Lottery = A tax on people who are bad at math.

Having said that, my largest win is $40. I don't buy my own tickets, but get them all the time for b-day, Christmas, etc. I NEVER win. There's actually a ticket I get a lot because there's a running joke that I never win. I mean never. I must have been given this specific ticket at least 40-50 times. I have never won anything above $5 (the price of the ticket)... I don't know if you guys know the ticket or not, but it is called New York Poker. It is the bane of my existence...

$100

About 15 years ago I was on a ferry to Victoria and I dropped $25 which bought all the tickets in the display case minus 3. A fucking women bought the last 3 and won $10,000. Fuck me!!!!!! True story, no shit.

I won a free ticket once

Although my old man's best friend won the super lotto for 7 Million.
True story, his wife left him 6 months later and took half

My sister's friend bought one 30 dollar scratch-off in Westchester NY at a gas station and won 50 thousand...guy before her spent 700 dollars on the same roll...she walked in and bought the winning ticket...after taxes she netted about 32 thousand and will get some back at tax time...she also went on the casino with some of that money and hit 8 thousand and another 5 thousand all in a matter of weeks...

$1600.00 3 day bender, dropped $250.00 on lunch for two at overpriced steakhouse first thing, bought a shitload of **** and it went downhill from there.

Good times!
