Can someone please explain to me how I can have 1 winner out of 20 $5 crosswords and 2 winners out of 25 $3 crosswords? I understand how odds work, but this is freaking ridiculous. How about improving odds and getting rid of those stupid commercials? I have been a loyal lottery player for over 10 years spending several thousand dollars a year. I don't mind losing, but ripping me off is another thing. I can find new ways to spend gambling money if this doesn't improve.

I travel for work and Pennsylvania is by far the absolute worst State for buying scratch off tickets! Every person I talk to says the same thing and it is actually getting worse! Not to mention, where does the money go? Do some research like I did and you will be extremely grateful and probably stop giving that crooked State your hard earned money! All State lotteries are not designed to hand out cash, we all know and understand that... Pennsylvania, however literally leaves you feeling like you better not drop the soap, if you know what I mean!

My wife and I just yesterday purchased 20 $3 bolt bucks tickets and won 6$

How is this legal or ANYWHERE WITHIN THE ODDS?

The 5 dollar crossword tickets have changed . You can't win unless you buy at least 10 tickets now, and it's usually 5 bucks . They changed the odds right before Christmas. I have stacks of tickets and can prove that the tickets are different now . The patterns have changed and the odds are a balls faced lie . Why doesn't someone file a class action suit . I'm in .

Stop playing scratch off tix. The top prize on a $5 scratch ticket, for example is $100k and there are only 10 prizes available. The odds that the winning ticket is in your favorite outlet is extremely low as there are thousands of outlets in the state. You are better off buying a 5 digits number and for $2 bet you can win the same $100k with better odds

I have spent a lot of money buying scratch off tickets, and rarely win on number 059 on the $5 and $10 tickets. So when I see that the retailer is selling near the end of the book, I will not buy them.

I have been playing the crossword scratch off for years ans was very excited about the new one Cashtastic., unfortunately, this one is a dud. I had bought a total of $50, at one point, only to receive 0ne $5 winner. I had asked a few sellers if they were cashing out any winners, and they replied "N0" and also they are hearing many complaints about this ticket' What is going on!
