I won an online lotto once. For $1.00. They sent me the check. I couldn't believe it. It probably cost them $3.00 to send it to me.
I worked out the odds and it was something like 1 in 30,000 if I played the 3 times maximum per day, for a whole year - that's to win $1.00, not the jackpot. I played for 20 days, got my buck, was happy, and said fuck it, and stopped playing.

Yes, well, some of us, anyway. But, shhhh, keep this quiet, what the others don't know won't hurt them.
Ha ha, this reminds me, has anyone ever gotten clicks from someone's site who signed up under you and stole your HTML code, id tag and all! ha ha. It happened to me, once.
I had a site on a free host several years ago, and had xpics as a sponser, the free server went down the same day the page went up, and I accumulated 1 whole click, prompting xpics to send me a check for .O2 cents. If you're wondering, yes, you're damned right, I cashed that check.

$2.15 if I remember right, from eads.com non-adult program. It sucked, one of the worst stats I've seen, and almost "non-clickable" banners. But I got the check MANY months later, was a suprise for me. I gave it to my girlfriend (no, she didn't cash the check).
I have a $9.99 from a CC billing company for a non-recurring signup I got. I have to pay $15 and wait 30 - 40 days to cash it. Riiight.
I got a check for 81 cents for a stock dividend from GE. It got lost the first time and they asked if I wanted it resent. Hell, if they were asking....
$9 from fuck knows who.
What with exchange rate, commision,etc
I would have had to give the Bank £2.00
just to cash it.
Its in a frame on my wall,First cash I made on the Net! LoL

I got a .03 check a few years ago from a sponsor whose links I could not even find on any of my sites. I think I was drunk when I signed up with them, added a few links on a free hosted site and forgot how the address of the free hosted site. Every once in a while now I still get checks in the range of .09 to .21 from them.
Never bothered to inquire as to WHO what site I was promoting, either. All that effort wouldn't be worth the pennies I've gotten so far. When the checks add up to , say $5, then I'll look into it. I predict that'll happen in the summer of 2013.
