It was an ugly day today, as my hot streak came to a screeching halt.  It was a $25 loss.

The KACHING meter for December 26, 2008:  26.1

I thought I should update my biggest winners in each ticket category list while I'm doing this.....

$20:  $100 ($50 + $20 + 3 x $10) on GA Lottery 15th Anniversary Millionaire Extravaganza -- July 2008

$10:  3 $100 winners (1st and 3rd were 5 x $10 + 10 x $5 via firecracker "win all" and the 2nd was 4 x Bill $5) on Cash Explosion -- 1st and 2nd in Feb. 2008 and the 3rd in May 2008

$5:  $60 (15 x $4 via truck "win all") on $250,000 Cash -- May 2008

$3:  $45 (Double Bill $15 + $9 + $6) on Strike It Rich 2009 -- December 2008

$2:  2 $100 winners (1st was $50 + $30 + $20 bonus box and 2nd was 10 x $10 via bill "win all") on Mad Money and Stocking Stuffer respectively -- July 2004 and November 2008 respectively

$1:  $100 (Jumbo $20) on Junior Jumbo Bucks -- April 2005

$0.50:  $40 (381 box) on Cash 3 -- October 2008

I've got 10 $0.50 plays of various types for Cash 3 tonight, so that loss for today could change for better (hopefully) or worse.

Until next time, may you have better luck on scratchers than I did today.
