This in itself should justify Iowa disbanding their lottery. You folks are eating too much corn out there

Could be a bunch of cons also trying anything they can to get the jackpot. If you play the lottery and are irresponsible with your ticket, and do not expect to win, then you don't deserve to anyway. In 16 years of playing I have never once misplaced a ticket, or lost one. Not even a Pick 3 ticket. So there is no excuse except stupidity.

It's likely you would lose with either set of numbers but I think you would have a better chance of winning with your own numbers then with the numbers some clerk punched in by mistake.

Well I hope you win DD and get a better leash on life. (groan) I'd sure like to hear you have a happier tail to tell. (bigger groan) I think your time is very near...I can feel it in my bones. (even worse groan... pun ishment)

BTW, if you do win, I hope you don't mind if I hound you for a little money. Or am I barking up the wrong tree

Iowa Lottery CEO Ed Stanek said a Minnesota woman who was traveling through Iowa said she left her ticket on her car's dashboard while she was in the store and her dog ate her ticket.

LOL!! I've heard my dog ate my homework, but never this excuse. Regarding the ability to read cards, I've had the same problem. Scary story about the clerk punching in the numbers. That happened to me last year at 7-11. I stopped buying tickets at that store because of the numerous times something went wr... [ More ]

I buy 12pack of Sharpie black permanent markers and always use them to mark my cards but some times the terminal get marks within them that effect their ability to read a card.

He couldn't remember the details of the purchase or the day that it took place because he'd had a head injury nine years earlier and it affected his memory, Stanek said.

Yet he could remember that he bought a ticket............

I could have had a story just as silly last evening for the Ohio Rolling Cash5 and it would have been true.

I played 15 lines on three cards and I noticed the clerk had trouble with one of the cards and punched in the numbers manually. When I checked my tickets after the drawings my computer showed I should have matched 3 for $10 on one ticket and matched 2 on the third ticket for $1 but the clerk had punched in all the numbers one number back for that card.

I rechecked my cards and th... [ More ]

With the largest Powerball jackpot ever won in Iowa, there were several ticket-holders who had wishful thinking.

The Iowa Lottery said Wednesday that since the winning numbers were drawn it has been flooded with callers trying to explain why they were winners but could not produce their winning ticket.

We had already validated the ticket. I was still receiving phone calls saying, 'Are you sure that is their ticket. Are you sure that's the winning ticket?' said the Iowa Lottery's Tina Po... [ More ]
