Hi All!

I was wondering what is the most you've ever won? The most for me was $250 on a scratch off and that was about 25 years ago.

My ex-husband's niece won $5 million dollars in the Texas lottery. That was probably 22 years ago. She was in her twenties and blew through it unfortunately. By the tale end she started trying to produce plays but it was too late, she was broke.

The moral of that story is that people win! That is the only reason I keep trying lol! How about you guys?

Hi Lincity,

A friend of mine about 25 years ago won $5 mill on Ozlotto in Australia. Thing is in them days

there was no financial advice that the lottery office directed you towards or advised.My friend spent

up like no tomorrow. But after about 18 months I spotted him in a pub,and looking concerned.He said that he had spent and gave away half of his money.

I said to him why he had not sought any financial advise.He replied that he thought the money would last forever. So I explained to him it wasn't too late to get things in order with the $2.7 mill he still had left. Cut a long story short,he is now worth well over the initial $5 mill he won.

Every now and then,we get together at Star Casino in Sydney for a lost w/end.His shout of course.

Of course I am playing to win a jackpot, I would be happy with 2 million because the top tax bracket for fed and state would leave one with half of the winnings.

In the past 2 years I have won $2500 five times which is ironic it has been that same amount with different games. One a scratch off, 2x hitting the pick 4 straight, one time mega got 4 out of 6 numbers with the multiplier, and one time 5 out 6 on the state lottery. Also I hit pick 4 box quite a few times playing the same set of numbers and numbers that come to me in dreams.

I have a vision board of what I would I would do with different win amounts: 100K, 250K, 500K, 1M, 10M

I would say due to my winnings I have broke even, but I continue to play a lot because I want to win huge. I think about strategy, but outside of the pick 4 wins, my wins were from quick picks. So I just stay positive, luck minded, and still working at my day job as a nurse practitioner.

Will definitely post when I get the big win. I think the posts on here are great reads and I was an onlooker for years before I officially joined and started posting.

Hi everyone,

I am mostly a scratcher ticket player but my biggest win came from Ca$h 4, an old draw game here in Arizona. I won the jackpot of $10,000 on that game one time.

I won $1000 on a scratcher and several $500 scratcher ticket prizes.

MY uncle won $200,000 on powerball a few years ago. It was before the matrix and prize payouts changed.

The most I have ever won is $800. My brother-in-law is constantly winning. He can go in a store with his last $10 and get a scratch card and win $500..... LOL. me, not so much!! I don't get the scratch cards like that. Most of my winnings are from pick 3 and pick 4.

It Costs NOTHING to be positive and helpful! Give it a try!!

I have been playing the lottery ever since MN joined in about 1988.

When it first started, it was 6 numbers.

I picked my own numbers and use the same numbers.

Once I won $52 and once I won $48

It then changed to picking 5 numbers and a PowerBall. I have never missed a drawing and use my same set of original numbers. I think $16 is the most I have won in the last 26+ years

However,a guy I knew did win $200,000, another guy I knew won $200,000, and another $100,000.

A group won half of a PowerBall and thus each one won $2Million.

I knew most of them personally and it did not change them at all.

All put the money to good use.

I always say "I'm due for a win " also

After 26 years of never missing a drawing and using my same numbers, maybe my numbers are jinxed....ha,ha

Thank You GeneralMac for writing an upbeat story. I hope that your ship will come into port soon.

Biggest hit I had playing P3 was arnd $3k, I've won countless smaller amnts over the years, but I knew a guy name Marc Bristow that use to have his own website & systems that he sold & he was a good friend, he would literally win hundreds & hundreds of thousands a month if not more playing Pick 3 he was that good.

He sold some great systems with a lot of info on how to play Pick 3 & Pick 4 lotterys, best I've ever seen.

He passed away Aug 2015, I miss him as he & I use to talk via email multiple times a day almost everyday, he was a great teacher!

P.S. One of Marc's students won jst under a million dollars on a Pick 4 straight hit once.
