There was maybe all of $2 in change in this box at best, so I figured I'll ask if I can put $1 in and get that 35 cents. He said YES! I was stoked. In one day I bought a $1 scratcher that got me $11, found at the time what was about $12 worth of silver, and bought my wife and I lunch with the rest of the money.</p><p><br /></p><p>Edit: I forgot to mention that the counter where you cash you tickets in was maybe all of 5 paces from a CoinStar.
