I used to get rid of them, but now I save them after I was told about the Taxes.

Nope. I toss out all my losing tickets. I do however, re-check them multiple times to make sure I haven't won anything before I do.

I do not save my tickets. I throw them in the trash right next to the check your ticket machine. Good luck to all.-weshar75

I do save my losing lottery tickets for tax purpose but the one time I won a prize large enough that the state sent me a W-G form I couldn't use them.

For tax purposes lottery winnings are treated like regular income and your overall loses including the amount lost playing the lottery has to be greater the standard deduction that every one gets. Since you can only claim a lost up to the amount you won, you can only claim a lot if you won a lot.

That particular year I spent ~$3000 on lott... [ More ]

I've saved them for years. If I win enough to claim on my taxes then they will come in handy. For some unknown reason, I have losing tickets from several years back. Guess it's time to get rid of them.

I've been tossing them, but its only been a couple of weeks of Fantasy 5, and then I moved over to Daily 3 this weekend.

I think I might just keep tossing them, as I really don't have space for a bundle of garbage, plus I think they may have bad energy. I need as much good Karma as possible. :)

It's a good idea to have a couple of bags full with you when you're being audited....

I am told you can deduct them dollar for dollar against your claimed winnings.

Yeah I do. People said I should save them to claim on my taxes if I expect to win big (which I do).

Do you save all your losing tickets?

I apologize if this has been asked before, but do you save all your old tickets that are not winners
