On December 6th we purchased a Virginia's New Year's Millionaire Raffle ticket for $20. Our ticket number is 394472 -- please send good vibes our way! The winning numbers will be announced at 11:00 p.m. on December 31st. The odds of winning $1M aren't bad -- 1 in 110,000 -- when you compare that to the odds of winning the top prize on a scratch-off, which are more like 1 in 1,000,000.
Last week a good friend of ours gave us some Virginia Lottery scratch-off tickets as a Christmas gift. I wish we had counted the amount of tickets he gave us, but we didn't. The denominations of the cards were from $1 to $10. We scratched them all and saved the six winning tickets, which we will cash in to purchase more tickets. Here's what we won:
Black Jack (Ticket price $1) We won $1.
Diamond Dazzler (Ticket price $2) We won $2.
Dough Doubler (Ticket price $2) We won $20!
Holiday Treasures (Ticket price $5) We won $5.
Match 3 (Ticket price $5) We won $10.
Blazin' Red Hot Cash (Ticket price $10) We won $20!
We will purchase $58 worth of Virginia Lottery scratch-offs with the winnings. Wish us luck!
Thanks for visiting! We are a married couple who are Virginia Lottery enthusiasts. We have decided to start journaling our Virginia Lottery playing experiences. Playing the lottery has been a lot of fun for us over the years. We are especially fond of the scratch-off games. Over the years we have spent thousands of dollars playing the lottery, but so far we've won only scant amounts (if anything) on each ticket. With the amount of money we've spent on Virginia Lottery scratch-offs over the years, one would think that we should have won at least $100 here and there, $200 once in a while, or perhaps $500 or even $1,000 every now and then, but it never happens. Are we really that unlucky? The most we ever win is $20 or $30 on a ticket (most of the time it's less than that). We decided to start journaling our lottery playing experiences, and we would love to hear from others about their experiences as well. Are there any regular players out there winning $100, $200, $500, $1,000, $5,000 or even $10,000 or $25,000? Please send some luck our way, and hope we win big already!
