$4 million

[gwilson31]

A woman that I know (she lives in the same town as me) just won $4 million on a scratch ticket.  A few months ago someone around here won $1 million on a scratch ticket and they were on My Lottery Dream House.

WOW!  That's great!  I didn't know you could win that amount of money on a scratch off ticket.  What state was that?

Mass.  and it was a $10 ticket.

Wow, that's awesome. I normally don't buy scratch off tickets but I might have to start buying one every once in a while!

That is good. I enjoy watching that show my lottery dream house.

That is great, first time I heard of winning that amount on a scratch off! I know I would be a very happy camper, pay the taxes and still come out a winner

There have been a couple of big winners in my town.  Not in a long time.  There was one that was a million dollar winner a while back but it was never claimed.  I think it was on the power ball.  It was sold at a gas station I trade at.  We figured it was someone passing thru from out of town and they never even checked the ticket.  Why buy them if you are not going to check your numbers.

There have been 2 that were 250,000 winners and I think 2 million dollar winners.  Then several smaller amounts but significant enough to really help a person out.

I noticed in my county/state, there were rarely any winners on instants. It seemed like they had "favorite" counties and that's where all the winners were all the time. Then a couple months ago, there were 5 big winners on the instants plus various lotteries. Then the next county by us had the same deal happen. I think the lottery companies dole out the winning tickets to specific counties. Now the winners have dried up here and are in their "favorite" counties again.

I gave up playing about 15 years ago. Now my 3 digit has been coming up regularly and I always have 2-3 numbers on the larger pools like Power Ball and Mega Millions. My husband plays a 3 digit every so often when he thinks it will be coming up but it never does until after he gives up playing it.

They do know what roll the winning tickets are on.  Kind of like when some company, like a local car company, that has promotions and everyone who comes in get a lotto ticket.  They know before they start that there are no winners over a couple of dollars on the roll of tickets.

niiiiice. it would be great, but my luck isn't that great.

I think you need to go to that store and buy a couple of tickets.
