My brother called me today from NC and had some fantastic news...He stopped at the gas station yesterday and bought 2 scratch off tickets for him & his wife...
He didn't win but she hit it for $250,000 with hers! They got just over $176,000 out of it. Not bad for a $5.00 investment.

Fantastic.......I won 15 dollars about 2 weeks ago. Now you know 2 winners

Nice, I'd pay off the house. And invest the rest.

**68bowtie** · 01-26-2021, 03:50 AM

That’s awesome!

I’d pay off a fraction of my house.

Brother is retiring in July. They have bought land and having their retirement home built in Hendersonville NC to be done by this October. They will have a new place with no payment. That is so great for them. I very happy for them.

Good stuff! Up here in Ontario,if you win 250,000 you get 250,000 all lotto winnings are tax free,I am still waiting to win something!!!

**kwmech** · 01-26-2021, 06:58 PM

tax free would be sweet

Low Elco · 01-26-2021, 07:13 PM

I cleared a bunch the other day. Up 18 bucks! Now you know 3!

**special-K** · 01-27-2021, 06:44 AM

Sounds like good news for your brother and bad news for you. I figure it's rare to ever know a lottery winner, you now know the one rare one, and that puts you winning at super ultra rare.

67ChevyRedneck · 01-27-2021, 09:45 AM

Well, I don't mean to brag, but you actually know 2. Won me a big $50 jack pot on one of them scratch offs 'bout 10 years ago

Seriously, that's awesome. The wife and I are trying to be debt free by 43 (40 now). I could have paid everything off and still had a lot of fun even with that amount.

That's actually a really nice amount to win. That could pay off most if not all debt for a lot of people, and leave some "fun money", and it's not a large enough amount where you feel obligated to "help everyone out".
