I went to get my Fantasy 5 at 10:15PM and the clerk told me lotto close. I said no it cuts off at 10:55PM and he said he closed it come back at 11. Never in all my years have I been told the machine is closed off well before the cut off date. It felt weirdly suspicious. 

I think I'll call the office and ask them if retailers can cut off the machines whenever they want.

Is this the universe helping me? Everything does happen for a reason is what I believe. So I ended up going to another retailer and sure enough I was able to get my Fantasy because it was well before 10:55PM. What if I win this way? I mean it's probably not gonna happen but it would be a cool story to tell them.

I can already see the headline:
