Had to read this twice. I'm sure other LP members have given away a ticket in the store. I do, but only to employees, however not very frequently.

Wish someone would bless me like that

One player's trash is another's treasure

By Kate Northrop

An Illinois woman won $1 million on a Lucky Day Lotto ticket after another gas station customer decided they didn't want it and gave it to her.
