3. I rarely play, but about 15 years ago |
|
I worked in a convenience store, I played my 4 digit employee number on patday and it came up straight. I think I won about 85.00. Haven't played the daily numbers since. Sometimes I'll still buy Lotto tickets if the jacpot goes really high.

5. 1500 a couple of years ago |
|
$250 once. Fifty bucks a couple of times. I don't play regularly - every now and then when I think of it, I grab a couple of tickets. It's too easy to get addicted.
My sister used to play weekly. She started with one regular number then worked up to about 20. And of course, she couldn't bear to leave any of them out because what if that was the week that number came up? She was spending about a hundred bucks a week on lottery tickets (because she'd add quick picks and it was twice a week). Crazy. And I don't think she ever won anything more than 10 bucks or so.

8. I won $100 once in the late 80s |
|
I matched four numbers in the old Michigan Lotto, before Engler messed with it.
I've won scratch-off tickets of $5 a couple of times.

I won an $1000 gift certificate at a now defunct sweepstakes site (which was sold for cash and used for a much needed move), but never more than $10 on the lottery. x(
My mum won $4500 in the early 80's, and my partner won $2500 8 years ago (before I knew him).
My sister also won a minivan on a scratch ticket a number of years ago. It was brilliant timing, as her car had given out and she had recently separated from her husband, and had 3 small kids.
I doubt I'll ever get a big win...mostly because I don't buy the suckers as I never win more than $10!!!!

11. I won $300 on a scratch off once |
|
That was the most I ever won.
My parents won like $1000 on a Lotto ticket.
I play scratch offs once in a while and if Powerball really gets up there then I but 1 ticket but that's about it.
