    Personally, only $10 at the most. My sister won $50, lol.

    I know of a couple (rich) and they have a lottery check for $1250, its on their wall, they dont even need to cash it. I seems like the rich win the most

    A lady I used to work for won $250,000.

    I have a lottery story though. One day I was winning on the scratch off left and right, just $1 or $2 here and there. I kept going to different stores. Well I was down to my last $2 so I couldn't decide if I wanted one $2 ticket or 2 $1 tickets. So I went with the 2 $1 dollar tickets. I was going to buy this certain $2 one but changed my mind. They guy in line behind me bought the one I was going to buy but changed my mind. And wouldn't you know it, he won $10,000!!!! So after that every time I would see him around he would ask if I was playing so he could get in line behind me. Needless to say, I don't really like to play anymore!
