Still Stunned....

[northstar3184]

Thanks all!

I still haven't decided what I want to with yet, nor have I claimed it yet. To claim it I have 2 options: 1) Mail it in or 2) Drive ~an hour away to claim it at a lottery customer service center. I'm thinking it'd be better to do in person, even though mailing is more convenient. That way it can't get "lost".

Then I think I'll wait until I do my taxes next month before I decide what to do with it. That way I'll know what my account balance will look like once all is said and done.

I am so happy for you.  I would love to win something like that.  Heck I would be happy with Dazzle's 1000.00.  This is fabulous.  I never really get the scratch off tickets. Perhaps we should grab some once in a while.  Yes go in person. I would with that kind of money.

It ties it. I won $1,000. I didn't win the grand prize. There are nine words uncovered. If I'd had one more word it would have been $10,000. Congrats on your $1,000 win!

Looks like ten words to me, but I guess I don't understand what the rules are. Congratulations either way!

Span is not a completed word since "S" was not in their letter bank. :p

Iv played these a few and I ALWAYS think I see more words than I  got xD Super lucky though! I've never gotten more than two works haha, but I've only ever bought them 2-3 times so, I'm not really working with any odds lol. Congrats!

$1000 is still pretty awesome- congrats~!  I never play these things since the chance of winning are so low and my luck is never that high

Well doneeeeeeeee!

I won £5 on a scratch card this Christmas, better than nothing 

[brightberry]

That's crazy! Very awesome. Congrats!

[Princess Lala]

You have officially inspired me to go out and play some scratch offs! I keep showing my husband this thread, he wants to play really bad but wants to see more real-life winners out there! $1k is still really super awesome although I thought you won the 10k at first xD   

Also isnt Cyan a word? Like for the color blue/green? I would try to find an app for the ticket and see if you can "scan" it to find out just how much you have won! I see the word "rad" in Eldorado but im guessing you need the full word to win xD

Huge congratulations!

Congrats!

it doesn't have the word "pony" anywhere in there

I know. But I do have a card I got on my birthday where the only word scratched off is my dog's name, Iris. Even though it's a losing ticket I keep it because it's special to me.

Btw, I cashed the ticket on Thursday. I put some money on the balance for my dog's surgery, bought a new office shredder for work to replace the one I jammed, and I'm holding the rest for now. I'm thinking I want to sponsor a couple dog or cat adoptions at work but want to see what my tax return will look like first before overspending.

OMG, that is amazing!!! Congrats!

[hathorcat]

Oh my gosh! Congrats and what a great list of causes for your money - *squeeeee* well done!
