This whole time I never knew F5 tickets could be cancelled/canceled. In the past, whenever a mistake was made, clerks would tell me it can't be voided. They don't*** try to force me to buy it but I always buy the mistake anyway because your brain automatically thinks "what if this was the universe trying to help you win" obviously I've never won with a mistake before.

Anyways, I handed her the slip and she did something wrong because the total I saw on the screen was wrong. So she ran the tickets back through the machine and I see cancelled/canceled pop up on the machine.

Now that I know they can be voided I'm in a pickle because if mistakes happen again what do I do? If the mistake stays within my budget I'll buy it/them. Everything happens for a reason.

*** I will say though, one time I had gotten three numbers so I decided to just buy more tickets with the winnings since the prize amount was less than $15. I made sure to tell the clerk that I am paying with the winnings. However, the clerk ran the bet slip first so the numbers printed. He then ran the winning ticket but it wasn't registering. He gave it back to me and I scanned it with the app and showed him the winnings. He took it back and it still wouldn't process. So then the manager started to yell at me that I have to pay for the ticket. I said I'm paying with the winnings. It's not my fault the machine isn't processing it. I could have just paid out of pocket but I didn't appreciate his uncalled for attitude. The fact that he had gotten so heated reinforced to me that tickets can't be voided but come to find out that they can be so I don't know what that was all about. 

But also, being the manager, I'm not sure why he didn't just type the ticket code into the machine. Sometimes a ticket doesn't register when they filter it through the machine and the clerk would just type in the ticket code and then I hear the winner sound. So there was no need for him to come at me like that!
