Probably zero.
I used to buy a very few tickets at the beginning when the lottery was a novelty, but I can’t remember having bought a ticket in the last 25 years.
We used to buy them in Florida sometimes but I don’t remember collecting anything.

Many moons ago, I won $50 off a $5 scratch off.
I've won like $3 a few times on Louisiana Lotto.

About years ago I hit around 3500 on the Louisiana lottery. The one number that I didn’t hit was 14 and the winner was 15. I was one digit from over 400,000 dollars.

there was an article a few years back written by some ivy league/MIT grad students who had a method and if they weren't lying they got a good payout. They would buy scratch offs only. Would spent $10-20k on tickets (only a fresh stack or roll) but would make their money back plus profit each time.

I have a rich friend who bought $10K of scratch offs and won $40k in the florida lottery.

so maybe there is truth to really buying alot of tickets and it will pay off

I just cant take that kind of cash and throw it at hope.

I tend to spend $100 when I go to a state with the lottery. Ill win $20-50...I dont think this is a plan for getting rich.

Never bought a lottery ticket, but back in college my freshman year, 1995, my roommate won $250 for a scratch off ticket at a gas station and he lost his fricking mind. It was pretty awesome… I was right there when it happened. It might as well have been $1 million to him.

$300 on scratch off. My uncle handed out 5 $1 tickets to us kids one Christmas.

$1,300 on 5 of 6 numbers in Ohio lottery about 30 years ago.
The 6th number drawn was 37, I had 34. Draw was for $12 million.

$100 on a scratch when I was 10 years old. Felt like I won a thousand at the time.

My mom won 500 scratch-offs on the radio once. We scratched them all and the net was almost exactly $250.

No big winners for us.

$100. It had a prize logo in every box. For a brief moment I thought I won the jackpot, like 50 grand, but nope. $100.

Me zero dollars.

My brother hit $100k on an Arkansas Scholarship Lotto $20 scratch off.

He got ~65k after the thieves took their cut.
