    << <i>what were the total winnings on the scratcher? >>


    I can't tell by looking at that ticket what's a winner and what isn't. If I had to guess I'd say you won $10 (two rows of solid 5's). Am I right?

    Nope....each number is the amount added to the next....

    You take the numbers at the top of the card and scratch off the numbers below. If they match, you win the dollar amount under the matching number and then add them all up.



    $200.00 is the total

    top row: $5x5= $25
    2nd row: $20x2= $40 + $5x3= $55
    3rd row: $20x2= $40 + $5x3= $55
    4th row: $5x5= $25
    5th row: $5x4=$20+$20=$40

    $25+$55+$55+$25+$40= $200

    What was that, 200 bucks on a $10 ticket? WTG! That's a helluva find for the Wildcard category!
    Congrats!

    I hit $500 on a $2 ticket, once. I don't ever spend more than two bucks for a ticket, and I only buy one or two a month, if that.

    I've never bought a scratch ticket, but get them as gifts on occasion. I'll buy one powerball ticket anytime it gets above 200mil.
    As for category... I'd say the $10 bill is a wildcard find, and the ticket was a lucky purchase.
