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.

Yup, mine was ignored too.
That's a sweet little car.

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 :biggrin:
The adventure continues...

No good story ever started with; "So i stayed home."

A nice little win.

Congrats Sobrohusfat. Nice pocket change. :smt045
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

$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 :biggrin:

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. :smt045

can I borrow some of the leftovers?
Always better to say you don't have money, then no one tries to hit you up for a loan.
