Re: Ever won a lottery?
Congrats to the winner. Neither of my tickets paid off.

I hope the prize is a solid and reliable build.
Something worthy of Family Heirloom status.
Enjoy.

Re: Ever won a lottery?
scratched the game box where you need 3 identicals to win ... nothing matched = $0
scratched the little bonus box at the bottom of ticket ... $1000
So stoked to get home and tell my girlfriend about it that i forgot all about needing to fill-up - and ran out of gas on the highway.
coasted to the side ... directly accross from gas station.
That was a lucky day.
...and a fun night

Sufficiently advanced incompetence is indistinguishable from malice. There’s a certain point at which ignorance becomes malice, at which there is simply no way to become THAT ignorant except deliberately and maliciously.

Yes, and that was early 90s when $1000 could still buy you more than a tank of gas and a pack of smokes. lol

Re: Ever won a lottery?
$2400 with 5 matching numbers about 15 years ago.
Still purchasing lotto max as that was the only way I could purchase a helicopter. But now I figure I'd have issues seeing the dash and instruments so maybe a boat : https://boats.waa2.com/detail?id=803a54 ... 0tugs%2042
Currently not for sale, difficult to find right now, but I'd worry about that when I win

Won the biggest lottery 50 years ago, the day I met the favorite wife.
We're lost but we're making good time.

Re: Ever won a lottery?
25 years ago on one $5.00 ticket I won a prize valued at $4300.00.
I promptly sold it for $4000.00 and purchased something more
to my flavour for $2600.00 and then appointed it to my liking.
A nice pocket full of change left over.
The only reason I bought the ticket ? The lady selling tickets was
mighty pleasing to the eye.

Always better to say you don't have money, then no one tries to hit you up for a loan.
