Feels Good To Win

(not a million dollar story)

Using the last expendable income I had to my name I bought a Lotto Max ticket on the 4th. The second I walked out I knew I was going to regret it when I ran out of smokes.

Fast forward to about 10 minutes ago. I walk into the corner store with my ticket I've already deemed useless. I didn't bother checking it. It goes into the machine and does its little jingle of happiness and says "Winner! Gagnant!". I'm thinking I broke even and asked what the pay out was. $147. The highest I've ever won on a lottery ticket ever. Granted I've bought only maybe 15 in my life. I walked out with $126 and two packs of addiction.

Whats the most you've won on a lottery ticket SE?

    my brother won 1,000 on a scratch ticket once

    like ten years ago my grandparents won 50k on one, but they probably spent way more than that, lifetime, on tickets.

    Recently I played a scratch off lotto ticket that won six times

    $2, $2, $2, $2, $1, $1

    Before that, the most money I won was $110 for 1st 2nd and 3rd place in an essay contest where I wrote about diversity

    I wasn't going to win if anyone else entered, but nobody did.

    e: actually the most money I won was $150 on picking Syracuse to win the national championship that one year, I forgot that.

    Sometimes I get scratch tickets. If I win any less than $10 it goes right back into more scratch tickets. One time I got on a roll of about five or six tickets in a row like this before I finally won $10 and went "I'm cashing out now because I've got things to do today."

    One time my friend got really drunk at the casino but still managed to win over $400 on blackjack. One of my other friends had to physically drag him off the table at that point because he would have stayed there all night and ended up like $1000 in the hole.

    it's not that bad

    it's basically me writing a letter saying he's a good kid and etc etc

    and then he'll be allowed to stay

    and then he'll fuck up again

    and then he'll be deported

    and then he won't be anyone's problem but his own


    this is the literal definition of last chances

    $50 into roulette machine, walked away with $250

    yay


    a friend i was with did even better by another hundred or two and we were trying to get him to leave the table and then the dealer came along and started telling him to leave as well
