True story,

last Feb, my grandmother, called me and asked me to play a number for her. The ended up coming out in the pick 3 that night. the problem was that i couldnt find the ticket. I think what happened is that i had gotten out the car and was carrying my son in his car seat, along with my purse and the diaper bag. The tickets were in my coat pocket, it was snowing and trying to carry everything caused them to fall out of my pocket. When my grandmother called,I was looking for the ticket

sounds like a fun dog

and one more reason I'll go to my grave having a cat and two about the house

Can't say I've lost a ticket but I reckon if one was in such a hurry to get his/her stuff and get home to relax I can see how it'd happen

I hope no one loses a big winner

For some strange reason my lab LOVES the sound of ripping paper and have on several occasions found bits of chewed up tickets, I swear last year around Christmas she got a decent size winner all the numbers sounded familar from my quick glance when I bought it. Oh well...I wouldn't trade my dogs for a million dollar ticket. I have learned to not leave my tickets on any area within her reach though. BTW, her name is Dharma (which IF she ate the big winner is nicely ironic).

Yes, I've lost lottery tickets but not often. I pick my numbers using a computer program I wrote so I have a record of all the combinations I play and the dates I played them so I know I have never lost a ticket that won more than a dollar or two. Take comfort in knowing your chances of losing a ticket that wins big is no better than your chances of buying a ticket that wins big.

Several years ago I washed a PB ticket along with my wallet in the wash. I was sick the whole night till the drawing and was relieved that it wasn't a winner.

Just misplaced a Fantasy 5 ticket...God I hope that it's a losing ticket (or a winning ticket that I eventually find, but I have a feeling it fell out of my pocket at a grocery store parking lot). If you guys hear of a winning Fantasy 5 ticket purchased at a North Hollywood 7-Eleven...I give you all permission to track me down and smack me upside the head for not taking care of my ticket.

Been a regular lotto player for a year now, and I always put my tickets in my wallet, but this time I was... [ More ]
