  Does anyone know does anyone ever win the $100 or $500 prizes? 

  I have be playing for quite a while now and the only thing I ever win is either $2 or $5.  I also spoke with a couple of store clerks at a convenience store and one at Publix and they both said the same thing, they have never seen anyone win more than $25.

  Thanks Big Hitter,

   

  I didn't say people were not winning.  What I say was that people were not winning alot especially not the $100 or $500 amounts but only $2 or $3.  Since my original post, I have spoken with a couple more store clerks who have told me that still the highest they have ever seen has been $25.

  Also, based on the amounts that you posted above, the average amount for the 18,970 winners was $3.36 which further substantiates my claim.
