I ment to say played his Lottery slips again not the actual ticket. When you are a regular they give you a plastic pouch to Keep your play slips so you can easily replay it And then he decides to Cash one ticket first so he can test his arrangement and not be overwhelmed but later he be back to get the second half lol maybe one ticket Annuity the other ticket Lump sum or even better he can put the second ticket as a Group ticket for his family so his name won't be on it so don't be surprised if...

This makes the most sense.

Went back for more gas or booze

Almost impossible for 2 QP tickets to have the same numbers and Mega Ball as well.

21, 26, 53, 66, and 70, with Mega Ball number 13

1st 2 and MB could be birth days of the month while 53/66/70 could be birth years

Not sure if Cali has the option to replay previous tickets. I have brought in multiple tickets to be replayed and the clerk has messed up and scanned the same ticket twice on multiple occasions, sometimes they noticed their mistake sometimes not. I still took the duplicates....you never know

l can Bet my life that it is not a quick pick except one condition .And that condition is if the first one was a quick pick and he manually made a duplicate of that quick pick then that is possible because he created the opportunity but however it is impossible for both tickets to be quick pick from the same store . The only way a quick pick could even be a possibility is if he first bought the quick pick then manually duplicated it. But if you ask me what happened l will tell you that this guy

I've had a clerk accidentally run my payslip twice. I have played the same numbers twice hoping to get two small jackpots if nothing else. I have also purchased two separate payslips to hopefully share with a friend if I won. So anything is possible. I just wish Ca would be more transparent on whether they were quick pics or not.

l will tell you exactly what l think most likely the same person bought both tickets and he is going to use one ticket for Lump sum and the other ticket for Annuity Congratulations twice

Unless both tickets were quick picks. And if so extremely incredible two winners from the same location. Considering how many terminals there are

The best explanation I can think of is that someone played their numbers and left the slip behind and someone else played the same numbers as well and it just happened to be a winner. I say that because I have done just that lol. I always play quick pick and every now and then when I walk into a lottery machine I'd find a completed slip someone just played and left behind. I see it as a sign and just use the same slip to play the toss it away. It doesn't happen often but it did happen in the pas... [ More ]
