    Yes, before the Lottery increase the winning odds to 1:7 I would win 1:8 (usually $3US. [Back in the c. 1990s, I had a 500$US winner, the store refused to accept it, because it was "too much".  I had to go to another store to redeem it.)

    Since they increased the Winning Odds, I Have had 1:32 win.

    I stopped playing.

    Yes I have won lots of small amounts, but nothing that would make me boast about.

    Yes, but most has been 50 dollars a few times, on a single scratchy. Usually just 2, 3 and 5 dollars mainly, 10 and 20 sometimes. Can't be bothered buying them anymore, unless buying lotto tickets might get to round up the cash

    Yes, back when I used to buy them a long time ago, I had several where I won money. But I spent more money than I won. I quickly realized this and quit buying them. They are nothing but a voluntary tax.
