Lottery fraudster denied, real winner foundReply
That is why when I purchase an advance draw ticket and win early on, before I go to claim my small dollar winnings, I write on the front of the ticket how much I won and that draws remain so that as I am handing that SIGNED ticket to the clerk, both she/he and I know the score and even if the person tried to pull this scheme, would be unsuccessful since my info is already entered on the back. It is pretty hard for a Patel to have my name and address as no Patel's live here!!!

Paid only half for win on Mega Millions ticketReply
those clerks are out to garner as much as they can from unaware lottery players. whether buying or cashing it's amazing how many people do not have a clue what they're doing. they put all there faith and trust in either a pimply faced 19 yr old clerk or a foreign one named patel who are working there only because of what they call drops with that lottery machine business. yes, some are greedier than others and there are some honest ones, but i wouldn't trust any of them. educate yourself...

Unhappy with State LotteryReply
tiggs is happy with the Ky lottery here in Ky..He has made many friends with the clerks at each store he buys at..All the Patels are nice to tiggs..Sometimes tiggs comes up short when he get's paid off but it's worth it just to have a Patel wait on him..

Should I report this error or not?Reply
There have been people who've won buying tickets that other people didn't want, but if you'd rather have fresh QPs, the way to get them is to mark 'QP' on the playslip. That way, Mr. Patel can't pull a fast one on you.

Kentucky store clerks indicted for lottery fraudReply
Those pesky Patels, From now on I'll just ask the clerk if his/her name is Patel. If it is I'll run out the door.

Kentucky store clerks indicted for lottery fraudReply
we need a list of convenience stores that are run by anyone named patel..it would probably be in the tens of thousands.. better option is for your scratch and lottery players who can't figure out on your own if you won or not to either stop playing or figure out how to find out if you won and stop relying on store clerks to determine your outcome...

Report him. It's most likely Mr. Patel. And if he tries it again, knock him into next week. Mr. Patel hates that. Hi shygirl, I'm kinda shy my own self too.
