That's a good idea! I've heard it here before, but just never thought about it too much. Although I'd be afraid the ticket would get wet and fall apart, even after using ziploc bags. Maybe stick it in a jar in the freezer? Then it would still get wet from the cold, hmm....

As for under the dog - I'd be afraid he'd rip it apart!!! Maybe they just said that so people would be aware that they have a rottweiler

This is going to sound crazy, but I'd put the winning ticket in the freezer.

A friend survived a house fire when she was a kid. Said almost everything they owned was destroyed by fire, smoke, or water. However, the contents inside their freezer were nearly pristene and even still cool to the touch. The freezer had offered good protection from both fire and water damage.

Ever since then, her family keeps certain important documents in the freezer for protection.

Ditto.

I wouldn't have it under my dog, I'd have it in the nightstand under my 45.

Under the Dog, really? I'd be affraid the dog would smell it out and tear it to shreds more than someone breaking in and taking the ticket.

I still can't figure out why the heck people choose to give a story when they claim their prize. Why not try to stay annonoymus. Also why do people feel they have to hide the ticket until they cash it? I mean its ur house and if u didn't blab ur trap about the win, then u don't need to hide anything. Why would u put your ticket beneath ur dog(why is he in ur bed any way is beyond me) what if he pissed or craped on the ticket..

She said their daughter Jessie, 12, had been grounded for staying out too late, but her husband caved in and let her hang out with friends.

To make amends to his wife, Rudy Holzknecht went to p... [ More ]
