Good hit there. Every time I buy a North Carolina Scratch Off I either don't win or win a free ticket which means I have to drive back to get another ticket which then loses.

I owned a convenient store for 3 years and I'll tell you right now those are REALLY rare. I remember selling 10 books of $10 and $20 tickets ( each book is worth $500) and my customers only hit $500 once. Anything over a $100 is like finding gold.

Edited to add: People classify winning the lotto as hitting a jackpot such as Power Ball or Mega Millions, but a win is a win!

Congratulations. The most I have ever won on the lotto was $50.00. I have a better chance being struck by lightning.

Congrat's!!!

This one was close to $500 but that was when it was in a PCGS 64, non-cam holder:

Congrats on the $500. Here's one that cost me $500:

why you scratch the void area???

coinkid855 · February 20, 2011 11:01PM

Congrats!!

I've only played the lotto twice, and won both times ($5, $100). I'm hesitant to play again so I don't break my winning streak!

llafoe · February 20, 2011 11:48PM

I'm glad to hear you won the lotto; old friend, pal, buddy... can I borrow $10,000? I'll pay you back sometime, I promise!

The agent scrathes the "void if removed" area and enters the code to verify the ticket.

Try here instead, next time.

roadrunner · February 21, 2011 1:38AM

Must be me, but I don't see where any of your numbers match the winning numbers at the top.

I've gone all my life w/o buying a state sponsered lottery or game ticket. Don't intend to break my streak either.

But congratulations on your win.

Read the directions and look at the 10X

I'm tempted to post a much more valuable coin in this thread, and then see how many shady forum members PM me to try to buy it for $500.

You take scratchoffs?

yellowkid · February 21, 2011 2:09AM

The lotto is a stupidity tax, save your money for collecting!

relicsncoins · February 21, 2011 2:26AM

I guess this would be in the $500 ballpark.

PCcoins · February 21, 2011 2:27AM

Congrats! A friend of mine won $10,000 off a sratch off in NC. So I tried my luck several times with no luck.

My dad's friend won $1,000,000 in a lottery, but I think he only gets $36,000 a year for the rest of his life pretty much.

Baley · February 21, 2011 2:48AM

Coingrats on your Luck!

These halves cost about $500 per (or 1000x face, for the silver bullion fans

)

illini420 · February 21, 2011 2:51AM

Very cool!

This was one of my best eBay scores... cost me $483!!!

lkeigwin · February 21, 2011 3:39AM

Wow! Nice going!

I don't buy lottery tickets because the odds suck. But it's all about luck and you sure got lucky!

I paid less than $500 for this coin...but that was 10 years ago. Little bit of luck there too.

Lance.

johnny9434 · February 21, 2011 3:54AM

no kidding. congrats on the win. buy something ya like

SlangNRox · February 21, 2011 5:00AM

Paid $550 for this. Thanks brokencc. Only coin picture that I have online.

swhuck · February 22, 2011 1:48AM

I'm in the black in state lotteries in both CA and PA. The latter's a bit of a fluke because I didn't live there for very long, but the former was a low four figure win. The odds suck, of course, so I never spend more than a dollar at a time, but it's nice if/when you win.

Never really spent winnings on coins, per se. Maybe next time.

And this is about as close as I'm likely to come on the coin...

guitarwes · February 22, 2011 7:28AM

Congrats. I won $1500 on a scratch off last year, about had a heart attack. Had to pay income tax on it though since they report everything over $500, but they give you the whole winnings to enjoy for a little while.

My dad won $500 on a Georgia Lottery Black scratch off this past Saturday, he about passed out.

I enjoyed the lottery funded HOPE Scholarship when I was in college and try to "give back" some of it by purchasing a lottery ticket here and there.

laxmaster92 · February 22, 2011 8:22AM

Congratulations! I've never been that lucky, spend it well.

TonedRarities · February 22, 2011 9:27AM

LMAO I just won another $500 today!!!

greghansen · February 22, 2011 9:30AM

The most I have ever won on the lotto was $50.00. I have a better chance being struck by lightning.

I got struck by lightning as a kid...and I still haven't won the lottery!
