Yes, I have won lottery prizes a number of times. The maximum I wan was $ 60. That was quite exciring any way. I just keep hoping I would be more lucky some day. What's happening these days is that the numbers I choose miss the winning numbers just by one digit. Pretty smart I guess, or may be pretty disappointing. Just keep waiting for the lucky day !

I never won in that game even once. You are lucky than me by chance you are able to hit that amount. Here in our country, many people really play that game for they are hoping to hit the jackpot prizes worth to hundred millions. Because of unemployment and other financial set backs, they risk still there left money just to gamble in this game. Imagine how many from the population try their luck to become a millionaire. It is really by chance.

Yeah....the odds are against you. Where do you live? It's best to just decide what you are "comfortable" losing. Then when you lose, your still OK. Never spend your food money on lotto tickets!!!

I won a hundred dollars once, only to learn that I was required to claim it on my taxes and they wanted $26 of it. How cruel is it that the United States government taxes the crap out of something you just won from a form of game that is designed for you to lose money? It's not enough that you have a one in bazillion chance of winning the lottery, when you do the government has to tax the bejeezus out of it. Just not right.
