over, with the size, weight, and heat output of the charger (as well as the cost) I think it makes sense to just buy a 2 bank charger, I have a smaller charger i can use on the starting battery when the boat is sitting at home. Forgive me, for i am a retired engineer and I have to obsess over everything...

      Congrats on the motor!  I think you’ll like it.   I can’t say much on the charger location but I’ve seen them under the lid in back compartments and under center rod lockers.  160 degrees is more than I expected to hear.   Curious why you’re opting for a 3 bank charger with a 24V trolling motor.  Unless you don’t feel you be running you big motor enough to keep that battery up as well?

      I did buy an Minnkota Ulterra, thanks for the recommendations. I had a bunch of Cabela"s bucks saved up, which helped. Now i need to get an onboard battery charger. Where do you guys mount these things in your boat? The manufacturer I am looking at {Noco genius) says tht their 3-bank charger will run at 160 degrees, seems like a lot of heat in an enclosed compartment? Thanks for any input on this.

      You're very lucky a troop of Sea Monkey's didn't carry you away.

      Wasn't terrible at a state park beach. Antelope island maybe.  I wouldn't recommend it as a beach destination tho.  Figured I was there, I'm getting in it.

      The water looked and smelled disgusting with hundreds of thousands of birds sh*tting in there.  About as gross as the Salton Sea. When I duck hunted there I didn't even want to touch the water.

      It's kinda gross with the algae in the summer but I got in it anyway.  Wanted to see the increased bouyancy at work.  You can kinda tuck yourself into a ball and you'll just float with your head above water.  When dry off you look diamond encrusted with the salt.
