Guest skeeter99 Posted February 22, 2009 Report Share Posted February 22, 2009 (edited) yeah I won $118,000 last remberance day 2007 november 11 in a group at work here are a few tips for guys who play in a group 1. dont play in a group 2. have group play form filled out ahead of time 3. have 3 peices of photo id from each person in your group 4. if your group has more than 13 members there will be a issue with names on the cheque 5. because your group is more than 13 people there are names not on the check a BANK WILL NOT CASH IT!!!!! well they will it took 17 banks until finally a scotia decided to cash it, cause all the names were not on the cheque 6. bring food water etc. to the lottery office you are going to be there all day 7. know where you bought your ticket (they ask a million questions over and over to see if your story will change) 8. once again dont play in groups it is a pain in the ass!!! as you can tell my group had a very bad experience winning what the OLG called and insignificant amount of money they actually treat you like criminals here is a link to our pic not everyone that won can dowtown http://i542.photobucket.com/albums/gg427/T...01/IMG_8230.jpg Edited February 22, 2009 by skeeter99 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bernie Posted February 22, 2009 Report Share Posted February 22, 2009 Not really a lottery but it was even better. I inherited a cottage from my grandmother. As far as tickets go most I ever won was $85 on 649. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OhioFisherman Posted February 22, 2009 Report Share Posted February 22, 2009 Depends on your view, 5 years of playing in a pool at work 3, 4, 5, times of hitting 80-90 bucks, enough to cover the next weeks entry money for the people involved. 5 years of chasing my wife off and on until she trapped me, still a big winner there. Managed to work long enough to get my retirement before I got too sick to work, so that was like a jackpot. Better to be happy than rich? At least content? Now if I could hit the health lottery, a few years in a boat to make up for lost time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnF Posted February 22, 2009 Report Share Posted February 22, 2009 I won a turkey raffle once. I was too young to eat solid food but my folks assured me in later years that the bird was great eating. JF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beans Posted February 22, 2009 Report Share Posted February 22, 2009 Gave up buying tickets after many years of doing so...$32 a month went to paying for the second telephone I needed for the computer when we moved up here...(dial-up) The closest I ever got to hitting the jackpot was when I spent the day fishing with Lew on his lake...Knowing I wasn't a musky fisherman he took me to a couple of bass spots where I got lucky...

Zubris21 Posted February 22, 2009 Report Share Posted February 22, 2009 I've hit the big prize on nevada tickets a few times, I think the biggest was $250, but I don't really buy them often and never more than $2-3 worth at a time. Guess I've been kinda lucky with those. A fellow that my father worked with won a big amount a number of years ago. I can't remember the exact figure but I think it was in the 2 mil range.

jace Posted February 22, 2009 Report Share Posted February 22, 2009 as you can tell my group had a very bad experience winning what the OLG called and insignificant amount of money they actually treat you like criminals that's a pretty good win. I recently heard about a bit of a problem with a work group ticket on a US lottery. i think it was about 15 people who won a lottery over $200M and they were trying to cut out 4 people from the win because they weren't there the day that particular ticket was bought but they are normally part of it. I think the 4 left out were taking legal action on the grounds that some of the small winnings from previous tickets carried over to buy the new tickets. I wonder how that turned out.

pike slayer Posted February 22, 2009 Report Share Posted February 22, 2009 my buddys mom won some like 5-6mill about 15years ago. she was actually smart with her money and probably has more now then what she won through canadian savings bonds and such. they have a nice big house with a swimming pool inside and 3 brand new cars in the drive living comfortly. her hushand quit his day job and drove a handicap bus for years for something to do and to help others until he had a heart attack and died in his bus last fall. they are some great ppl and i dont see how others that win blow it all and fast.

I suppose you've learned from them Bubba. If I want to help someone, I'll bring them what they could use and there won't be 98% taken off the top. And, I do it every day.

Bernie Posted February 22, 2009 Report Share Posted February 22, 2009 Exactly Roy. I have known people that work for the lottery Corp and they seem to be doing well for themselves. One of the reasons I like working for local organizations that don't go through lots of "people" to benefit local charities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grt1 Posted February 22, 2009 Report Share Posted February 22, 2009 this january I bought 2 $5 tickets on the mega ball $150 million lottery when I was in florida, I had the mega ball number on both tickets, but because I played the power plan (or something like that) which doubles your payout, I think the payout was $12, so I told my friends that live in florida to keep the tickets and buy some doggie treats for their dogs.
