Weird, I've never seen a $30 ticket in a CT vending machine. Their usually behind the clerks.

Congratulations to this thrilled winner!

In some states, the lottery ticket vending machines don't give change!

Consequently, I wonder if this man put in two $20 bills and only punched and received the $30 valued ticket. Regardless, in this case -- since this regular big-ticket gambler won several thousand dollars -- he probably doesn't care

The New York lottery has a subscription service, but you must have a New York state address to participate.

Bob Sabo, of Easton, says he didn't want to wait in line to buy a lottery ticket.

Well, Bob and anyone else who doesn't want to wait in line, or queue as they say here, subscriptions are the answer.

If your state doesn't offer a subscription service, you can subscribe to Megabucks Doubler from the Massachusetts Lottery from anywhere in the United States.

I agree! I don't think I've ever won a dime on anything I bought by mistake.

I bought some extra draw tickets with a small win last Friday. I asked for 10 PB 10 Hot Lotto and 5 Lucky for Life. She printed 10 LFL on the one ticket, so I bought it. I can't stand to leave mistake tickets that were printed for me, but never buy other's mistake tickets.

I didn't win a thing on the extra PB and HL tickets, but I'm hoping to win at least $10 on LFL tonight just to make up for her mistake. But I... [ More ]

It seems that some people get rewarded for their mistakes. My mistakes get me fully punished. For example the day I wake up late is the day the highway is literally a parking lot and then I get rained on as I sprint through the parking lot at work. Also my boss notices that I'm late. My life sucks

Man forgets glasses, mistakenly buys winning lottery ticket

A man in southwestern Connecticut who mistakenly bought the wrong lottery ticket is $30,000 wealthier.

Bob Sabo, of Easton, says he didn't want to wait in line to buy a lottery ticket at the Super Stop Shop in Fairfield, so he decided to buy a ticket from a lottery vending machine - something he had previously never done.

Sabo says he meant to buy two $20 tickets, but says he didn't have his glasses on and instead bought a $30 ticket.

When I got home and scratched the 30X ticket, I cou... [ More ]
