Played on Thursday.
I bought two of the $3 Bingo Plus tickets, first was a dud and the second was a $10 winner.
I then bought a $10 Crazy Wild Cash and lost. Took my Mega Millions and Power Ball ticket and left.
This past Saturday a friend bought a $20 Max-a-million and hit $25, went back and got another (5 #'s apart) and hit $1000.
A guy at work just told me a person bought a ticket at a grocery store in a town about five min away and hit $300,000 over the weekend.
That makes two $300,000 winnners right in my back yard in the last 3 months.
I personally am all but done playing, I'll try the new tickets each time they come out and thats it. I'll play match 6 when it gets up over a million
and the occasional power ball / mega million tickets.
On a side note and IIRC my mother (who has prepared taxes professionally for the last 15 years) told me that in order to be able to use losing tickets
like that as tax deductions, you need to be able to itemize your losses? I can ask again, but the gist of it was is that you needed to have a LOT of losses
before you could itemize and unless you could itemize it then it wouldn't count?
