Scratch Off Tickets!

Has anyone ever one 500.00 on one of these before? I HAVE! Hit one the other day! It was a $5.00 scratch off and BOOM! I hit it. Couldn't believe it. I must have spent 200 bucks that month on tickets. Finally paid off. WOOT! WOOT!

I'll admit i have a addiction with these things but at least they arn't as bad as buying powerball tickets and having like a 1% chance on making your money back.

ill spend 20$ on scratchers every now and then and mabe after 60$ ill win 50$ or 5$ back every 3-4 tickets so i mean its not like im losing everytime, they do pretty good on Return on investment. I'm just waiting to win that 1,000$ just to give me a nice little boost and extra spending money for my online sites.

I love the scratch offs too. I keep trying - the other day the local news in Pa. reported that a woman finished shopping, bought a scratch off - she
went out of the store after reporting that she won ONE MILLION!!!

Oh my gosh I just bought my first 10.00 scratch ticket 2 days ago...I will drop 10.00 on a large lottery but I was nervous buying a 10.00 scratchie!! I bought one for my sis too...I won a push (or 10.00) but my sis didnt win anything...you would think with that high of a purchase price you would at least get a push each time!

The most I have one is a dollar, and when I win that I buy another. Then the second highest win I have gotten is a free ticket

I know somebody who has won maybe $20, but I don't remember exactly how much.

I used to buy one every time I went to the grocery store. But they bare negative expected value to be sure. You might get lucky every once in a while, but in the long run, you lose out. I don't buy them anymore.

Never won, never bought one. Great job to everyone who has won, but to be honest the chances of winning are so slim, but you keep thinking "This is the time!" and nothing... It would be awesome to win, but you end up spending the money that you win trying to win!

I've bought quite a few back in the college days. But unfortunately it was not my destiny to win. I must have blown like at least $50 on these things throughout the course of going to the grocery store back in college.

I hate those things! I hardly ever win. And when I do it is just for an other free ticket so I can lose again. My dad has won a couple hundred throughout the years but never anything larger.
