Today's question is from @Sally PB:

Have you ever won the lottery (in any amount)?

Yeah, I vaguely remember winning a couple of bucks.

What kind of bucks? Deer? Rabbit?

 

[notabitail]

If the raffle at church counts I think around $25 or $40.

 

[Sally PB]

The very few times I've bought a ticket... nope.

I’ve won a few scratch offs…..nothing over $10

Yep, on scratch offs. We'd always get them in our Christmas stockings. I've never won more than 50 dollars from one ticket - usually I'd only win a couple bucks. A family friend won a few million in the Texas lottery one year. He went bankrupt within a few years of it happening. I hear that happens to lottery winners fairly regularly. My measly 50 dollars was apparently not enough to send me spiralling into excess and eventual ruin.

 

[sourland]

Yes, I did in conjunction with a fellow work associate. Not enough to make me rich, but enough that I retired early.

 

[Shabby Chic-Hens]

My dad sometimes buys tickets, but we have extremely poor luck.

 

[Addicted To Chickens]

I once won $1...

some small-dollar scratchers. Nothing over 25 bucks. MIL puts them in everyone's stockings every year.
