I have only hit big numbers 3 times , one Monday morning a 600 dollar winner , at Christmas I scratched a $2,that paid $2000. then out of the blue I decided to buy 4 $5 scratch offs. First one was a $20 winner so im thinking , okay got my money back ! THEN THIS ONE !!! I must be living right or something because I really don't play the scratches very often and when I do I win back half or break even.
