chevysoldier Posted February 23, 2010 Report Share Posted February 23, 2010 I have two lottery tickets I have had for as long as I can remember. They are dated Friday April 28th, 1922. I know there is a wide variety of people on here so I am hoping that maybe someone knows something or knows someone that may know something about these. Thanks.

chevysoldier Posted February 23, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2010 Watching Pawn Stars right now ... will get back to ya if I find anything out.I am too, that's what made me think of these. They have been in a couple of coin binders for years so they'd stay flat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only remember the ticket signed by Washington, I know these aren't anywhere near that. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ross Posted February 23, 2010 Report Share Posted February 23, 2010 i stand corrected...http://www.pawnstarsshow.com/1758-lottery-ticket/it was a 1758 Massachusetts Lottery ticket, signed by George Washington. Guy asked $15,000, they offered $8,000. No Deal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ross Posted February 23, 2010 Report Share Posted February 23, 2010 i'd say its worth about $15 tops based off of the condition and the going price for similar years on ebay. sorry to burst your bubble if you were hoping for a pot of gold.

I have a boxes and boxes of old and collectible stuff. I just really need to go through them all. I don't buy/ find this stuff to make a million bucks, I like the history and stories behind the. I figured I'd start here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the $20k top payout was crazy big, back then!Cool stuf, even if it's not worth much!That's why I like stuff like this. $20,000.00 in 1922 had about the same buying power as $249,652.02 in 2010.Annual inflation over this period was about 2.91%.
