Illinois lottery was removed from the mega millions jackpot game because the state is in debt.

Over the last 3 weeks I have degened and purchased 40, $10 scratch offs. All from various stores / locations.

All of them are a 30% chance to at least break even and win $10, and I have lost all of them. They have been scanned at the stores to verify if it was human error.

This is either the worst streak ever, or perhaps Illinois back loaded the tickets for the winners because they are in debt.

Possible class action law suit?

If slots pay% is around 92-97% that means every dollar lose about 7cents?

Why is it that pay out mostly 0 or less then your stake? Surely paid 90 odd percentage your money would last a while? Yet it seems to fleece you super quick.

And if you play low stakes on slots do you get a worst payout %? And if so should they not have to tell you this??? Online slots I mean.

The thing about the scratchers is that for the most part, you bought a loser. There it was, sitting there, a losing ticket. And then you bought it! Weeeeeeeeeee!!! Can we have more fun than that?

I have to admit this looks a bit sketchy, as the chances of this happening is 1 in 60 million. But winning the mega millions jackpot is about 4 times more unlikely, and that also happens to people. So what can you do?

Anyway, if you need an avatar:
