Wednesday June 29th, 2005I understand how easy this can happen. I run two Lottery Pools. One is the Mega Million and I have 26 people in the current drawing.

This is one case where the person buying the tickets for the pool will be thanked for making a mistake. I wonder if they will pool money after this win and tell that person to go make another mistake.

May sound like sour grapes but northern ohio in the Toledo and Cleveland areas does win quite a bit. Be nice to see it happen in Southern Ohio a little more often. I know people who won't play due to the disappointment with the distribution. Happy lottery gaming.

This is when you know it's your time, when you play the wrong game and hit ! I bet the person they sent to get the tix felt awful until the numbers came out, now he/she is the other's bestest friend. DD
