How much money did you invest

I won $200 on a scratch off today 

I was at a 7/11 and bought a $20 scratch ticket.  Won $200.  Went to cash it and the cashier said they don't carry enough cash.  WTF!  You sell the ticket, then pay the fuck up.  Took it to a liquor store and the guy said he had only $140.  Told him I'd buy 3 more $20 tickets to make the difference.  So annoying.

I've won a bunch of $500-$600 on lotto quick picks. As long as it's under 600 you can cash it anywhere they sell Lotto tickets. I cash all my winnings over a couple hundred at the grocery store. They always have plenty of money and don't give you that dumb ass look, like you're taking all their money.

Note: If you win over $600 and you live in broke California, it will take up to 6 months to get your money from the Lotto. (after they take out 25%)

I'm Eddy Mush when it comes to gambling so I don't do it.

It was 200.00 a month for those three years...My employer at the time told me that until a person is actually a "millionaire" (one million altogether in one place, liquid), the best thing to do in investing is a good mutual fund...He personally recommended Fidelity Magellan.
