Gratefully, there are still honest folk out here where integrity means more than someone else's money; there areno options

So if I never hit the big one at least I can hope to someday have enough money to have a housekeeper and enough to buy $30 scratch offs with no rush to play them .

And the rest of the story is...............................she ripped through the cash option and wished she didn't.

Story made me look up an old story from 1999. A divorced Nanny in MA won millions on the predecessor to Mega Millions...The Big Game and took the cash option.

Where I live we have an app that scans the barcode on the ticket and you can save the ticket on the app. If it's a winner you get a notification.

I see how a scratch card can be easily forgotten maybe, but like you've said, not a $30 scratcher lol

If you're not a daily conditioned lottery player it is common to get distracted and forget about a ticket. But a 30.00 scratch ticket you would think would be an exception to that.

It still amazes me how people do that. It's like going to work and forgetting to check if you got paid for the work you did. How that happens, I just don't know.

I know that's right . I would've told him I quit, because something can up and I don't have the time to clean anymore . .

I think 1000.00 is more in line for this. He would have spotted the ticket before expiration which is what I based that on.

A guy spends $30 bucks on one scratch-off and didn't scratch it months ago ??? And forgot he had it ?? He must have been drunk at the time. Hold my beer,,,, let me go check my sock drawer.

Aaww, such a sweet house cleaner.

As always we do the math for the winners.

State and Federal taxes = 46%

So winner gets to keep 351K.

I would give the cleaner 51K and be left with 300K.

I like to deal with round figures.
