re: Do you have a lottery story?

I went to go buy a lottery ticket like a year or two ago(never bought one) and didnt know you couldn’t use a debit card. I looked like a dumbass

No. Wish i did.

I would have a regular weekly escort that entertained me.

First time I ever bought a lottery ticket was in the early 90’s, before Louisiana had a lottery

On the drive to Disney World, I bought like $5 worth of tickets, (quick picks), at a gas station just across the Florida border off of I-10. Was one of those, “hell, why not” moments.

Well a few weeks after we got back home, my girlfriend asked if I ever checked to see if I won anything with those tickets.

So I called the phone number on the back of the ticket to get the winning numbers, (pre Internet time), and ended up matching 4 of the 6 numbers. The two numbers I didn’t match, they both were off by just one number, (like the remaining two numbers were like 35 - 42 and I had 36-43)

Think the jackpot was around $10 million at the time, so in my eyes, my quick picks just missed

Forgot exactly how much I won but it was around $400.

Haven’t won shite since.

I’ll occasionally buy a quick pick when the jackpots get over $200 million. Every now and then will win maybe $5 or $10. But I have certainly given them more than they have given me.

My mom won 500 scratch-offs in a radio contest in the 90's.

We scratched them all off and they were about 50% winners almost to the dollar.

That should tell you about what your odds are of winning on a scratch off.

I won the lottery once!!!


I was swimming with millions of other swimmers, and I made it to the finish first. I buried my head in the sand I was so exhausted, my tail fell off, and the rest is history.

I'm sure there's a joke here about lots of winners in your mom's vag, right?

Too stupid to even have that much money.

Most lottery winners are stupid.

Since there is a generous period of time to claim the prize, why do the winners never establish residency in an income tax free state before claiming the money? That alone could be worth $millions extra in their pockets.

Why do they not also "live" on a boat/yacht and avoid property taxes with their winnings? Again, easy way to keep money in their pockets by avoiding taxation.

Some simple things to do that make substantial financial sense that stupid people never think of.

It was $200k

Guy in Denham played the same lotto numbers every week. Lotto was around a million. He gave the clerk at murphy oil the slip to run. She ran the slip and sat the slip on the counter. Another employee picked up the slip and ran it again. So now there was two tickets with the same number. They got into a argument and gave the guy a chance to buy both tickets. He got mad and left with one ticket. They sold the other ticket to the next person. Conclusion. The numbers hit the jackpot and instead of the guy getting the whole million, he had to split it with the other ticket. Last I heard he was trying to sue Murphy Oil. This was probably 6-7 years ago

I play cash 5 for $25,000 and lotto America for 2 million daily. Only costs 2 bucks.

I have hit $500 twice. One number awqy from $25k

But on March 9, 2018

My numbers - 1,3,6,24,34
They numbers. 1,4,7,24,34

Yes one time I bought two lotto tickets and went into the store to buy a six pack and remembered I'd bought them so I grabbed a winning ticket printout and matched five of six numbers only to realize minutes later it was from the week before...... Got all excited over nothing
