lol, I already gave in. I actually looked up the biggest win in Ohio and put that there, because, well, it happened in my lifetime. :P
If youre going to get technical, then its actually $590.5 million. :P

As for myself, the most I've won has been $10 on a $10 scratch ticket (i.e. broke even). Of course, the one time that I decided not to buy a Lotto ticket, I could have won $25. That's about how it goes, though, isn't it. :-?

I did Ohio to make it seem realistic, since, well, I live there. :P

Most I've ever hit is $1,000 (twice) with a fair amount of $500s $400s,$200s and a whole bunch of $100s.

My dad hit $20,000 on a $2 scratcher 18 or so years ago and a friend of his hit $500,000(and proceeded to blow through most of it in 15 years time

BTW, Massachusetts Lottery.....

I would think $500,000 lasting 15 years is pretty dang good.

My mom bought 3 7-11-21 scratchers once from the Illinois Lottery, and they all won $25.

While in Denver in 1992, I think I won $100 at bingo.

Maybe at my new home in Seattle this fall (Washington does have a state lottery unlike Alaska), I would love to add an extra 0...or two, three, maybe four!!

Lottery, I'd say about 10 or 15 bucks. The Tennessee Lottery's scratch off tickets seem to be getting a little tougher to win lately. Maybe it's just my luck...

Outside of the lottery, I won $50 on a Monopoly instant win game piece at McDonald's several years ago. I always thought the prizes they advertised outside of free food weren't real and that they just used them as a gimmick to draw you into their restaurant, but that's apparently not the case. At least not in 2006, that is.
Pardon my language, but I do believe we all need to calm the f*** down.

Oh, they're real.  You just have to keep in mind the sheer number of tickets they print.  In the currently-running game, my back-of-the-envelope calculations tell me that there are roughly 60,000,000 of each "losing" property out there, compared to anywhere between 1 and 40 of each "winning" one.
