I suspect most states have similar games, but does anyone know how these prizes mentioned above are paid out? Do you actually get a check every week or every month or once a year? Can you take as a lump sum?

I've only been getting one or two $30 tickets when time permits. It's been very busy this month given my work, to the point where I haven't even kept track of PB/MM, much less scratch offs.. This was the first $30 I brought for September and I apparently picked the right ticket! I ro...

I’ve seen others post their close calls - here’s mine from almost 9 years ago. Picked up a ‘quick pick’ $2 Bonus Match 5 while in Maryland. As you can see on the top row I had 02-08-13-17-28 and the numbers were same except I had 17 and number was 18. Would have been $50,000. As it was I still g...

Went to visit family in PA last week and came home with an extra $495. Spent $5 on two tickets, one with the multiplier and one without. Needless to say, as soon as I checked it I went over the border to cash in

I play a bunch of numbers in the pick 4 every so often and somehow left one number out today. It came in straight. It wouldn’t be so bad if it hit and I didn’t play at all, but just leaving it out somehow and thinking I had it for $5k until I realized I didn’t was a real punch in the gut. I need ...

I’ve been buying a combo promotion for a few months. It is 6 various games for $5. Finally hit on the Pick3 game it prints! (Corgi is a free bonus for you)

I’ve been buying 5-10 dollar scratch tickets once a day for about three weeks now and lost on them all. Has anyone else experienced this? I’m in MA.

Bought several tickets from an automated machine. Didn’t notice one ticket had this on it until I got home. Would it be a valid ticket if it won?

Wife wanted to buy a roll today. $300 for $1 Jumbo bucks. Broke them up into 5 stacks Stack 1 000-059 won $95 Stack 2 060-119 won $45 Stack 3 120-179 won $39 Stack 4 180-239 won $25 Stack 5 240-299 won $14 Total win $218. Net -$82 But we had a lot of fun!

Last night in the $500 mil PB drawing, I bought 8 tickets, and 7 of my tickets had NONE of the winning numbers and the other ticket had only one matching number. Has anyone done the math calculations in Powerball and Mega Millions for what are the odds of getting NONE of the winning numbers in a...

So my 18th birthdays Thursday and in Arizona you have to be 21 to buy tickets according to google but am I able to drive over into California and buy a ticket with my Arizona ID

​ After a looooong dry spell.

Before we check our ticket, we discuss what we will do if it's a massive winner, in 5 minutes, an hour, tomorrow, next week, next month. It gives me a few more minutes of fun for each one, (we don't buy very often, and only one). Because they aren't fun as soon as you see they're ...

Spent, $50. Won $170. Won $10 on Seven figures and Game of life $50 on the 100x $100 (win all) on 250k life. All tickets from the same store

I have been having a long dry spell for quite some time now, not even a single dollar won. When I saw first cash symbol, I was so happy that I atleast won $5. This came as a surprise. Been really unlucky lately.

Started from 13 and went to 9 without any win whatsoever. Ticket 8 comes and it's a break-even. Very disappointed that there was zero win after all of that brutality.

100x $5 on a ticket. Starting to think 500 is just my lucky number. This is the 5th 500$ ive hit in the past 4 weeks lol

Do you prefer to scratch the ticket or scan the barcode to see if you won/lost. I've seen people scratch the barcode and scan to see if it's a winner. They rather know now instead of scratching to see if it's a winner.

Tried for the first time, didn't know the rules. Brought two $500 lottery tickets for $10. Scratched one match one of the numbers and got a "bag" both for $5 a piece. So paid $10 then won $10. Don't know how to feel about that.

Hello again...if you don’t know, I had a post here yesterday, about how it was first time with the lottery. After seeing the comments I decided to not go again...but then I got frustrated, and decided to go out a buy two tickets. On the first one, got the "bag" for another lottery tick...

This happened in queens NY. I go to my regular lotto store today to buy some scratchoffs. $30/$10 ticket. I put the money inside and got two ripped in half tickets with no barcode. The ticket was just 25% of the middle top. Normally i’d just redeem the barcode when this happens but this time, I j...

Bought three tickets. 2 of them were duds. This here is my biggest ever win on a scratch ticket so far!

I hit on all of these in a 7 day span!! And there was a 30 dollar ticket I hit $50 and another 10 dollar $25, $50 or $250 ticket I won $50 on that I forgot to take pics of lol. And there were 5 different 5 dollar tickets I hit for $20 on also lol

So last week I decided to buy Powerball tickets, honestly my first time ever buying one since I personally feel my luck would not be generous with me and I had a couple bills to use. I ended up winning $12 but I never went to cash it in, so even with research I couldn’t find a concrete answer: c...

NC $30 200X The Cash. I was aiming for one of the two 5 million prizes left, but this isn’t too bad either…
