I feel the same way. One second sooner or later, one ticket before or after or another location can make a big difference between winning or not winning.

If it's meant to be, it will be.

With some of the News articles here on LP about clerks going through instant tickets, making pin holes to see if they are winners, etc...if you went to a lottery counter and saw unsold tickets not on a roll what would you think?

If the clerk said Someone didn't want that one or those .....

Being the recipient of good fortune either accidentally or unintentionally is simply due to one's location and/or timing. I guess he was in the right place at the right time

Where I buy my tix I've asked the clerk (owner) what ticket number a ticket is. She won't sell them out of order, but if I don't like the number I don't have to buy it.

I don't think you can even do that in Illinois. You certainly can't do it with machines and I don't know if the clerks would go for it, it's just the next ticket off the roll as far as I know.

I remember a store that I used to go to the store clerk got mad because I asked her what number a certain scratch-off was on. She said it doesn't matter and slows here line down when customers do that. I said fine and took my business else where.

Another young lotto winner! I'm sure the lotto likes seeing a younger generation playing as well.

I didn't think people in their twenties even played the lottery.

with Bleudog101 and congratulate this 22-year-old anonymous winner.

I am a jerk Jealous, Envious, Resentful, and a Kill Joy. LOL

At least Mega Millions is climbing into decent territory for winning.

Bleudog101, I am trying to get into an exercise regime in the mornings so I might have to wait until mid-morning to read new posts.

A Michigan man's lottery strategy doesn't seem so odd anymore after winning $2 million on a Michigan Lottery instant ticket.

The 22-year-old, who chose to remain anonymous, told the Michigan Lottery he likes playing instant games, but only buys odd-numbered tickets.

His strategy paid off when he purchased a Diamond Dazzler ticket at the Busatti Party store at 12868 Eureka Road in Southgate.

The Diamond Dazzler game is my favorite, so I asked the clerk what number the ticket was. When... [ More ]
