NC education lotto scratch-offs

[The Other Colbert]

Anyone ever actually won a substantial amount of money?

I personally rarely ever buy them and have never won anything until today, which was $5 (the value of the card). I'm sure that's pretty common just to get you to buy a new one.

Anyone have any great stories?

[Jase]

I do know that you have to be careful which ones to buy, the older games often don't have any winning cards left in circulation and they're being sold anyway.

I might play the lottery only once or twice a year, mostly because my wife loves it.

[Jbro]

A guy I used to work with won 100k once, 50k once 25k 3x and 10k 5 times... He moved her in 08 and plays $150 a week. Last I talked to him he was bitching because he had not won anything over 1k in 6 months.

If you play tickets under $10 you are wasting your time.

I fugging hate it when I am standing in line at the gas station to buy drinks or something and some low-life with 3 kids that they can't provide for is buying lottery tickets.

Every time that I have ever seen someone win $5 or whatever, they always cash that back in for another ticket.

[Niner National]

I've won $5 once and $1-2 dollars a few times. I never buy anything except the $1 tickets and that's only because they have those lottery vending machines now and you can't buy anything else with a dollar anyway.

1 million

[Doyle]

I played for a couple of months after it first started. The most I won was $25. It didn't take me long to figure out that those scratch offs are a total money pit.

I won $70 on $9 worth of tickets abut a year ago. I still get them from the vending machine every once in a great while. If I wasn't spending money on a scratch off lottery ticket, I'd be spending more on some ho! :p

Take her to Red Rocks, listen to her talk about what a poo her ex was, then at the end of the date MAYBE get a G'night kiss. I get more satisfaction on buying lottery tickets. Or a bag of dirt that I stand a good chance of getting some gold out of it!

[Hugor Hill]

I won $25 off of one earlier this summer. since then I hadn't even thought about buying another.
