What a Christmas present!!!

barob72 · 12-25-2011, 10:26 AM

So my wife and daughter wake up this morning to the wonders of Christmas day and all the gooddies left from Santa. Unfortunately Santa neglected to "leave" batteries so I had to make a quick trip to the local Sheetz to grab some. While there I decided what the heck why not try a scratch off. I probably buy two or three per year. To my surprise I actually won $500. I had never won more than $25 before.

Thank you Santa (and the NC state lottery) for helping make Christmas a little easier on the wallet.

Nice!!! I had 4 scratch tickets from my mom and won $2

Not bad! We got our normal $100 bucks in tickets (stuck in 5 different stockings so about $20 each)....big winner got 35...low winner got skunked...I won a buck

I have about 10 scratch offs I still haven't done. Come on $5K!!!

avjp87 · 12-25-2011, 11:46 AM

you lucky SOB, nice dude.

i had $300 in a card so I guess that counts

dthimesch · 12-25-2011, 11:53 AM

Geez. I'd say that's pretty awesome!

barob72 · 12-25-2011, 12:36 PM

Yeah, I felt lucky this morning. Had no intention to buy one, but while in the check-out line the thought hit me to grab a $20 scratch off card. Totally a rash decision.

Merry Christmas to everyone and I hope your luck is even better then my own.
