If a clerk ever prints the wrong ticket for a game I didn't ask for (which has happened before) I always take that ticket too cause you never know.

Remember children!

For every mistake winner of $100,000, there are 100,000 other mistake tickets that did not work. You never hear of the losers.

Mistakes are the smae as any other ticket and the same amount of luck. I must have bought around 100 mistakes so far and not one was a winner.

I also try to buy mistake tickets as well just in case--however some times when I've gone to a lottery store and the machine for some reason isn't working, I assume it might be just fate or lottery karma that would not allow me to buy the ticket at that particular store, at that particular time and therefore force me to go to another store to try my luck or it could have been the other way around and I totally missed out buying THE winning ticket--You never know and like I said before--IT'S JUST...

Hey Tiggs95 when was the last time you bought a QP or a scratch-off ?????????I don't mean to offend you or are you waiting for the wind to blow a lottery ticket to your front door that someone lost................ if it is all luck I don't need to buy a ticket.........correct

Im with you . Im beginning to think that its not about luck. its about destiny, your personal fate. I think about not just lottery but all the things in life that just HAPPEN to people. job, family lottery, cancer. In terms of the lottery, I think of someone lets say like Bob Sehsted. It was so called luck that he won that 500k right, but look at how many clerks cheat customers out of winnings. But in his case the clerk signed the ticket and presented it like anyone else. What would make the lot... [ More ]

Amen to that. I always buy those, including when the clerk prints the wrong tix for the customer in front of me.

I always buy mistake tickets. There was a girl at this local store I buy my lottery tickets at and one day I asked her for a $10 Hoosier Lotto quickpick. The machine spit out the $10 ticket, but then I saw another $1 ticket come out. I don't what she did to make that happen, she did it by accident. Anyway, she set it aside and brought the $10 ticket over, and I said Hey, I'll take that ticket too . LOL. Honestly, I'd much rather be the person that bought the mistake ticket than the person that d... [ More ]

Truer words have never been spoken. That's why I'm gonna go and buy some qp's right now along with some scratch-offs, AND I'm gonna do it in SWAHILI, a language I've never spoken. All part of my new money-making strategy to confuse and mesmerize the hapless clerk.

Wish me luck, y'all!!

That's funny Tiggs, you and I were just talking about those lucky mistakes the other day on another thread. I could use a big mistake or two right about now.

Maybe I'll try mumbling the next time I ask for a ticket and they'll accidentally give me a winner. If I win big I'll write a book about it and title it The Mumbling Factor, subtitled How To Become Rich And Famous Through Strategic Mumbling. Guaranteed blockbuster. Maybe I should start writing it now just in case.

Like I have said over and over you win more by mistakes and QP's..Luck is all this game is..There is no way you can handicap ping pong balls and scratchoffs..People are probably sick of me writing this but that's what lottery is luck..People can keep track of what numbers have not come in but it's all luck..I'm out..

Clerk's error makes N.J. man a $100,000 winner

A Bridgeton, New Jersey, resident has a store clerk's error to thank for his purchase of a scratch-off lottery ticket worth $100,000.

Indian Fields Market sold the winning Aces High scratch-off lottery ticket Monday night, store owner Domenic Galle said.

The guy really didn't ask for that ticket, Galle said. The clerk gave him that ticket by mistake. He asked for Deuces Wild.

The clerk realized her mistake after the customer left the store.

She said, 'I gave the man the wrong tick... [ More ]
