I won on GA Jumbo Classic in '97 for $500.00 then drove down the street and bought several more Jumbo's and won $182.00, $682.00 for the day. I needed it too because my paycheck that day was awful. I haven't won on scratch-offs for that amount but have known other people to win for $500.00.

I agree with Todd, very interesting looking site you have! Looks like you have a pretty nice size collection from all over the world. There are so many neat looking (and fun) scratch-off tickets out here.BlueDot

Hi BlueDot, I started in 1998 I was reading one of the message boards on AOL and there was a guy looking for traders, so i said let me see how other tickets look. now I have about 30,000 from US, canada, Aus, Italy, China and a few other countrys. there are so many fun tickets out like Elvis mark martin betty boop lucy and others out there there was a rocky V ticket from OH that came out in 1991. we have a website WWW.LOTTERYCOLLECTORS.COM most of my tickets came from collectors and from begging...

I will say this: if you come to NY, _don't_ play any scratch game with a top prize over $500,000. All such games are ANNUITY-ONLY. Among them is a game with a top prize of $777,777 which is paid in 10 annual installments with NO cash option; (a TV commercial for it is playing as I'm typing this) if you do the math on the back of the ticket, 77,777x10=777,770 which apparently means the NY Lottery gyps you out of seven dollars in addition to not letting you collect the cash value in lump sum....

I suppose. Instant games are for those sudden itches to gamble. All the draw games like pick 3 and 4 are fun because they do have better odds of winning a sizable prize . But i did win $100 once on an instant ticket. That was fun! haha Brad

Maybe because serious lottery players like to pick numbers, which AFAIK you can't do on scratch games.

Instant games are fun! Why doens't anyone post in this forum? Michigan's $2,000,000 Celebration ($20 ticket) is giving their $2,000,000 prize is being given away on the 31st of this month. All $1,000 winners are eligible for this prize but you must claim by the 23rd to be in the drawing. Maybe I will go and by one. There is still over 700 $1,000 prizes out there. Brad
