Keph Empire Fam Of The Day
Keph Empire Fam Of The Day: Cooper J.
Location: Virginia, United States
In May 2019 earlier this year, Cooper and I were chatting through the Keph Empire Facebook page.
Cooper said, "I've bought thousands of scratchers and never hit over $500."
The odds of hitting a claim winner (Prizes $600+) is definitely rough. On the $20 Monopoly scratch ticket that I won the claimer on, the odds of hitting a $1,000 winner is 1 in 3,319. That means you'll spend $66,380 ($20 x $3,319) to find a $1,000 prize.
But sometimes...the stars align and you get lucky!
In June 2019, just A MONTH after Cooper and I had talked, he messaged me saying that he hit his first claimer!
Below are the pictures he sent of his lottery claim winning adventure. Enjoy :)

It's always really cool seeing Keph Empire fam hitting big wins.
As you know, it was only until recently that I hit my own first claim win on the Keph Empire YouTube channel.

I hope every single one of you finds a scratcher claim win at least once in your life so you can experience the feels.
When you do find the elusive claim win, don't forget to come and tell me your story :)

3 Simple Rules For The Best Scratcher Playing Experience
When I was talking to Cooper, he said something that definitely resonates with any lottery player:
"I think everyone who plays has that dream of the big one.
The fantasy of telling everyone you hit something with a lot of zeroes at the end of it."
"I think everyone who plays has that dream of the big one.
The fantasy of telling everyone you hit something with a lot of zeroes at the end of it."
Everyone plays the lottery with the dream of hitting it big one day. In a single moment, you can be financially free.
Of course it's not that easy and in order to win, you have to pay and play.
If you're going to play, here are a few rules that I always play by:
1. Play Responsibly - It's written on every lottery scratcher in California. I know it's boring to think about it but it's an important one. Only spend what you'll be comfortable with losing. Your lifestyle shouldn't change because of the money you spent on scratchers.
2. Stay Positive - Glass half full. Always think good thoughts and stay positive no matter the outcome of your scratch ticket.
Don't get angry after losing a ticket. It only affects yourself and you basically end up losing twice; your happiness and your money. You have the power to decide how you want to feel and react, not only when you lose money playing scratchers, but in any situation in life.
Trust me, this makes the lottery scratcher experience SO much better when you aren't bummed out every time you lose.

3. Have fun - The last thing is...to HAVE FUN! Play scratch tickets for the fun of it.
Don't buy a scratch ticket, scratch only the barcode, and scan to see if you won or not. Play the actual game!
Play the scratch tickets that have games that you enjoy or are interested in trying.
I personally like the Frogger type games and word games.
That's it! Follow these 3 simple rules for an enjoyable lottery scratcher playing experience every time :)

Our First GAD Challenge Winner
He did it! William M. answered correctly in our first ever Keph Empire GAD Challenge with his answer: 13.
Listen to William's wild yet amazing reasoning as to how he got his answer! XD
"At first I saw the post on Facebook and counted what I could see.
It looked like 4 scratch cards total but it almost looked like there was part of a 5th ticket showing at the bottom.
Then I thought that Keph was being tricky and since he said to look at his blog, I did.
Good thing I did because the blog picture showed more than the ones on Instagram and Facebook.
In the blog picture I saw SIX tickets. I thought there was more but since I couldn't tell by the picture, I just started doing random math.
Since he posted on TWO pages (Instagram & Facebook), I did TIMES TWO to get 12.
I added ONE more since he posted it on his blog. I only added one instead of multiply because the blog was different than the socials."

Seriously, I absolutely LOVE the mental gymnastics that he used to come up with the correct answer.
If it works, it works! Can't argue with that hahaha

If you're wondering how I picked 13 scratchers for the challenge, I'll tell ya.
I bought a bunch of tickets from a scratcher machine for a future video.
I picked one of each of the scratchers that I hadn't played yet. It was 12 tickets, but I still had $4 left in the machine.
I had my wifey Steph pick out tickets and she chose 2 more $2 tickets.
I had bought a total of 14 tickets. I took one $2 scratcher out of the pile to use for another future video (about the white line theory).
That's how I ended up with 13 scratchers for the challenge!
