2222 is already sold out here...wanted it for Palindrome day 2-2-22. But I may try @ the store since it is different with a playslip vs. playing on-line.

First thing I've ever printed off of Lottery Post!

You made my day.

Had the clerk play Cashball 225 instead of the machine and driving out there were three Palindrome tags on cars in the parking spots (out of four vehicles

Blame it on Mercury retrograde. Things tend to break down and get lost during Mercury retrograde. Mercury recently turned direct which is when Maya found her winning lottery ticket.

My favorite Palindrome song was Sit on a potato pan Otis.

One of the reasons that things are in the last place you looked is because after you find what you were looking for, you stop looking

She is in her 30s, so lots of time i hope, to enjoy,and save some for a rainy day. and invest some.

Great job. Moving and happen to find it, etc., that's a blessing. Even after NC take out a truckload of taxes, she is still going to have a better 2022 beyond i hope.

Have to put those tickets up. and or check it ASAP (same evening/following morning) Yep.

My father always remind me of it, with all of my wins in P4, i have a habit of that. Glad she found it.

Agreed. Who says things like weather gal? Pretty insulting and comments like that diminish all women.

I have watched her videos and she is a very professional lottery news presenter and investigative journalist.

Congrats Ana !!!!!

Now I am slightly perplexed by some of her modus operandi....

the elusive ticket finally turned up on Tuesday in one of her old high school notebooks,a spot Maya said she likely placed the ticket in for safekeeping.

I was very, very relieved when I finally found it Maya said. That was the last place I would have looked .

A legal document worth $346,005.00 ? .....Well(scratching head).... that sure is a unique way of handling finances..... BUT, You have your money... [ More ]

Boy, If I knew I had a big winning ticket I know exactly where it would be! I've never had one.

It all turned out OK for her anyway...doesn't say if she somehow marked the box she put it in and still lost track of it or if she just put it somewhere with out putting some kind of marking on the box.

Seems like one of those times when 5 seconds would have saved a lot of hassle.

QP again ruled the day.

Could you imagine the horror she went through looking for that little piece of paper?

OTOH GA had a nice Palindrome last night...2112 which paid out just over $4.5 million for those lucky players

Lucky woman narrowly escapes every lottery player's worst nightmare

By Kate Northrop

A North Carolina Lottery player claimed a half-million Cash 5 jackpot just in time after losing the winning ticket for months.

Ana Maya of Graham nearly lost out on a Cash 5 jackpot worth $532,234 when her winning ticket went missing in a moving fiasco, but the ticket luckily resurfaced from an odd hiding spot.

The 32-year-old customer service employee stopped at Huff's Interstate on Maple Aven... [ More ]
