Im curious what the largest amount a shark has ever won playing the lottery and the scratch off tickets. $150 was my biggest payout. I spent $20 to get it so I netted $130. I quit right then and there but will play again soon.

The reason I asked is a local man just won 1 million on a $10 scratch off ticket and it makes me want to play some more.

So, who's the big winner in the tank?

As for playing the lottery...

The lottery is a tax on the mathematically challenged.

I won $300 on year, and the next year I won $100. Both of those were right around Christmas time so it was a great time to get some extra money.

Lottery: (2) $1 tickets a week, largest win = $3
Scratch Tickets: (1-2/month) $1 tickets max, largest win = $30

its not about the winning. I know I am not going to win. its the hour or so a week that I BS about what I am going to buy with the money when I win it that makes it worth every penny.

$5,000.

On a whim, I played my sons birthday month/day straight on the PA daily number on his birthday, ten $1 tickets and it hit straight that night paying 500:1. He turned 5 at the time and I'd been playing it for a $1 or $2 a day for the 5 years before it hit. I came out ahead but not as much as it seems as I figured I was into it for well over $2K before it hit.

Never had much luck beyond a $20 winner or so on the occasional scratch off I'll buy 1 or 2 times a month nor the periodic Power Ball or Mega ticket that I'll get a few times a month.

$10,000 on a scratch off

Got it as part of a white elephant Christmas gift. 5 tix total, 1 $10,000 winner.
Read the back to see what I had to do to claim the money and the fine print read "This is not a real ticket, winning or otherwise. This is a gag."

:censor:

It was Christmas Eve and all the cells were already jammed...weird night. So I could've probably got by with a slap on the wrist. Instead of murder, I just walked out early when nobody was looking with someone elses gift.















j/k I didn't take anyone's gift. It was all laughed about shorlty after.

I buy scratch-offs when travelling to give the family something to do while we're driving. Largest win ever was $100 on a $5 ticket.

$50 off of a scratch-off ticket

Some good friends of ours won $100,000 off of Powerball a few years back.
I told them while that would be great, it has to still suck to know you were one number away from 36 million
