I've been on a mission/binge. Bought $1000's of instant lottery tickets in the last week. Even bought several 'PACKS' before they were opened. It's $300 for a pack, on average you get back about half. A couple of packs I've gotten like $250 back and even one pack made like $40. The question is has anyone here ever hit the grand prize for a particular game? Do you know anyone who hit the big one? The amounts you can win from instants isn't enough to change your life meaningfully, but sure would give breathing room. I live NJ so their's about 50 games to choose from. I go to their website to see which ones still have grand prizes remaining and only $5 and $10 tickets with grands prizes ranging from 100k to 1 mil are the ones I buy.. Obviously 1mil would change my life for a long time but that's the $10 ticket. Some of them are so confusing and involve matching numerous numbers, I am sure I've thrown out winners, just hope they weren't the biggies
