"Oh what FUN, EXCITEMENT AND ANTICIPATION it is for me to play Scratch-offs with my family! For years, especially during a Holiday or event, we each buy $50.00 worth of scratch-offs and mix them in even piles. Whoever wins the most in their scratch-offs gets a gift card for $25.00 (along with their winnings) to a coffee shop, restaurant or store. It's one of our favorite events!"
"I recently bought two scratch-offs - the first one was $100 dollar winner, the second one was a $5, 000 winner! The love of scratch-offs comes from my father who hit a five dollar bingo card for $300, 000 not once but twice in Michigan. First time he was 72 years old and then nine years later hit same bingo for $300, 000 again! I love the idea it might be my turn why not me?"
"I love playing Jersey Cash 5 and all the new games that come out! I have family members that have also won. I prefer to buy my tickets in small shops. Anything can happen with the New Jersey lottery! Do you have to be in it to win it? I think so!"

LANSING, MI -- As if her husband’s birthday wasn’t enough of a reason for a celebration, a Washtenaw County woman went ahead and won a $288, 903 Fantasy 5 jackpot recently.
“I like to play Fantasy 5 when the jackpot gets over $150, 000, ” said 46-year-old Kristin Murawski. “We made a quick stop at Red’s, and I saw the jackpot was way past $150, 000, so I grabbed a ticket.
“It was my husband, Scott’s, birthday, so we stopped at our neighbor’s house on the way home to celebrate. While we were there, my brother-in-law texted my husband the winning numbers. As I was looking at them, I kept yelling: ‘I think we hit! I think we hit!’ My husband looked at the ticket and his jaw dropped!”
