I get a $1 per year for 100 years.

this game was you had to match 2 ends of a bill. They were different denominations; $1, $5, $10, anyway we matched 2 ends of a $5000 bill. Was pretty exciting. Of course we split it. Won other scratch offs. Haven't played in years.

The first time we won about $400 & the second time just over $700. Never won more than $2 since, & even then not very often.

some of that to a casino with friends, my treat, split $1800 with a friend at casino. A few years ago split in Powerball with work friends, won about $110000 each. Believe it or not, not much of a gambler.

Wow, you have been lucky!

have been lucky. They say you gotta buy if you want to win. But I have known people who got in trouble gambling. You know, moderation. But I do have things in life i should have used moderation with. But fun to think back on.

and nothing to brag about ever since

$90 on daily numbers game


both in Massachusetts

and $50 multiple times. I don't buy scratchers often so I guess I've been lucky in that regard - I haven't "invested" a lot of money in trying to win. If I added up all the small wins (free tickets , $4 and $5) to the larger ones and subtracted it from the money I've spent on my own scratchers (I've given them as hostess gifts, used as decorative tags on a wrapped gift and as stocking stuffers at Xmas time) it would probably come out to be a net zero.

The big payoff was 220,000! Darn one number off.

for my daughter. Sometimes she wins a few bucks, most times she doesn't but it is a tradition we have.

Won $10,000 on scratch (I rarely buy scratch cards) that a friend gave me for my birthday. I split it with her.

In retrospect I didn’t win anything.

Once a week on Fri payday I would stop at the same gas station to fill up and buy one for a buck. About half the time, I would win at least $10. It got to be a running joke with the usual attendant, who of course, kept urging me to buy more tickets. I went in one week and he said "last week for Lucky Dog they are retiring it, how many do you want?" I bought 7 - 2 didn't hit, the other 5 bought in @ $500. The highest single ticket was $250. I haven't played scratchers since then. I figured I tapped out that vein of luck.

other than that $20 is the most.

It felt like a lot of money at the time. I don't buy them that often but sometimes it is fun to buy one. I also won $25 once in a scratch off ticket.
