Aww,

That mom deserves a nice hug, Winterhug

I'm pretty sure there are many others who do not check their tickets on time regularly.

It's unfortunate but

as the saying goes , Live and Learn

For those, that's on you..And you'll end up waiting for your next opportunity

Well drilling down on questioning someone stating, We do not check our tickets could mean multiple things. Possibly they rarely or do not regularly check their tickets. Never rarely means never in real life. They were storing them which indicates an intent to check them at some point.

We don't check our tickets.

Is an English sentence and it does not have the same meaning as we check our tickets occasionally or we check our tickets every month, or two months or whatever.

We don't check our tickets. Is just that. We don't.

Dude, people do buy containers to store their lottery tickets in hopes of getting around to checking them eventually. I guess you never heard of people who also store their lottery tickets in the glove box in their car. One guy who does this says, he only takes the tickets out of the glove box every 3 or 4 months or so when he decides to clear out his car. He did check the pile of tickets and discovered a winning ticket of 10K. Also storing tickets in containers, glove boxes and other places is

Exactly. I'm baffled why they play the lottery. They would be better of donating to charity if they don't care about checking tickets.

I feel the same way - if they are too busy to check the tickets - how then do they have the time to go buy them?

Especially the scratch tickets that you can't even buy online

We don't check our tickets. Reading that was annoying, why even buy tickets if you're not going to check them.

This one is not an occasional player - this is a regular player.

One by one, she scanned at least a few dozen draw game tickets. The Raffle ticket was the very last ticket in the pile

That right there sounds like a regular player.

I will give her the benefit of doubt, but deep down I know it's all made up.

Not BS. People who do not play regularly, seem to do this more often than not. I have had well educated coworkers tell me they did not check their tickets when they heard it was won someplace else. I did explain the other prizes.

And let's be honest, the odds are against winning. If they are investing in their 401ks and taking care of their family, that is #1.

I had no idea I was the winner, Carr told the Lottery. If it weren't for the billion-dollar Powerball winner making news, I would have forgot. We don't check our tickets.

That right there is just a lot of B.S. So why buy a container full of tickets if you don't plan to check them.

One can as well buy the ticket and toss it in the trash can on their way out of the store - the difference is the same.

People should just win and quit making sensational stories after the fact - ooh I don... [ More ]

Winner would have forgotten to check tickets if it weren't for Powerball

By Kate Northrop

An Oregon woman admitted that if it weren't for Powerball making headlines, she would not have thought to check an Oregon Lottery Raffle ticket that turned out to be worth $1 million.

If it were not for seeing Powerball come up in the news, an Oregon woman would not have bothered to check her stack of lottery tickets, one of which held the winning numbers for a $1 million prize.
