    My Grandfather Hit the Cash 5 Colorado Lottery
    Been meaning to post this, he hit the Colorado Cash 5 numbers for August 3rd (11-14-16-24-32), on August 4th he woke up and checked his numbers from the paper and saw they matched and couldn't believe it. The numbers were not a quick pick either, he chose them based on birthdays and other numbers of importance I guess.

    He was all anxious and excited to claim it so I drove him down to the Pueblo lottery office the same day and filled out all the paper work for him, the jackpot amount is only $20,000 for Cash 5 so after taxes he received $14,200. Uncle Sam always gets his cut

    I was glad to see the old man win something big finally, he has been playing the lotto/scratch tickets for years and goes to Cripple Creek (Where the casinos are here in CO) several times a month to play the slots and BS with his cronies. At least we know where to go now when someone in my family hits the big one

    He was damn lucky to hit it, the odds on the Colorado lottery website show a 1 in 201,376 chance of matching all 5 numbers.





    The pictures kind of suck since they were taken with my cell phone, and the picture he is holding above the check is some picture he took of a double rainbow that he considers lucky lol..guess it worked.

                      make sure he doesn't spend any of it so you can blow it after inheriting it.

                                                    That's awesome. It was announced yesterday that the $230 million powerball winning ticket yesterday was sold in my county in MN...everyone got all giddy and then pissed after they checked their tickets. The winner hasn't come out yet. I hope I know the person

                                                        Good for him. How much do you think he has spent over the years buying tickets?

                                                            yeah its cool. But it is sorta like hitting a 5 teamer when youre down half a mil lifetime. It looks good but in reality it is just a nice photo op.

                                                            But that is why people play the lottery, to hit the jackpot. But more often than not the jackpot doesnt come close to getting their money back.

                                                            My cousin does scratch tickets hand over fist, he has hit a lot of 1K plus winners, and a couple 10K ones, he is still a loser long term. But cant tell him that.

                                                            What would make this perfect is if you said "only time my grandfather played he hit'. Still a cool story, I am just a cynical kind of guy.

                                                              an uncle of mine won 10k off a $1 scratcher a few years back - best couple weeks of the fukkers life.
