Someone play a cruel joke on you??

Excuse my ignorance as gambling isn't familiar to me but am I reading that to say you've won $10k?

 

[Andy Chase]

NICE:driving:

 

[Mark K 2]

Yep. I won $10,000. It cost $31.65 in postage to send it off to the lottery office in Madison, WI... registered mail.

Thats awesome, congrats!

Congratulations! Just curious as to why it cost $31.65 to send the ticket to the lottery office? Registered mail is not that expensive? So did you have to send it overnight or express delivery, insured for $10k? etc???

Thats not one of those joke tickets is it?

 

[gary s]

congrats :supercool:



curious, how much was the ticket? $5, 10,20 ?

 

[Mark K 2]

It's a $30 ticket. It took balls to spend that much, but there was a 1:3 chance that I'd at least break even.



The postage was $31.65 for insurance and registered mail. The postmaster said that I should insure it as if I was sending cash, so it was insured for $10,000.

Mark,

Contratulations again, and it was smart to insure the ticket. I guess $31.65 is not so bad if you stand to get a check for $10K. :supercool:



Spend it wisely :grin:

Nice one. Last week I played my cell phone number for the daily play 4 number nightly drawing It came out straight.... in the daytime drawing the next day. I only played that one night. Ugh, it would have been $10,832.00.

I've got friends visiting from Wisconsin right now and they want to know which game it was.
