You won't find a bigger red flag than a clerk throwing your ticket away after checking it to see if it's a winner.

I always check my own tickets before handing them to a clerk to cash in (now) and woe be to the clerk that throws my ticket away, winner or no winner.

I just hope it's a man cuz it'll be Bedtime for Bonzo, Goodnight Irene and Goodbye Mr. Chips.

I had that happen once when I first started playing and didn't know any better. I've also had it happen twice since then and caught... [ More ]

Only two stores not three. The one where I check whether a ticket is a winning ticket or not is not a physical store. It's a website.

A funny off topic story, I played a funny prank a few months ago in Florida.

Have you ever tricked your friend with one of those fake lottery tickets? Every ticket is a winner for 10,000 dollars but the back of the ticket said that in order to redeem the ticket, you have to go to the North Pole and redeem it from Santa Claus.

NO I havent, but I did watch videos on youtube with people going berserk when they realized they were winners...LOLReport abuse

So you'd rather go to one place to see If it's rejected or not, then go to two other locations to see what the winner was, instead of learning Poker and checking it yourself, thus eliminating wasted time and wasted trips?

Okie Dokie.....

Why the heck would you even buy a ticket If you don't know how to check the ticket yourself?

I buy Poker Scratch Off on occasions even though I don't know how to play Poker. I do it because the game is quite new, has plenty of top prizes still available and has good odds. But I will never give it to the clerk if I don't know how much I win. What I do is entering the ticket number at my state lottery website replay program. If it is rejected, I know that I have a winner and then I scan it with... [ More ]

lmaoooooooooooooooooooooooooo@ Joker, that was a cruel joke, lmaoooooooooooooooooooo.

Yeah, people should check their tickets themselves, instead of having other people do it for them, that's crazy. And, it's the people that rarely play that win the big jackpots, this is just my opinion.

Good Luck.

I just don't understand some people. Why the heck would you even buy a ticket If you don't know how to check the ticket yourself? I check my scratch-off like 5 times over to make sure I didn't miss anything. I used to find winning tickets that were left on the lottery station a couple of times. Some people are just too dumb to play. They should stay away from the lottery.
