I won the lotto :D

Post by CDN_Merlin »

Yep, that's right. Went to the grocery store to buy some food, and decided to check my ticket.

heard the familiar sound of winning and asked her how much. She told me $143. I said "no way". Then she showed me the ticket.

Most I've won ever. And I only spent $2 to start with.

Congrats

The real question though, is if you have played the lotto more then 71 times in your life.

Actually, I've played it only about 20 times. I hardly ever buy lotto tickets myself.

I'm in a pool at work and have payed maybe 12$ at most since we started. Have on free tickets n stuff.

Funny thing is about this winning ticket is I had bought a ticket (quick pick) and on that ticket won a free ticket which is the one that won me $143

i've spent 6 bucks on lotto myself. i worked at a gas station and was bored, so i bought 3 $2 tickets. i won 2 bucks on one and figured -4 was enough for a lifetime. would be sweet to win a huge sum though, but i'm not willing to spend on those odds like some people do.

there would be people who would come into the station and buy $50 in tickets, go sit at the coffee area and scratch em, then give me the winners and they would repeat this until we were damn near dry. sometimes for hours at a time. i wish i could piss away money like that :D

I'm with you Kurupt. There's something about gambling that gives me a bad feeling in the pit of my stomach. I think I've lost about $2 on slots on a casion boat in FL. But after that I couldn't do it anymore.

I guess that's one vice I don't have to worry about.

I buy a $5 "Lucky Dip" every week and consider it my $5 weekly dontaion to charity.

I've won quite a bit too: in 2002 I hit the $600+ combo three times in a month. :)

Didn't win 3 Million this week though...

Maybe next week! :D

If "wow" were really all you could say, how can you say "that's all I can say"?

So the canadian jackpot is only $149 ? You said you won the lotto and that pales in comparison to the jackpots of others ;p

Just because I said I won the lotto doesn't mean I won the entire lotto.

The jackpot which I didn't win was over 10 million, I think.

Try playin the Lotto in Cali... odds are most especially against you.

Somethin like 1 in 141,100,000 for jackpot
90% of the time I play I loose my 2-5 bux... the other 10% I get a dollar back. game sucks :p

*edit*
Aside from the fact that only the old fuckers or barely legals (immigrants) ever win the jackpot I think it's rigged somehow.
