Won $500 on a $20 scratch off. Pay at the pump wasn't working so I went in to pre-pay and thought "what the hell. I'll get a ticket."

Gas station down the street from my work sold someone a $435,000,000 powerball ticket last year. That was pretty cool.

Won a trip to go see the world premier of "The Nice Guys" starring Ryan Gosling and Russell Crow in LA. Included flights and 2-night stay in Hollywood.

It was an online entry through a radio station that I totally forgot I entered - pretty cool experience!

I won a grill once. As far as lottery... Gotta play to win, and I'm not big on paying in to the system. It is there to take money, not give it out.

What I would do to be young and without responsibilities again.
I used to play blackjack quite a bit and when I'd get on a run I was very aggressive.

I've won $25,000, $18,000, $15,000, $12,000, $10,000 + smaller amounts.

15 years later I still get comped in both Atlantic City and Las Vegas.
I now go once a year to each.

I must add that what I may consider big may be nothing to someone else.
I was watching a guy no more than 25 years old at a craps table that had over $15,000 on every roll.

You met your wife via Facebook originally? Do tell.
Yup. Back in around 2004 or 5 when it was colleges only. Went down whos single on my list or whatever. 10 years later we got married. These days if i was single after hearing dating stories, im pretty sure id die alone with my cat. I'm set in my ways and most people annoy me.

Besides $800 playing roulette, nothing. This thread makes me want to play the lotto though. lol. I probably only play once per year.
