Powerball Winnings
 
What is the most you have won from playing the lottery? I won 27.00 this week after a 6.00 investment.

I've been playing since 1967.I play a buck or two most weeks. The most I ever won was 48.00. I had a coworker win 7 million. Ah, a dollar and a dream.

My mother-in-law won $14,000. One of our son's co-workers won $6,000,000 and moved home to Puerto Rico. Most I ever won was 5 bucks.

Nothing on the Powerball. Won $1178 at the Casino in Tampa on the slot machines. Many years ago, we took an overnight bus trip to Atlantic City from VA, and I hit the quarter slot machine and I have no idea how much it was. It was at least two cups full. (this was before the vouchers) Somewhere aroune $400, I think. We played the rest of the day, ate a great lunch and deducted the cost of the trip and returned home with over $100 more than we left with.

Hope your two cups full was the entire payout.

Had a similar experience at a Casino, years ago. All the Bells and Whistles went off
AND a light was blinking on top of the slot machine.

ME, the dumb guy was walking away with 2 buckets of coins.
A nice lady walks up to me and said
" stand at your machine, the pay off is MORE than the slot can spit out"

I asked how did you know that ?
She said "the blinking light on top is to alert you. Just wait at the machine,
someone will come out and open the machine and give you a slip to take
to the pay window"

Holy Crap, I almost walked away from enough to pay for the ENTIRE Vacation and a whole lot more.

The sweet lady ( with no makeup and stringy wet hair, wearing a sack dress) refused a 15 % reward from me.
Later I found out she was a VERY well known person.

Another Casino Experience.

I was playing slots and losing badly.

The lady next to me hit a pretty good PAYLINE and asked if I would mind
going down two aisles and tell the man( her husband) in the
BROWN Cowboy hat to come over and play her machine while
she went to the restroom.( but do NOT tell him she won a jackpot)

He said "Oh my, I can't go there right now. I just hit a Jackpot and am
waiting for the floor man to write my payout slip. If I can trust you to watch
her machine until she gets back I will give you $ 100. "

When all was said and done the man in the Brown Cowboy hat came by
and pressed some cash into my hand and thanked me for my troubles.
It was more than $ 100.
