i won the lottery! ( sort of ) one of my peeps knew of a place where they sell tinted shotgun glasses for outdoor use ( i first saw them on the third season of stargate sg-1 and thought they were so cool looking ), so we both go but it turns out that they did not have them. so he stops for gas and he always buys a scratch off lotto ticket convinced that he will when a large cash prize one day. he convinces me to buy on called break the bank where you have to have three matching cash amounts to win that amount or if get a symbol of a stack of bills, you automatically win the amount underneath the symbol. i scratched and saw the symbol with forty dollars underneath! so i won forty dollars! i want to get a game but i guess i should save it for a rainy day.

once when i was younger i won two hundred dollars in a scratch off but since my dad bought the ticket and i was not old enough to cash it, he let me keep eighty dollars. i felt cheated but i was in sixth grade and eighty dollars was a big deal, so i did not mind.

has anyone else every won more than one or two dollars in a scratch off?
