Do you buy instant lottery tickets? What is the most you have won at one time? I believe I won about $80.00 in the past, but within this year about a few dollars.

I been playing lotto since I was 18 yrs' old, never won a thing but free tickets, till last year I asked my oldest son to play the lotto for me and get something to eat, he sure came back with the food but forgot to play my lotto numbers, it was too late to go back and play my numbers that I been using since I was 18 yrs. old and sure enough, 4 of my numbers came out, I lost $25,000. I just started to cry.  :(  After this I never won anything. But this year 2015, I till this day continued playing the same numbers, but won only  $74.

I bought lottery tickets as a gift last year... The same amount of money that I won covers the lottery ticket.

And think of all the money you have wasted.  : (   I have played a couple times.  I won $24 in Power Ball once.  And a little here and there on scratch off tickets.  But I do not purchase them any longer.  Just a waste of money I need to pay bills with.

I only buy lottery tickets for my wife at Christmas and then for myself on vacation.  The most I've ever won was $100.00.  That was over 20 years ago.

 I like to play my paired numbers, my pick three and pick four. Sometimes I get lucky.

I buy scratch offs the most i've won was 40.00 almost dropped dead with just that,kidding but was looking at the ticket for awhile. my husband likse to buy that Super Lotto where you pick no's weve put in hundred over the years and have won maybe 200.00 not at once but over no. of years.it really is a waste of money but then that next scratch off could be 500.00 no 1000.00 winner.
