Chasing DIAMONDS, multipliers & burstys! Illinois & Iowa lotteryAdded:
Hey guys, we're back again today trying our luck and today we have a $10 money match, a $3 diamond Slingo, Emeralds, and we have a $50 frenzy from the Iowa Lottery that we're going to start with.
It is a match and win.
And there is a $50 bursty on this ticket. Let's see. Odds 1 in 4.86.
Zoomy zoom.
All right.
Let's start it off with my silver 3-year anniversary coin.
We are looking for a seven.
We have 15.
Six is one off.
13.
Nine.
And a four. So no win on that one.
Let's try for some Emeralds.
On this one, it is a match and win. We win, we scratch our multiplier to see what we're multiplying our winnings by.
Uh the odds they're 1 in 4.
97.
17.
Three.
18's one off.
25.
12.
And a four. Nothing.
Unless we can get that money back in the bonus.
It's a fishy.
All right. Let's move on to the diamond Slingo.
On this one, we scratch our numbers down here.
We scratch our numbers down here.
We match them up here.
We need one complete line to win.
If we find the gold coin, it is $3 instantly.
If we find diamonds, one is five, two is 10, three is 30, and four is $50.
The odds on this ticket, one in 4.35.
Let's zoom zoom on in some.
We have a diamond. This is a $5 winner, guys.
>> [applause] >> 19, 42, 55, and a 69.
There's no 19.
Oh, I didn't [laughter] even look at the right spot. There's no 19.
I'm so distracted by that diamond.
We do have 42.
No 55.
No 69.
13, 18, 40, 50, and 75.
Let me try to clean that up a little bit for you guys.
No 13.
No 18.
No No 50.
We do have 75.
8 16 35 47 and 63.
No 8. No 16. No 35. No 47.
And no 63. We are not getting anything in that line there.
1 29 37 53 and 65.
We don't have one.
We don't have 29. No 37.
Finally, a 53.
Got something in that line.
And 65.
12 22 36 60 and 72.
We do have 12.
We have 22.
We have 36.
We don't have 60 or 72.
2 25 33 46 and 62.
We don't have two. We do have 25.
No 33. We have 46.
We have 62.
All right, we need a 54 for a line there.
4 26 43 51 and 68.
No 4, no 26, no 43.
We have 51.
And no 68. All right, so we need 24 44 54.
Give us a seven. All right, so we can add 70 to one that we need as well.
28 was not the one I asked for.
I wanted 24.
39 49 All right, please give us 70.
70 is the only way we can win.
And they gave us 66.
All right, so no diagonal, no diagonal no line, no line. All right, but we did get a diamond for a $5 winner. We are definitely definitely taking that.
All right.
It's the money match.
On this one, there are four different games. First one, tic-tac-toe.
Second one three of the same prize amounts. Third one, two symbols in the same spin.
Fourth one, match and win with the possibility of a 10x.
The odds one in 3.65.
Zoom on in here to game number one.
We're going to switch it up to our friends at Mitchell Scratch and Play.
I hope they are doing well. Haven't seen them in a while.
X O X X O O All right, so we need an X here or an O there.
So we're going to go backwards.
O X O No win and I can tell that would have been a huge prize if I had five all the way over here.
All right. We're going to save game two for last cuz if we reveal three same prize amounts, we're already going to know what we won before we finish the ticket or at least part of what we won.
So on game three, we need two identical symbols in the same spin.
We got a cell phone.
And some dice.
Rainbow and a bar.
Lemon and a pepper.
All right.
Well, down here on game four, match and win.
Possibility of a 10X symbol.
14 35 6 7 24 11 Lonely one 28 13 One off, we need 14.
18 17 25 Eight is one off.
Three 12 33 27 Five is one off.
14, we have a winner, guys. Caught me off guard there in the clutch corner.
Heck, yeah.
All right, let's see if we can match it three prize amounts to add to that.
50 50,000 50,000 We need one more of those.
200 All right, one more 200, too.
And a 50. All right, so we just have this 14.
What's it going to give us?
Little zeros with the bigger zero right there.
10 bucks, guys. We are taking it.
You guys know I take them all, big or small, which means we broke even today, guys.
We had 10 there, five there, that's 15 back out of 15.
