I live in Iowa and we have a game called lucky for life it is offered in other states as well but for those of you who don’t know top prize is $1,000 a day for life anyways I go to my local Walmart to buy a powerball and a lucky for life, I enter 8,10,17,23,33 off the rip the default number selec...

Okay, say you won Match 5 or Jackpot for Powerball or Mega Million. You don't need to tell anyone and it's a good thing if you don't, but would you still be here on this subreddit after you won?

For the second Friday in a row I got the blowout symbol! 500 bucks. This is definitely my favorite ticket.

It's wild how much the Powerball is now! What do you daydream of doing with your winnings if you won?

As you probably know the Powerball jackpot (tomorrow) is at $1.8 billion. Upfront cash prize is $826 million. There are 292.2 million combinations. If you bought every combination it would cost you $584.4 million. You can guarantee yourself a profit (assuming no one else picks the winning numb...

I performed this query a few hours into September 5th, 2025. If this indeed happens, that will be weird and messed up. It's AI so.. also, thankfully Powerball and mega are still ball drawn games, if this was a computerized random number generator drawing game, I'd be even more concerned

In my city, I’m a well-known degenerate gambler on the lottery. I also run the pools for the lottery pools at work. The store owners love it when I go there because they know that I’m gonna spend a lot of money on lottery even though they make a small amount of profit, it brings them a lot of ca...

Forget paying off debt or investing. I'm talking pure, unadulterated, "I'm a billionaire now" chaos. A solid gold toilet? A personal blimp? A theme park dedicated to your cat? Let's hear it. https://preview.redd.it/f3qvy72rbinf1.png?width=1280&format=png&auto=webp&a...

She's in front of me and asks for 2 Powerballs on two seperate tickets, no big deal. I step up and ask for one. She then goes "Oh he's going to win it now." I'm just politely smile and say "I hope!". She then says to another person who was behind me as I leave, &qu...

I never win this big and my trip to Baltimore this weekend was already wonderful but this was a nice little send off small but grateful

I dont play the lottery so I'm not sure but I told my mom it doesn't look like a winning ticket from what I see. I told her he's drunk so he probably thinks he won something

$200 on a $5 ticket ill take it! Powerball is at 850 million grab your tickets! Florida lotto at 28 million as well! Good luck everyone!

Your boy is down bad. Bought all these and no winners. Bought 3 tickets for a friend’s kids birthday present in a card this weekend and the dude hit 2 out of 3, it was two $3 tickets and a $1 ticket. He hit $17. What am I doing wrong?!

Randomly decided to get these today and I won something for the first time lol. It’s small but it’s still something!

Bought last 6 tickets. Hit 1 for $50 and another one for $15. Really like this ticket and the $3 bonus crosswords. Anybody like to play $3 also?

When my delusions about winning get bad enough I’ll sometimes read stories about past winners of all different amounts and I’ve noticed something interesting about most of them 90% of the time the people who win don’t want it or need it. You never read a winners story about the person who was ea...

Just the wins I’ve won playing Fantasy 5!Match 4 Edition! I also create my own tickets I don’t use Quick Pick tickets unless the jackpot reaches a certain amount.

I had to go to a few different places to find somewhere to cash it. I'm still kind of new to scratchers, so I didn't know the grocery store was the best place to go for redemption (that's what the guy at the gas station told me).

Jackpock ET, is a HUGE scammer company. Had to contact the BBB now. (1st time ever). I seen an AD for their company to try and buy lottery and scratchers with. I deposited $15 and spent $10 on a scratcher and won $15. I then got a $10 scratcher bonus which I used towards another scratcher which t...

Stopped by my usual store on my way to work. Had three extra dollars so occasionally I buy "throwaway" $1 tickets. Out of the three, I got a back-to-back win (haven't seen that in a while) plus got the biggest win from a $1 ticket I ever had. My biggest previously was $30 and I thin...

Picked up 2 of the new NFL Tickets. Was surprised to see the Win All Symbol and the $500 prize amount. I usually avoid buying new games. Got extremely lucky today! PS: it’s already been cashed

Got tickets 01-14 of the Minnesota Casino Millions scratch book. 01 = $0 02 = $50 03 = $0 04 = $0 05 = $0 06 = $50 07 = $50 08 = $75 09 = $0 10 = $0 11 = $0 12 = $100 13 = $100 14 = $0 Total = $425 of $700 spent Its not the worst but I was planning on winning $10,000 on ticket #04...

it might be a superstition to come across a scratcher machine with the magical 2 tickets left message

I was convinced it was gonna be a hundred until i seen the "100" thingy! The universe knew we needed this $5,000!

I won $3,000 on a scratch off. I just received the w2 form in the mail today. Just wondering how long does it take to receive the check after they mailed out the w2? This was my first win that I had to fill out a form for so I’m new to this! I’m from Pennsylvania. I know they said 4-6 weeks from ...
