Our play as of 11/23/2014

Please noteThe primary source for the scratch ticket data used in this blog is the NJ Lottery Instant Games website. Keep in mind that errors can occur. It is always best to check the original source if the information you need is critical to the success of a venture. Gaming with NJ Lottery Instant Games is an adventure. Enjoy.

The simple rules .that we follow ...
[Updated 11/25/2014 to include $3 scratch tickets.]
  • We have a monthly gaming budget of $60, our "entertainment" budget amount, and at the beginning of each month we add $60 to our $1 - $2 - $5 ticket bank.
  • We check the NJ Lottery website for the $1 - $2 - $3 - $5 ticket active games and their outstanding prizes, and then choose the game(s) that we will play from that information. http://www.state.nj.us/lottery/instant/2-0_i$nstant_games.shtml
  • We start each month with the purchase of 20 ea. $1 scratch tickets and 20 ea. $2 scratch tickets for a total of $60 and "play the game."
  • During a month, the amount above $100 in our $1 - $2 - $3- $5 ticket bank is put in our "dream bank":
    Please note: We always buy 20 tickets in sequence from the same game.
    - If the gaming amount in our $1 - $2 - $3- $5 ticket bank is $100 then we purchase 20 ea. $5 tickets in sequence from the same game.
    - If the gaming amount is equal to or greater than $60 and less than $100 then keep the amount over $60 in the $1 - $2 - $3- $5 ticket bank and  buy 20 ea. $3 tickets, or--depending on whim--purchase of 20 ea. $1 scratch tickets and 20 ea. $2 scratch tickets.
    - If the gaming amount is equal to or greater than $40 and less than $60 then keep the amount over $40 in the $1 - $2 - $3- $5 ticket bank and buy 20 ea. $2 tickets in sequence from the same game.
    - If the gaming amount is equal to or greater than $20 and less than $40 then keep the amount over $20 in the $1 - $2 - $3- $5 ticket bank and buy 20 ea. $1 tickets in sequence from the same game.
    - If the gaming amount falls below $20 then we carry it forward to the next month.
  • Repeat.
