My husband and I hit the daily lottery number for $20,000 in 1999. After Uncle Sam took his cut, I think we got just under 14 grand.

My stepson and his wife hit for $20,000 on a scratch ticket about 10 years ago.

My cousin, her husband's parents hit Megabucks for just over two million about 20 year's ago. After taxes, every October they get a check for $83,000.

A former co-worker's mother hit for a million on a $5 scratch ticket. After taxes, she gets about 35 grand a year.

My father in law won 100,000 dollars in lotto and basically pissed it all away on crap. :mad:

A close friend of my Uncles won $650,000 after deductions, moved back home to Romania and retired extremely comfortably at 58 years old.

Nothing in the thousands. The most I won was $200 on a $2 scratch off. I was happy, I went to the mall and bought clothes. :D

I won a big Five bucks on a scratch off card. My sister-in-law has won several times, the biggest amount she won was One Hundred dollars. I hardly ever play any more.

I keep winning $1 off the $1 scratch tickets. So once in a while, I pretty much get my money back from my ticket but that's about it. I'm not as lucky as the rest of you I guess.

I won $330 twice on a 3-way number. I put a buck down and it came out straight. If it had been a 4-way number and I put a buck down and it came out straight, that would have been $5,000.
