Never read about a winner on these boards and never met anyone who knew of a winner.
I have never had the first number!

I've never had a number anywhere close to the winning number, never met a winner.

I won it once at a basketball game - was an early season game and I think I won like $300. Probably like the lowest total ever haha, but hey I'll take it! Never come close at the football games.

I must buy tickets for the wrong game each week. In the string of 10+ numbers I never have any

Our tailgate group purchases hundreds of dollars in tix each week for years and have never been close.
The conspiracy theory of no winner has been suggested although I find that ridiculous.
To put it to rest I said I would start this thread.
So someone has to know someone who knows of a winner.

Back in 2006, the Touchdown Club would do it for away games at the Olive Branch and I won $140 bucks when we played Pittsburgh that year...does that count?

Had a fraternity alum win about 13K a few years back. I've seen 2 people in section 129 win in the past 4 or 5 years.

They literally just give you a check and that is that...

I know the guy that won the 50-50 at the ttfp game last year. But I am wondering why they waited more than 10 minutes and reannounced the same number yesterday. Read another number if no one claims.

I once had a match for everything but the last two digits (I was 14 below the winning number) so the person that won must have bought from the same cheerleader in the blue lot that I did a few minutes before or after me. That was back when the winner was getting around 3 grand.

I never won.
I don't know anybody who has ever won.
I don't know anybody who knows anybody who won.
I've never seen anyone near me jump up and scream "OMG I won"
the winning number last night started with a 17 something. My numbers started with 303. The OSU fan next to me looked at my ticket and asked if I possibly had last week's ticket in my hands.

The MSU game 50/50 winner sat in section 129, I believe. At least that's what I assume after watching the guy fly out of his seat and out of the section like he had a rocket pack up his butt about 15 seconds after the announcement.

I'm pretty sure 4-5 years ago a guy two or three spots down from me Purple won. I missed by 8 numbers after waiting my turn while this guy ahead of me bought a bunch. His car was gone when I returned to the lot after the game lol.

@mildone - his ex-mother-in-law won the biggest 50/50 ever (until this season, I think) - the first game after the stadium expansion, against Cincy - something like $35K.

Yes. I know someone who wone a few years ago. If you win, they don't give you cash, or even a check. They give you tax forms and send you the check a few weeks later.

guy in our group won it homecoming in 2009, I think it was around 20k, as stated above you fill out a bunch of forms and they mail you a check in a couple of weeks. Funny thing is, since it was homecoming and most people who bought tickets didn't make it in the game against Texas Southern, the ticket was the 2nd or 3rd one pulled.

Glad to see so many from 128 posting here. I too saw the MSU winner from 129. He's a regular and sits maybe one row behind me just across the aisle in 129.

I almost hate to admit this but the same thing happen to me, I have to go with the assumption the tickets were given in number order, my buddy bought his and the next number in line was mine. For some stupid reason I tossed them in the car and went in without them. Lost out on 11, K till this day I never told my wife,,,
