Your best lottery win?

[theblether]

I won 3,860 baht in November, that's the second time I've done that. A syndicate of Thai pals won just over a million baht January 22. What's your best win on the lottery?

I won jury duty twice and my number came out to get conscripted into the army, later in life I had the lucky number under my chair and won a bottle of wine...

If you can call the Premium Bonds draw a lottery, I won £20000 back in 1998.

I won 90.000 baht on the underground lottery (3 numbers) in 2021 using combinations of my daughter's new car plate number. Never won since or before.

[stoner]

scored a freebie on beach road at midnight about a year back.

4,000 baht last year, three banks in a shopping centre would not allow me to cash-out because I was a 'Foreigner'.....

In 1976, I was in a work syndicate that won a "Prizes Galore" lottery run by my State's Lottery Commision.

The $125,000 prize divided 6 ways meant I received $20,833 (AUD). Doesn't sound like much now, but it was about the price of a modest house back then, which is how I spent most of it. The other members had their picture on the front page of the newspaper, but I was on an overnight fishing trip and didn't find out about the win until the next day. 

Interestingly, the second prize went to another syndicate of guys from a govt dept and I personally knew about half of them. One of my mates on the fishing trip, worked with them.

I won all the money I would have lost if I ever played. 

The lottery is a tax on poor people. 

[bignok]

I won $800,000. Spent about half on women.

I inherited a tank from Slobodan Milosevic

Football pools no winners with 24pts announced I had 23pts nearly fainted, then two sweaty days later 10,000 winners with 23pts rocked up and my £1million ended up £5,500🤔

hahaha me 2, and with 2 of them (different times), im guessing they were looking to retire from the game and checking out prospectives, though one did ask for 3000 in the morning so she could buy some pots and plants....of course I refused, second one didnt even want a lift home...

Luckily, using the banks is not the only way to claim your winnings as, doubtless, you found out.

Didn't know there were lotteries offering baths as prizes.
