    I won 1k on a scratch off once. After filling out the prerequisite paperwork and getting the money, I received a tax form from the state at the end of the year and approximately 50% of your winnings magically turn into taxes.

    So really, your question is, what pin is the best bang-for-the-buck for 4k.

    As mentioned previously in the chain, BSD no question. Maybe a Shadow second, with an alternate translite package. And if you manage to find a seller who doesn't know what they are doing, maybe a whitewater.......

    Quoted from acebathound:

    Ain't that the truth.

    For some dumb reason decided I needed to declare it on my taxes even though it was below the amount where you needed to give them any info. I think I've been angry about that ever since lol.

    In the case of scratch offs, honesty is NOT the best policy.

    If I ever win again, I hope it's $750. Here in PA, anything under $800 they just give you the cash and no forms required. Otherwise, the gov'ment will take their pound of flesh.
