Lottery Survey

[savage1]

I was pondering putting this in the main forum, because it does involve gambling but decided to put it here to be safe.
My question is what is the most you ever won on a lottery ticket?
Also, describe the type of ticket-lottery, scratch ticket, etc. you won on and how much you paid for it and how long ago.
Also, how much on an average do you spend in a given week on lottery ticket(we all know there is a big Powerball one going today) and what type do you mostly buy?

Never won
Never play
But thanks for asking

Scratch Lotto
$50 winner on a $5 ticket.
Don't play hardly ever. Just when I get a little urge for a quick fix. LOL

[Blackbeard]

$50 on a $3 scratch, and $240 on pick-4 box, spend about $5 per week

Just to show how you never know, my ex-wife told me a few days ago that a friend of hers just won a million on a scratch ticket;she gets something like $40K for 20 years!
I myself recently won the most I ever did on a $1 ticket, $100, and thought that was pretty good considering I never won more than $30 before on one of those.

.

our dept. won $175.000 in the mega millions . we had 5 number's but didnt have the power ball .we had our picture in the daily hearld with the heading village pool make's a splash . we took home after taxes a little over $ 10.000. we each put in $3.00 ( 11 of us ) the funny thing is there was 1 guy in our dept. that dont believe in gambling & didnt play . i only get quick pick's when the prize get's over 100 million . i dont play scratch off's.

When I first moved to Kansas City I hit five of six before they had the powerball. Grand price was $30,000,000, someone hit it and 5 of 6 paid only $968.00. I forgot to claim on my income tax (which is a very simple thing) and was audited three years later. cost me almost $500.00 in taxes and penalties.

Also won $100.00 to years ago.

$252 on the PA Super 7 (They dont have it anymore)...

I think I had 4 or 5 #s (needed 7 to win jackpot)...

I was 14 at the time, so it was a huge payday lol

Also ill only play the power ball when the jackpot is higher then the odds (145,000,000 to 1 to win, ill buy tickets when the jackpot is over $145,000,000) Technically it gives you a mathematical advantage if youre the only one that hits!

A free 20oz Coke in the "Twist and Look Under the Cap" game.
I usually play 3 times a week or so, but I'm trying to cut back
because I keep getting the dreaded three words, "Please Try Again".

Expensive Habit!

Its funny you should mention that one, as today while I was in process of cleaning up my house in anticipation of the arrival of my soon to be wife, I found two winning bottle caps in the contest you describe, the former which I had forgotten about, each of which entitles me to a litter of coke.
