You don't have a gambling problem. You have a winning problem.

I often I often wonder if I've ever accidentally thrown away a big winner.

Maybe he had his significant other or a young child scratch it, thought it wasn't a winner, tossed it with a few other non winners in the trash before he was able to double check it. My wife has found a winner on one of mine and vice-versa that we had each missed....I could see the mistake easily happening... good catch, congrats and enjoy

Why not just scan it right away after you buy it.

Cureington said he rescued the ticket, purchased from the Muse Food Mart in Monroe, from the trash to double-check it

If he had to double-check it, why did he have somebody check it in the first place

Doubt its me. I do this daily inside the Pilot store. One day a well heeled woman was playing over and over again the lottery machine. There is an ATM right next to it--how convenient. Anyway I went through all her tickets and there was a $200 winner. Took it to another store to cash it and this guy says that's my ticket. You know I told him off, darn liar.

There's a guy on the you tube who goes dumpster diving for discarded scratch offs and finds winners
