Man visits his favorite convenience store to purchase his regular lottery tickets. Upon reviewing his tickets, which were QP's, he notices that one of his tickets contains mostly repeating numbers and becomes very angered. He complained to the clerk and refused to pay for the set of tickets. The clerk simply replied, "Sir, once I print out the tickets I cannot take them back...and you must pay for them. I'm very sorry about the repetitive numbers". "Well, I'm not paying for this bogus set of tickets!!!!" said the man.

A customer behind the angered man saw what was happening and that the man was very disgruntled with the situation. The customer then kindly said," Sir, I'd be more than happy to purchase that bad run of numbers from you if it'll make you feel better and speed things up. I just got off work, I'm late for dinner, and my wife is really upset with me right now".The angry customer agreed to the deal, sold the tickets, and purchased another set of tickets which he was content with. The guy behind him just rushed out of the store with the tickets he bought.

The next day, after the drawing, it was revealed that (2) tickets matched the winning numbers for the jackpot and that they were sold at that particular store along with the time.Well, the angered customer immediately rushed back to the store where he sold his numbers and purchased new ones. He ran into the store out of breathe asking the clerk, "Do you have a way of finding out if the winning numbers were purchased before or after the ones I bought? The clerk, recognizing his customer and extremely excited that his store sold (2) winning tickets, and, that this might be the winner replies, "Yes, Sir!!!!! I can absolutely check this for you!!!!"

After running the tickets, it was discovered that the angry man wasn't the winner and that the winning tickets were sold just before his sequence of tickets. This series of events proved to become even more interesting as the man who purchased the bad run of tickets bursted into the store, dancing, yelling and screaming, " I won, I won, I won....I can't believe I won!!!!! MY FIRST TIME EVER PLAYING and I won!!!!! I bought someone else's mistake and won!!!!!!!"

It has been reported that the angered man is still under very heavy sedation and suicide watch. First degree assault charges were filed against the man for severely beating both the clerk and the man he sold his tickets to...with a lottery ticket scanner.
