I have a Wed morning random

DH won $1,000 on a $5 scratcher last night. His friends were at the casino an hour away and as soon as he scratched it off he wanted to go, I was a bitch and made him stay home because there are so many  better things to do with that money, especially with Christmas coming up!

Just wanted to share my excitement.

Wow! That's amazing!

**runs out to buy lots of scratch tickets**

That is awesome! Mil gives us one during holiday times, maybe there is hope now!!

[laurack]

We usually do a secret santa at work and we're supposed to spend $10. Usually at least one person gets scratch tickets and for me this is the coveted prize! I love scratch tickets though I never buy them because I know how it works, usually. lol

Wow, that's awesome! I always wish for free money but I never buy tickets or play lotto.

That is awesome! My parents' good friends won $300,000 on a scratch off a few weeks ago. After taxes they banked $180,000. Nice chunk of change!

That's freaking awesome.

I won $500 bucks on a scratch off once. That was a fantastic day.

That seems like a lot of taxes! I would still take $180,000 any day!

That is awesome! So happy for you! And good for you making him stay home and not go blow it at the casino. I would have done the same thing!

That's awesome!! Holiday bonus!!

I won $100 on a pickle ticket once (a pull-tab) and I desperately wanted to run around the bar yelling "I'm makin' it rain!!" Alas, I pocketed my winnings and likely spent it on something exciting like groceries.

[PatBenatar]

That is awesome!!! I don't think I've ever won more than $20 (which I would still get excited about)

That's so amazing! I'll never forget on my 18th birthday, my parents took me to buy a scratch off. I had JUST lost my mom, and the insurance money was tied up, and there was no extra money for anything. Well, I won $200 and freaked out. I marched right back in, collected my money, and my parents whisked me to the mall to buy whatever I wanted. It was such a bittersweet birthday, but that's when I first believed my mom was watching over me.

I hope you guys get to use that money for some fun!

That's great! Can you guys cash it in at a gas station, or do you have to go somewhere else since it's over $500??  Not sure if each state has different laws and such on collecting the money.

[carawestt]

That's awesome!

[jaime183]

that's great! Happy holidays to you!

[twirlermom]

That is awesome! DH won $250 on scratchies yesterday. I was happy with that, especially since I put in an order for some christmas presents from Kohls earlier in the day

Yay for scratchies!

[raynes]

::makes note to buy scratch ticket at lunch::

That's totally awesome.

[kemangel124]

Wow! That would MAKE our Christmas! Good for you for making him stay home! I guess I need to start buying more scratchers!

No we had to go to the lottery office to get a check for it, but we didn't mind!
