won $350 after playing 4 $5 instant tickets!!!

ticket numbers 003, 002, 001, and 000. the game was Cool Cash. Tickets 003 and 002 were losers, but 001 was a $250 winner and 000 was a $100 winnner! I think I'm gonna get the Klipsch 5.1's...

OMG! You know what your odds were to have that happen? Not 1:2, I can promise you that ;)

On $5 tickets the odds are usually 1:3.15 or so on winning _something_. To win $100 AND $250 is amazing.

Go buy $350 worth of $5 tickets and see what you get ;)

Not sure about Illinois, but in Minnesota you need to cash any ticket worth more than $100 at the main lottery office. Anything under $100 can be cashed at any place that sells lottery tickets.
