Has anybody here ever won anything?
In November, 2000 I had a Lotto 6/49 ticket with all six numbers for the Encore, but I didn't play it. If I had paid the extra dollar, I would have won $250,000.
Around 1994, one of my co-workers won $4 Million in the 6/49. She was a clerk in accounting, probably making around $23K a year. She kept working for about three months, but left because of pressure from middle management, who were jealous that she was significantly wealthier than they were. I think she and her husband bought a large home, and just retired early with a standard of living a little bit better than they had had previously.
There was a guy with whom I went to high school who won $250,000 in the Olympic Lottery, in 1977. It took him seven years to complete four years of high school, but he wasn't stupid, he had been unilingual French, so he was learning English at the high school level.
He was working as a school bus driver. He'd go up to strangers, and say "Here's fifty dollars", or "Here's a hundred dollars", or he'd go into a bar and say "Drinks on me, for everybody.". In six months, all the money was gone.
Somebody might think "He really was stupid", but in his way of thinking, he lived like a king for six months, then went back to his normal life.

Most ever for me was $100.
I once had a ticket where I was off from every winning number by one number, close only counts in horse shoes

Most I've won is $120 about 2 years ago.
Put $70 of gas in my truck and bought groceries. Had about $10 left over.
On a side note, the female broadcaster is pretty hot.

Twice. 20 years apart, I got 6 numbers out of 7 on Lotto Max. Missing that 7th number meant instead of winning $32,000000 I won $2000. Big drop. Should at least get $100,000 for that closeness.
It's not me I feel sorry for so much as the high-priced girls who missed out on the action over the years that a windfall like that would have provided.
