She should have taken it to the safe deposit box or turn in the ticket .

Never could understand why people walk around with their ticket.

Easy way to losing it.

I can see not cashing a multi thousand dollar ticket for a couple weeks but I don't think I'd drag it around in one of my bags the whole time.

At any rate, it's an awesome win and I'm happy for her.

Okay, makes sense. I can see the glow of the screen on the side. (I knew it wasn't a piece.) That must be a regional fashion.

Her mask makes her a little more obscure. I will keep this in mind

He's cellphone. The lottery is not going to allow someone to openly display a firearm on their premises, unless they are security. Besides, l doubt he is fast enough in a draw, whether he thinks he is Johnny Ringo or not.

Funny photo, her with a mask on and him without. Congrats to Pam, and maybe to Jim, but only if he behaves.

Anyone able to tell what's clipped to his pocket

Two weeks? Isn't that like wearing the same pants or shirt for two weeks because you afraid you may mislay it?

Which reminds me.. Bert: l mislaid my ticket. Ernie: Check your other pants. Bert: l don't have another pants.

Good for her, great win.

After Beauchamp scratched off the ticket, she thought she'd won something like, maybe, $5,000.
