Tonight Tim purchased $40 worth of Virginia Lottery's Holiday Treasures scratch-offs. That would be 8 tickets at $5 each. He won only $30. Well, at least he lost only $10 this time. We are used to worse.
The odds of winning the top prize of $25,000 on Holiday Treasures are 1 in 244,800. Those odds are actually better than most other scratch-offs we've purchased, but we still won only scant amounts. As of today there are only 6 remaining top prizes and 22 $5,000 prizes.
I sincerely hope that the Virginia Lottery will change the odds in our favor for more games. They've done it with the raffles (last time they sold a limited amount of only 440,000 tickets). They need to do that more often. The odds of winning $1M from the last raffle were one in 110,000. Those are much better odds in our favor! I wish they'd hold many more raffles -- one after the other. We'd put our money there.
Wish us luck!
