  It was a long, long time ago.  There were four different games you could play here in Michigan.
  
  The games were $1 $1,000,000 Raffle (pre printed red, white and blue tickets), $1 scratchers, pick 3 and a wacky EZ-pick card game where you got 3 cards and I don't remember how you could win but the prize levels were weird...I don't remember what they were but it was something like $23, $57, $116 something along those lines (those were not the actual prize levels).
  
  Anyway it was so long ago I don't remember if my first ticket was the $1 raffle or the $1 scratcher but I am certain that it was one of either of those two.

  Virginia 3-ball, Tue. 01/11/2005. I did not win anything.

  Today's winning 3-ball is going to be a number between 000 and 999.

  In a lot of states, lotteries benefit education. That makes the REAL winners the only people who can't play!

  First game was a scratch off, always with a pounding heart, won a few times

  You can only achieve great things through great sacrifice

  Hmm. Speaking of older Family Members playing Lottery, my Grandma DID send me to the Corner Store to buy her scratch off Lottery tickets. I was like 11 and the Clerk sold it to me when I said it was for my Grandma. This was around 1995, no way would a Clerk sell to an 11 year old in 2021. ;)  Grandma let me scratch off a Snowman game and said something like,"My Snowman didn't match any winning numbers, so it's a losing ticket. Mom played a scratch off ticket too a little later and won $30. :)

   

  So, technically, the Snowman ticket Grandma told me to buy for her was my FIRST Lottery Game I played. :) The Blackjack Card Lottery ticket was my first Lottery Game as an ADULT....;)

  late 30s you're in.   I was carded at this place when i was 18.   crazy how times are.

  I think it was either an instant ticket.    Years ago when my gpa was alive,  he gave me $10 to get gasoline for the car,  turns out I spent some of that money and won $9 back.
