Massachusetts woman accidentally receives $20,000 worth of lottery tickets in the mailReply
I would think the lottery office would know that they did not send that pack to that particular store. Store owner would be in big trouble. License to sell lottery tickets would be revoked. Maybe cops get involved.

Arkansas woman almost gifts winning lottery ticket to ex-father-in-lawReply
Her ex father-in-law is not going to be getting a kick out of this story one would think. I would be seething mad about it that she didn't keep her mouth shut. Now, I have to deal with that the size of a lottery ticket cost me 75K. I would have given her 15K back which is about the amount i think she should give me for blabbing this. This is why giving lottery tickets as gifts is not a good idea. It usually ends with the gift being worthless of course. But sometimes someone gives away a good one

California Lottery announces group as winners of historic $1.765 billion Powerball jackpotReply
Had forgot all about this. Congratulations on their huge win. Too bad they didn't release the numbers of players. Probably 15 or more years ago had printed off their multi-page instructions of what to do with big winning lottery tickets. If memory serves me correctly they will cut up to 50 separate checks. I love that idea and glad this state will too, though they never said how many checks would be cut here!

$36 million Mega Millions ticket sold in Florida goes unclaimedReply
With a medical emergency, checking lottery tickets takes low priority. There was a large number of excess deaths in 2023 in the US, so that increases the odds that the lost prize was due to medical issues. A high number of excess deaths in 2023 also occurred in Canada, New Zealand, Australia, the UK , and other countries.

Florida man arrested after buying $31,000 worth of lottery tickets using company credit cardReply
Perhaps if he can't repay all the money the company may go to small claims court? Now if he hit and injured somebody in this pursuit of lottery tickets, then he'd have jail time since it was in the company truck. Companies don't like unwarranted attention.

California man asks clerk to choose a lottery game for him, ends up picking out a ticket worth $10MReply
I would return the the store and give the clerk 5 thousand dollars. All to often we hear about things happening like this and the clerk never gets any monetary appreciation. I did read one article a few years ago, where an elderly woman always went to the same store to buy lottery tickets. The clerk was always so nice to her so she told the clerk if she ever wins any money on her scratch off tickets she would give the clerk half of the money. Sure enough the lady won $2 on a scratch off and retu

Missouri man unknowingly holds onto Powerball lottery ticket worth $1 million for three monthsReply
No, like someone else said, I think he buys a lot of tickets each week, let them accumulate each month until his alarm goes off. I have read countless stories where people buy tons of tickets each week and keep them in the a certain place and then check them all at one time. I remember one story about a 19 year old guy's mom came into his room one day. She asked him to clean up is room, as he was cleaning his room he found a stack of lottery tickets he had thrown in a corner. He checked the tick
