Never really is. Money is just an allusion.

Can always spot those MD men out of a crowd. They are the classiest, most savvy gentlemen on the planet.

Ah yes, I was an MD man myself when I wasn't drinking the Schnapps.

But of course, only the best that money can buy. 20/20, Mad Dog, Thunderbird and Boone's Farm come to mind as some of the classics I have

sampled as a young lad. As a fine connoisseur of wine yourself, I'm sure you can immediately appreciate these world class vintages.

Too funny mcginnin56, Im a believer also. Now if we can just get a wine dispenser that only require a water supply I think we will really be onto something......... (only the best wine though, please...

OldSchoolPa noticed the word solid earlier this morning, and the word suddenly and without warning, re-transmigrated itself back to sold.

Simply amazing how that works! They say God works in mysterious ways........and now I'm a firm believer.

I never noticed a thing, so it was always a sold ticket to me ..... lol.

Looks like the solid MM's ticket was myseriously transformed back to a sold ticket.

Must have been a bad dream, all is good now.

Yes, they put it back in the pool. But I'm not sure it the entire amount . I think it just a percentage of the win money.

Ronnie316 — Sat, 22 Sep 2012 15:30:01 GMT

They put it back in the prize pool.......... Dont they

To the person who win on this Mega Ball Ticket just about 7 month ago, go back to the purse , the wallet, the drawer , over the sunviser in your car, ect. It is time to backtrace. It would be ashame for the Maryland Lottery to get this money back.

This happens a lot of time. Maybe the holder of this ticket forgot to check the winning numbers. I just hope that he/she would be able to get the prize before its to late.

The owner of the winning ticket may have used one of those self checking machines that sometimes tell you that your ticket is NOT a winner.I think that the lottery's make a lot of extra money with those machines.

mcginnin56 — Sat, 22 Sep 2012 12:22:18 GMT

Wow!! So that winning ticket wasn't sold after all. Nice catch OSP.

Then what's all this fuss about?

There is no expiration on a solid ticket, that I'm aware of. That's great news for the lucky ticket holder

Nikki you have a very poor sense of humor. You need to get out more often, lighten up and let loose once in a while. Are you always so serious

OldSchoolPa — Sat, 22 Sep 2012 10:09:52 GMT

I am guessing the title should read $250,000 Mega Millions ticket SOLD in Maryland expires next week ...now that is solid

I bet it was the lady who said she had the winning ticket...those McDonald's managers and employees might want to scour the restaurant she used to work! LOL

Thats kinda like what i was getting at,

the elusive ticket, is like the

elusive receipt, the one you're looking for.

Comment #11

Ronnie316 — Sat, 22 Sep 2012 00:47:35 GMT

I throw receipts away all the time so finding one I need is like winning the lottery. lol. lol.

Comment #10

haymaker — Sat, 22 Sep 2012 00:42:00 GMT

Was thinking about the thread 4 hrs. ago when I was digging through my garage trashbag looking for a receipt,

the receipt you need is always the one you can't find,

now is there a way to turn that into a winning formula

Ronnie316 — Fri, 21 Sep 2012 23:43:40 GMT

Or the car was wrecked and sits permanently in the wrecking yard. Talk about bad luck

Comment #8

Ronnie316 — Fri, 21 Sep 2012 23:42:10 GMT

It happens when someone frequently buys tickets and cant keep them sorted out. lol. lol.

Comment #7

mcginnin56 — Fri, 21 Sep 2012 23:39:23 GMT

Can you blame them? I would be ashamed and humiliated to come so close. Better to just let that $250K roll back into the next jackpot.

Not much you can do with that chump change nowadays anyways.

Comment #6

RJOh — Fri, 21 Sep 2012 23:35:16 GMT

Probably was won by someone who so disappointed at coming so close to winning the largest jackpot ever that they weren't interested in collecting a mere $250K.

Comment #5

mcginnin56 — Fri, 21 Sep 2012 22:42:31 GMT

That would be a major bummer for life.

Comment #4

maringoman — Fri, 21 Sep 2012 18:44:47 GMT

I'm hoping that the owner cashes on time or the ticket is never found and the owner never knows they won because it would hurt hurt hurt

Comment #3

zinniagirl — Fri, 21 Sep 2012 15:49:18 GMT

It was probably a ticket bought while passing through. Thrown in the glove box. Thrown away when cleaning out the glove box.

This is crazy to me. If you're going to the trouble of buying a ticket to win the lottery, how do you just misplace your tickets before verifying them
