Maryland woman's winning lottery ticket mistake

I feel sorry for Donna that she didn't win the lottery's bigger prizes yet. She shouldn't be paid what she's attempting to force though. If she and her husband are out of work, perhaps they won't be able to afford playing as often as they used to from now on. Desperation and gambling/chance taking are an unhappy mix, though quite common worldwide.

Anyhow, you are right, Simba774, it would be a shame to lose the convenience, but perhaps lottery #s should cease to be publicized in writing (in n... [ More ]

Wow, again? First the paper, now the website. People may think it's funny, but it's not. It never happened to me, but I would not want to experience that.

Because there are no consequences for incompetence in liberal institutions like government or the mainstream news media. They get promoted.

It's like trying to explain why libs hold rallies and candlelight vigils to stop mass murderering, butchering maniac rapists from being executed.

Liberalism is a brain defect.

Your right, it was 556. I played 115 and had that in mind when I was posting.

Sorry about that.

115 didn't even win that day in Maryland. The Pick-3 numbers were 394 midday and 556 evening.

I had some trouble following the story, so I watched the lottery drawing on the Maryland Lottery website (under MDLottery TV Evening Drawings) on the state lottery's website. The number was 3574. Two other websites that give lottery results for the entire U.S. still have 4157 as the winning number.

Enjoy life like sweet tiggs...

Ok, sweet tiggs, sweet ridge will try to enjoy life like sweet tiggs.

Right after I re-deliver all the mail to it's proper recipients everyday after it is put in my box. It's easier than going all the way to town to the post office. And leaving it til the next day in my mail box doesn't work cuz they won't even look at it.

That's all well and good but the problem is when they deliver my mail to the McNutts down the mountain or to Mulehead Jenkins up aroun... [ More ]

Hi Litebets 27, If you miss the #'s, google maryland lottery, then click on MD LOTTERY TV, then click on MD LOTTERY TV a second time and select your game from the the drop down menu. You can then watch a replay of the live drawing. You can go back 50 drawings for the pick 3 4. No more wrong posts.

This will also work for other states. Good Luck

Maybe she should have watched the live draw on tv? She checks the numbers 5 mins after they go off? Wonder if it's televised or if this is a midday draw or something

Yikes, that would make me sick, I hope her number falls.

I watched that drawing that night and was ticked that it was so close to my 4376. When I checked the lottery post results it had posted the wrong number. I then went to the MDSL official site. Not only did they post the 4 digit wrong, but they had the 3 digit 115 posted on for midday and night.

What a mess.

One wonders why the most incompetent people in the world always wind up working for government or government agencies.

And there never seems to be any accountability for any of their daily clusterflux or incompetencies.

It's just like the mailmen who can't seem to match the number on the letter to the number on the box. It's just too difficult for them or they simply don't care because they know nothing can be done to them anyway.

This could all be remedied by accountability measures.... [ More ]

What we the lotto players seem to forget is that these lottery commisions are not our families or friends.

They are out to get us for all our worth. Sure they will pretend to care by including a number to call if you

have a problem with gambling and thats only because they are legally required to do so. And they dont

have to be nice either because they dont have any real competitors other than a few scattered casinos.

This woman deserves to be given something for the emotional stres... [ More ]

Unfortunate error. But who sits by the TV waiting for the numbers to come up? I just can't live like that. It feeds into the lottery hysteria. I prefer to just buy ticket and check ticket next day absent the suspense of the drawing. Much easier to see that no one won so don't get hopes up. I know p4 is different as anyone can win and their is no accumulating jackpot, but still. Feel bad for the lady, but almost is not good enough. Just like I almost purchased the winning Mega Millions and Powerb... [ More ]

I thought it was a mistake the time that I won $100 in Powerball.

I hope that she actually wins someday! Sounds like she could use some extra cash!

I hope that my recent dream of winning a jackpot comes true on Friday

Maryland woman's winning lottery ticket mistake

Lottery Post — Wed, 21 Sep 2011 14:34:30 GMT

Includes video report

Many of us have had the dream. We've imagined what it would be like to have a winning lottery ticket in hand.

A Maryland woman thought she was getting just a little taste of that dream. But it turned out it was all a mistake.

You see, Donna Allen loves to play the lottery. She checks the numbers right after the drawing.

Saturday night, just like any other night, I checked at ten after 8pm and it said 4157, says Allen.

It appeared she had a winning ticket... [ More ]
