I've won $2,000 a few times. And $60 a bunch of times. Seems like I'm stuck on those numbers, which is kinda weird.

I suppose that matching the numbers does make people understandably hesitant to mention it. It might sound like boasting when the whole thing may have been the result of a lucky quick-pick. It might also be that they don't mention it becau... [ More ]

yeah there always very thin lines between honesty and dishonesty and sometimes the lines can become blurred if the choice presents itself.......

I am watching tv in Washington right now, a man found a bag of money TODAY outside a convenient store. It had THOUSANDS of dollars in it.It happens. When I lived in Grants there was an incident of someone finding a suitcase full of money abandoned beside the highway. They naturally put it in the trunk and went to visit some friends, told them about it, wondering whether someone ugly watched from the bushes when they picked it up and was going to chase them down to get the money back.They got b...

BREAKING NEWS!!!!!! I am watching tv in Washington right now, a man found a bag of money TODAY outside a convenient store. It had THOUSANDS of dollars in it.I do not know all the details, I know somewhat about the people who lost it. Something about the money was lost while they were doing a paper route or something. The money was suppose to go to the unfortunate in Venezuela. The man returned it.

the most I ever won on the state lottery was $1000.00; I won $500.00 on Lotto and the daily game a couple of times but I still feel like a beginner. I've one some very small prizes on the sweepstakes..the most probably worth under $30.00.I just never give up...hope runs eternal! Good luck and I think you have a great idea

Yeah, I'd like to see a Winners' Circle forum. Even small wins, such as a free ticket or $5, could be posted there. If for nothing else, people can show what kind of progress they are making with their lottery wheels, number schemes, etc. and get congratulatory responses from other posters.Just my opinion...

We've had some posts from people who have won $100,000+, $45,000+ and etc. any many from people who have won smaller amounts amounts, like less than $1,000. You just have to keep your eye out for them. Good luck, if you win let all of us know.

What kind of information would you want them to share about their big winnings, the amount and where they could be reach if someone wanted a share of it? Or would you just like to read about their new friends, their new big cars, their new big house or just how they are spending it all

You also have to remember that alot of people who did win a significant amount of money playing the lottery do not want everyone to know that. Even though we use psuedonyms and no one knows your exact location, people might not feel secure in telling the whole world that i won x amount of dollars.

The fact is there just aren't that many people who have won substantial amounts of money playing the lottery. You could maybe fill half a stadium with 'em. The lottery exists to raise funds for the government, not to create wealth for citizens. I have to remind myself of this so I don't waste so much money on lottery tickets! I can spend it on coffee instead.

any big winners? anywhere?

captbacardi — Thu, 14 Apr 2005 16:12:30 GMT

how come with all of the people who inhabit this site, you dont have a section for people to talk about their big winnings? has anyone here even won big? and by big, i dont necessarily mean jackpot on the mega millions or anything, but what about scratch off games or anything else? i would think that people talking about how much they won would inspire others to get out and play, eh
