In Indiana, we have several ways to play the Lottery.
Weekly games, Powerball, and scratch off tickets of all kinds.

HAVE YOU EVER OR DO YOU NOW PLAY THE LOTTERY?
WHAT'S THE MOST YOU'VE EVER WON?

The most I ever won on a scratch off ticket, was ten dollars. I don't play much anymore.

I have asked my son for $5 scratch off tickets for Christmas...lol I may win nothing but I love the possibilities and love to scratch those darn things. I once won $100 on a ticket. I think that was my top hit.

Now, take me to a casino and let me pick a slot machine and I do really well! (It's a good thing I'm already poor or I could have a problem...lol)

$50 on a couple occasions on scratch off tickets, $2 on lottery tickets multiple times. I'm still in the hole, however.

I bought a ticket in the last ever Irish Sweepstakes in the mid 80s while on vacation. Didn't win, nor did I know it was the last Sweepstakes. If I had I would have kept the losing ticket.

I play lottery and powerball and usually just get my money back. I was broke years ago and spent my last $10 on a scratchy. I went back to the car and found I'd won a free ticket, repeated this several times and won $500. I was a good boy and paid my electricity bill with it instead of buying the bottle of bourbon I was thinking about, lol.

I'll buy a Powerball ticket when the pots get really high. Scratch offs are once in a blue moon. Mom always buys them for Holiday dinners and birthdays.

True story and it happened last month. My mom has been friends with my Aunt Patty since 5th grade. She likes all kinds of gambling. After winning $500 on a scratch off she went to a store to cash it in and when she got there I found out it wasn't in her purse. Not in her coat pocket either. She figured she must have left it at home. When she got back to the car she saw the ticket laying on the ground right in front of the car door.
She must have dropped it but the real kicker is it was a very very windy day and that ticket didn't move.
