Ahhh, but their memory loss resulted in a twenty seven million dollar jackpot.  Pretty good memory lapse.  Memorize numbers and loose. Don't memorize numbers and win $27M.  Hummm.  Which option worked out?

I can see how you could lose numbers. I use the same playslip every week. I check the numbers by entering them in a lottery tracking program and liet it tell me if I won. If I lost the play slip and couldn't get home to copy the numbers out of the program I would have to do what they did. I don't memorize my numbers for the same reason mentioned earlier with cell phones, why memorize when I can push a button. Lazy, I know, but what the heck.

I doubt if it was a memory problem when you play the same numbers for 10 years.  My guess is that one day they forgot their card and played a quick pic and the they got a hit of some sort,  so they road the QP lucky streak and gave up on their numbers....anyway here they are with 27 million on a QP,,,and all we want know is how they could "loose" their regular numbers....

Congrats

people that grow old together look the same . it's true.

Etobicoke? Where the heck is that? Is it the place just north of Diet Etobicoke?

The solution would be to have your program and the data it needs on a Pocket PC, as I have mine. As long as I (clunk!) remember to bring the Pocket PC with me! Or on a laptop PC, but Pocket PC is more convenient when you are filling betslips on the coffee-stained counter of the ELE7VEN.

Future News article: "coffee stain on betslip leads to big win!"

No one believes this story because every avid lottery player knows its a lie, no advid lottery player ever forgets his numbers, who ever wrote this article needs tp be shot! 

Wouldn't surprise me, I'm sure that the lottery commission likes the winner to have a "good story" since it'd get more attention than just someone won, came in, answered a few questions and really had nothing of value to really say.

i didn't want the person that wrote the article shot, i wanted the dingbat couple shot for lying .. but now that you say it, that's believable .. but the couple could easy come up and dispute that, no? i just think the couple either did not play those number for 10years [maybe 10 days] and forgot or not as frequently as they would have us believe, maybe once a year [that would be believable] but like you mentioned, if you are an avid player, you [allow me to get ebonics/hell i'm half black so it's cool] 'YOU AIN'T EVER NOT NEVER EVER GONNA LOSE YO DIGITS'
