Being stupid should hurt. If you're driving to lottery HQ to claim anything significant and just stick the tick in he glove compartment or center console you derserve whatever misfortune results.

I didn't specify how the ticket ended in the car. Maybe your wallet fell out of your pocket when you crawled out the broken windshield. Maybe you had it... [ More ]

What is it with folks who give a thread ONE star,obviously letting us know they do not approve, and then adding a comment? It's like being invited to a wedding,you show up,eat, drink and then complain about not seeing your favourite booze, or better yet there is not being enough peas in the curry

Remember during the billion dollar drawing some idiot called his mom at work and told her she had won? It was a bad joke. What a terrible thing to do.

OMG! Then you spend the next couple of DAYS feeling like you should be a jackpot winner. Hard to go to work the next day as it would feel like you shouldn't be there.

Watching ALL your numbers being drawn, you cannot believe it finally happened. You start shaking violently.The wife taps you on the forehead and ask Honey,are you alright? .. you open your eyes to darkness,you turn your head sideways and the clock on the nightstand reads 2:43am Yep,it was all a dream.

unjust enrichment for the lottery.

That argument might apply just as well to skimming 50% before they even give you a chance to win some of the prize money, but those are the rules. I agree completely that there should b... [ More ]

That would be a good argument for signing the ticket, especially if it ends up winning the jackpot.

Actually winning a major jackpot like last night's PB. All of a sudden thousands of people you've never met and have no wish to ever meet think you have something they deserve more and will want to angeredly tell you so.

If you can prove that you are a victim of a robbery and that you did indeed buy the winning ticket, to not allow payment would be unjust enrichment for the lottery. I think the jury and the courts would side with the victim no matter what the lottery claims.

I agree with you but in Wisconsin, no ticket means no cash. Without exception.

I think losing it or being robbed. I would easily be able to prove it was me who bought the ticket and would sue the hell out of the lottery if they didnt fork over the loot. But, who needs the hassle

That would be a bummer, but it would definitely be worse if you were in that car too.

I think that the idea of a bad scenario is the worst that you can get!

Play no number before it's time, but when it's time: Play It

Doing homework on a number, really going in.

Figure it to be, 394 on midday draw.

Feeling like, I need to send a SOS, so I text every body I know to play it.

I was just feeling hyped on the number.

I get to work, see the midday draw! 394 hits, look at my tickets, I didn't play it ?

That still haunts me, but, it's not the first time I did that, and it will not be the last.

I played, 969 Friday night, it hit last night, of course, you know the rest of the story.

Good Luck... [ More ]

On top of going to the hospital she lost out on a lottery jackpot? IMO there's nothing lucky about that number, I'd drop it too.

This happened recently to a co-worker's relative who had played a number for years and she had to be admitted to the hospital and you guessed it her number hit and she did not play that night.

...she was sicker than what she was in the hospital for...she is still playing the same number hoping it will hit again...I'd give it up if I were her get another one to hang onto

Having the numbers I've been playing for years win, the day after I changed them. LOL
