Got my 8 GB Kingston flash drive and a Sun Maid raisins recipe booklet.

I don't think this really fits here, but today on my way to work I bought a 3$ bingo lottery ticket just out of the blue.. got to work and scratched it, and hit 1000$ Can't believe my luck here lately. Now I might be able to actually afford some games for the Wii U I won from Burger King. Hands down, best week of my life

How do you redeem the lottery ticket? They give you cash or check?

Depending on where you live you can redeem certain cash amounts at the retail location where you purchased the ticket. (In PA and Il its up to $600 , anything higher than that you have to fill out a claim form)
Congratulations unitedvandalism

I had to drive two hours one way today to my closest lottery customer center, (600$ is the maximum stores can give out here).

I was expecting it to be some big process... walked in, no one was there, except a lady behind the counter. Told her I had a winning ticket, showed her my ID/Social and she handed me a very basic form to fill out (name/address/signature) and printed me off a 1,000 dollar check. Soon as she handed it to me, she said "Oh, and I know you're not from around here, but we consistently do business with the Bank of America nextdoor, so if you need a place to cash it, they'll cash it for you!"

Within ten minutes from entering the lottery center, I was trekking my way back home with 20 crisp $50's in my wallet

Oh yeah, and she gave me a free t-shirt for winning too.

EDIT: Forgot to mention, I DID have the choice to mail in the ticket to the location, rather than drive the two hours.. but that. Says on the ticket that if it's lost in the mail, I would be held responsible and nothing could be done. So I chose to spend 40$ in gas to go make 1000$.

That's insane. The most I've won was $5...Which I wasted on another scratch off and lost. Congrats!

Woah lucky, I don't believe in those kinds of things but Im happy when I do see people beat the odds and win. Congratulations don't spend it all in one place lol.

Thanks for the congrats guys. Yeah, lottery tickets are the biggest running scam in the US lol.. I just got lucky. I swore I'll never buy one again, as I know I'll never repeat this luck. I worked in a gas station a couple years ago, and an older man actually hit $32,000 on a ticket... but he was addicted to them so bad, it was sad. He spent at least $200 a week on them, for all the time that I worked there. Guarantee he was still in the hole, having won that much. Especially after he hit that jackpot, he'd come in and buy whole rolls of tickets afterwards. I'd say the money was gone within a month. :(

Got Nestle Latte powder things today. Caramel and Mocha. Taste okay, but I would use milk instead of water for mixing it. Tasted like flavored water rather than a latte.

Got a $25 Walmart gift card from Magazine Direct. Still waiting on another one from them.

Stuff I've gotten in the last 30 or so days.
