Anonymous winner:
I was on the Lottery app and saw The Jack was getting up there, so I told my wife we needed to go buy a ticket right away because I had a lucky feeling, As soon as we got to the restaurant, the first thing I did was fill out a bet slip.
It's hard to imagine what it would feel like to win the lottery. Your emotions would be running wild and it would all be so overwhelming. The moment you scanned your ticket and discovered that you won thousands of dollars would the best feeling ever.
After several draws, we noticed The Jack had reset to $10,000, so I scanned my ticket on the Lottery app to check it. When confetti came up on the screen and confirmed the winning amount, I didn’t believe it. I exited out of the app and then logged in again and scanned my ticket a second time. When the confetti and winning amount came up on the screen again, I burst into tears.
If I won the lottery I know for a fact that I would break down and cry like a big baby. Heck, I would get emotional even if I won the smallest amount.
The only time that I've ever won money was at a casino years ago. I definitely cried that day...because I lost it all minutes later.
