New Scratch-Offs For Sale




I noticed that there are a few new Virginia Lottery scratch-offs for sale, including:

Tax Free $100,000. Ticket cost: $5. The odds of winning the top prize are not great: 1 in 734,400. And they're offering only seven top prizes of $100,000. I wish the odds of winning the top prize were in the hundred thousand range -- the top prize can be less. This ticket does, however, have 21 $10,000 prizes.

Money Mania
. Ticket cost: $5. The odds of winning the top prize of $150,000 aren't great on this one, either: one in 693,600. And they're offering six top prizes. This ticket also has 34 $10,000 prizes. Is there anyone out there winning these $10,000 prizes? How come the Virginia Lottery never reveals the $10,000 scratch-off winners on their website? I would love to see that!!! I would love for them to reveal all $10,000 and $5,000 winners, this way the rest of us don't feel so discouraged wasting so much money.

: Ticket cost: $2. The odds of winning the top prize of $15,000 are one in 530,400. They're offering only six top prizes. I wish they were offering 60!

I hope the Virginia Lottery will come out with many games where the odds of winning the top prize are around one in 100,000. It's just so discouraging spending big money on tickets all the time, and never even winning $100!
Tim said he would play a game that has bad odds for winning the top prize if the odds for winning $10,000 were 1 in 100,000.
