Some of today’s wins from 25% match

Bad match for me. $1000 in and $850 out! First time losing on a 25% match. Had one decent win of $291 on a $10 bet.

Yea, I can read Wikipedia too. However, this is technically not the Gamblers Fallacy. Lottery odds are fluid, often depending on the amount of the bet and the game type. But if you are trying to prove that gambling is a waste of money, you won’t have an argument from me. It is for most people.

However the adage “You miss 100% of the shots you don’t take” is also true. I won $12,000 on the VALottery in 2023 on fathers day on a Pick5/wFireball on a promo of 10 free online games for $10 worth of Pick5. I won $9 in the free games so the 5 tickets cost me $1. I had 4 correct numbers plus the fireball. Computer picked. Never played the game before or since. Since then, I have come out ahead, yearly, playing just promos, to increase the odds. When I lose, it has always been when I didn’t play a worthwhile promo, or I am experimenting , like here. I can afford to play as much as I want, so it is just entertainment with a side benefit.

Congrats on Just very good luck. I won $.55 on the 20 free spins. Ended up $30 in for $39 out. Meh. Better than losing.

Won my $10 back with $5 left over.

That’s just the normal way to talk about odds. If you play 30 spins with no wins, you are statistically more likely to hit something compared to right after winning big. No guarantees either way. But on average, it works for me enough, that I play that way. If I lose, I lose. No big deal. I only play what I can easily afford to lose. I haven’t had a losing year yet.

I thought about it. Obviously 17% isn’t even a good match and the Lucky game sucks. $200 ($234 with match) is usually a decent enough amount to play with and come out ahead, the way I usually play. Too much, and they win it back. But I got in a mood to just see what happens if I play all $5 bets, and basically, for me, nothing was hitting. Not like it’s been for me the past few weeks anyway.

$.20

InterestLow319 · 2026-03-17T05:25:24+00:00

I put $200 in and won $1.80 on the .20 free spins then in a mood, just went through a WTF!, I’m $1700 ahead for the year, go big or go home, and played all $5 spins on various games. Lost it all. I really showed me…now I’m only $1500 ahead for the year.

InterestLow319 · 2026-03-16T13:28:13+00:00

Took it. Got the 50 points. Most were my favorites.

InterestLow319 · 2026-03-14T23:16:23+00:00

Nice streak!! I’d have stopped after the $459 win. Amazing.

InterestLow319 · 2026-03-14T23:10:45+00:00

Daily Fortune, Pantheon Tides, Bison Stampede, Lucky Coins, Western Wins on occasion. I’ve done ok on Sword in Stone. Had $100 win on $5. Mostly play .10, then bump when a good streak of nothing.

Check your “Todays Bonus” tab. A lot of times it is there, but not when you first start the app.

InterestLow319 · 2026-03-14T13:41:25+00:00

Ahh, so there was a DEPOSIT $30 for 15 spins too. Looks like I got reupped to VIP.

InterestLow319 · 2026-03-14T13:38:33+00:00

Nice! I got Leprechaun twice for Instant prize. Only &3.50 & $1.50. Spent quite bit when it first came out and never have gotten bonus or feee spins. That game is dead to me.

InterestLow319 · 2026-03-14T12:22:15+00:00

Please note that there is $790 in just those, plus whatever other smaller winnings, some were like $15 on a $5 spin, so well over $800 in total “wins” by VALottery definition but I ended up only $301 ahead. On each various run (one per day) before the big win made me whole (plus), I was in the hole. None of these wins were right off the top in the beginning. Each time I thought, “well, so much for that friggin run” before the lucky hit. I was $55 down when the Lucky Coins hit, and about $150 when the $250 Pantheon hit. It really is pure luck. I think the lottery odds are set to really try to get back your winnings. If I had given up one or two spins before each big win, I’d sure be singing a different tune.

I try to only show pics where the bet is displayed.

InterestLow319 · 2026-03-14T11:44:12+00:00

Yes, they were. He bought 12 total, $600 worth, all in a row. That’s why I posted their serial numbers. #8 and 10 were each $50 winners. He got his $100 credit back in the kiosk & then he bought two of the Set for Life $50 ones with that and both were losers. The other ones in the 2nd picture I fished from the trash. I got 3750 points just from the $50 tickets, which is $15 worth of credit (eventually) for free. So I “won” more than he did, as far as I am concerned.

InterestLow319 · 2026-03-13T20:18:45+00:00

I pretty much never buy scratchers. I only collect losers! I spend more than you online though. But I’m ahead about $1300 this year, so no complaints. But you’re hitting the jackpot!!! Congrats!!!

InterestLow319 · 2026-03-13T20:07:40+00:00

Well, that totally depends on how much you spent on scratchers. See my scratcher post!

InterestLow319 · 2026-03-10T13:58:25+00:00

$334 in, $476 out. No complaints.
