LMAO, with her rationale of safe keeping I'm willing to bet she goes to the bank with the check and has them pay her in rolled coin.

Put it in an envelope. Put it in a nice safe place you know where it would be found and don't tell anyone.

IDK about NCEL, but Instant on-line tickets here are different than those you can be in the store. They are not available as both on-line or physical tickets.

Yes, on-line in KY is great but not sure when it purges previous purchases. After inactivity have noticed the Replay last purchase will not work.

Remember that her ticket is a physical, not a virtual ticket.

safe deposit boxes

If I win a jackpot the ticket will definitely spend some time in my bank's vault while I get things squared away, but how long do you need to hang on to a ticket that's worth 100k? I doubt many people will spend money consulting various professionals or creating an LLC or trust, so about the worst case is winning late on Friday and waiting through a holiday weekend to claim on Tuesday morning.

The safest way to play is online. You can't loose your ticket, your ticket is automatically checked, with prize money credited to your online account. The Western Australia State Lottery is a perfect example. It has a great App, where you can store your chosen numbers. To enter your stored numbers, just press PLAY, REVIEW and CONFIRM. I couldn't go back to paper tickets.

Put your winning tickets in a safe place!

By Kate Northrop

A North Carolina Lottery player won $100,000 from a scratch-off and thought to put her winning ticket in the most secure spot imaginable taped onto her leg.

Pamela Lunsford of Rosman was elated to find out that her scratch-off lottery ticket was worth a $100,000 prize but was even more worried about the prospect of misplacing it. So, she taped it to her leg.

I can lose a purse or a book bag, but I can't lose my leg, Lun... [ More ]
