Sounds like more than coincidence. It must have been for her.

Congrats

If Todd has to scan the ticket to make sure there is nothing missed, then really some of the scratch card games can be hard to determine a winning ticket.

Am glad the other non scratch card games are pretty simple to determine a winner.

Well, there is one other way that is much quicker. The bottom of the ticket has a rectangular bar code, which you can see on the photo of the ticket in the story. Most state lotteries have an app that can scan the code and instantly tell you if it's a winner. Personally, after manually checking the ticket myself I always scan the code just to be sure I didn't miss anything.

Aaah, thanks Todd, I see that.

I have seen a few posts here where the winner of a scratch card game gave the ticket to the cashier to check if it's a winning ticket.

This one doesn't look so hard to tell (now that you have pointed it out )

There are those that have frogs and bats and spiders - a different story altogether.

See the number 28 in the World Class Numbers section matches the 28 on the main playing board. And in the main playing board you can see 4MIL listed under the 28, meaning the prize for the match is $4 million.

I am looking at the ticket and I have no idea it's a winning ticket.

I have never played scratch off cards - so where do I need to look
