What is the most amount of money you have ever won playing the lottery?

I always say "One day I will win the lottery and not have to work anymore." Problem is I do not play the lottery often. So my chances of winning are super slim.

The first time I played Win for Life (scratch off) I won $100. That sparked my interest for a while.

What is the most amount of money you have ever won playing the lottery? Or on a scratch off ticket?

You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

Consider yourself lucky, and get out while you are ahead.

Lotteries are designed to make money. Very few people profit from the lottery, but the dream of that big win keeps people trying.

I have one as much as $100 a couple of times on scratch tickets, but the fact of the matter is that was extreme luck.

Here is an example, this pages lists the various odds of winning prizes on a select instant lottery ticket from the massachusetts state lottery:

http://www.masslottery.com/games/instant/2-dollar/celtics-cash-2010.html

There are a total of about 3 million prizes available, but a total of 15 million tickets and less then 10,000 $100 winners, that means there are 1 $100 winner for every 1500 tickets. Meaning you would have tp spend, on average, $3000 to win 100.

Stay away.
