Kentucky man thought he won lottery jackpot

They do make most of the losing tickets to look like you just missed a prize to get you excited that maybe the next one will be the one. Crosswords giving 2 words when you need 3 and just one key letter missing (I made a program to double-check these) or Bingo tickets leaving one number short in several lines. The tickets are predetermined as losers but "programmed" to come just one symbol short. I guess it has to balance out because there was the guy who thought he won $3 or so but it was the top prize and he was wondering why the clerk was sending him to the Lottery HQ.

"I scratched it off. I went through see I won ten dollars, scratched the last one off, I thought I won 100,000 dollars. My wife, thought I won, daughter the same way, I showed my parents they thought we won too," he adds.

He learned a valuable lesson, thinking you've won doesn't count for much even if your family members agree with you.

oooh, i had one of those slick scratch offs before - some tic tac toe game .. but the winning Xs where supposed to be in italics as opposed to the losing ones that were straight up - this is some crap

You just have to be smart enough to read the instructions on the tickets...or in this guys case look at the pictures.If the pictures don't match,you don't win.Seems simple enough to me.
