Recently it is our Chinese New Year, I got a lottery scratch ticket and I won one dundred dollars with it! It was the first time I actually made that much on a scratch ticket, the last time I won with it was only 4 dollars. I never had any luck with lottery ticket or drawing. I was very suprised when I saw I actually hit something! Maybe that's a good sign for this new year!

I've also won a small small amount... $3 from a Powerball ticket (lottery in the US). The jackpot is something ridiculous like 300 million dollars or something. Although it changes every week. I used to play it twice a week..And after about a year, I finally won $3! Woo hoo!

That's wonderful ! So, it certainly is a Happy New Year for you , starting the year with a lottery win. I have not won from a scratch lottery ticket so far. The best I have won from a lottery is $ 10. Any way, wish you good luck throughout the Chinese New Year !!

actually, i have struck lottery before, or rather my husband has struck it before with some help from me hehe well from my dream anyway. it won first prize and we actually won around 20 000 dollars which we of course used to pay off the loans that had accumulated because of my hubby's reckless spending when he was younger-_- i'm hoping that we'll be lucky again soon as we've still got many more to pay off sigh but then again, money is never enough. i hope this year is a good and lucky year for us though. hehehe

A couple of years ago I was so low on money and my son was so eager for me to by him his favorite snack. I was not wanting to go to the store to do so and he encouraged me that by doing so I could buy a lottery ticket as maybe I could be lucky. I knew his intention was specifically to get me to buy his snack and not so much about the lottery scratch ticket. So I finally gave in and went walking with him to the corner store at which time I think he felt a bit guilty and said why don't you buy a ticket as this might just be your lucky day, I suddenly gave in and bought the ticket, and wouldn't you know it, as I won $250 dollars. I felt so rich at the moment as it was a true blessing, on that my son and I recall every now and again, thanks to his sweet thinking/or was it the snack. LOL, it was a blessing.

Yea, I definitely know the feeling! But when I won that 100 dollars last week, I turned around spent it all on the household stuff already...

Im really not lucky when it comes to lottery tickets or any kind of raffle of that sort. I have this auntie, she's so lucky. On time she won a trip to Hongkong. Then about a year ago, she won a car in Cayman Islands. :)
