+147 I won $500 on a $3 crossword.

I had $43 to my name that I was trying to figure out how to stretch for the next seven days until payday. I hardly ever gamble. As you can tell, I can't afford it, but every once in a while, I'll buy a $3 Crossword. I genuinely enjoy playing them, so I still get something out of it, even when I lose. And I lose most of the time, but when I do win, I usually just get my money back or $5. $20 was the most I'd get back though. The most I've won on any scratch off before was $200 on a $10 loteria that I got for Christmas. That was almost a decade ago. This is the most money I've ever won, and it couldn't have came at a better time. It was the exact amount I needed too. I desperately needed this. I haven't had a financial break like this is YEARS. I deserve this. Good look to everyone playing today!
