I feel sure he had the ticket already because when he handed me the tickets he turned them over like he did not want me to look at them right away because he had slipped that one in with mine.

I had to point out to him I only handed him 2 play slips and he had those printed correct.

Of course he already knew that!

Did he think I was that dumb...buy $4 worth owe $9

If you forget to pencil the .50 cent box, or any specific box detail store will play 1.00 a ticket. It happens.

Previously it was mentioned that the date and time is printed on the ticket. If yours and the extra ticket had the same date/time, then he printed it by mistake. If the time was older, he was trying to get rid of a mistake or loser ticket. If the datetime was the same, I would say it was a accident, because I see no gain for him to print extra mistake tickets and try selling them without checking it.

Now here in Illinois we have the lucky day lotto its a 5/45 twice a day drawing. It has

Sometimes if they make a mistake on a ticket they can't cancel. The store will try to sell it to another player. My husband is so paranoid that it might be the winner. He always buy the mistake tickets. Most of us have read stories about this happening. Many years ago, A guy working at Publix made a mistake on a $1.00 Lotto ticket. He was trying to sell this ticket to everyone. An employee bought it and won the jackpot.

If the machine said I owed that much he would have had to done the cash 5 with mine then...I should have looked to see if they were qp's or not because if they were not he would have had to punch in all of the numbers it did not take but a few seconds to run 2 slips so I'm pretty sure he already had the ticket. I wish now I had of look at it close to see the time it was ran and the date on it.

What caused us to contact company headquarters and the lottery wasn't the fact we were sold a non-winning ticket.

We can afford to lose a buck.

It was because when we went back on a different day and asked for the displayed mistake ticket, we asked the cashier to check the date on the ticket.

It Was Past Its Draw Date and A Non-Winner.

Yet, that same ticket was displayed like any other ticket in the hopes that someone would buy it.

Here's the interesting part.

Just a FYI. Last week I went to Idaho for a ten advance Hot Lotto, two of the clerks didnt know how to do an advance ticet and the woman didnt want to make a mistake so she called the supervisor. He made a mistake and printed out a ten draw ticket for the same day. The woman said that was why she didnt want to try to do it. She showed me a Raffle ticket someone made and it was up by the lottery machine for sale. The supervisor figured it out, got me my correct ticket. She asked him what happens

Sounds like he made a mistake and was just reading whatever the amount said. When that happens, because they can't refund those particular tickets, cash 5 mega pb, they just stick it somewhere or ask if someone wants it or not. To be completely honest about those guys in the stores, most of them do not play, and they don't care or pay any thought or mind to what people play outside of what the machines say is owed. If they make a mistake they admit it.

If any store or clerk is pulling some with you, then you can bet your last nickel they are doing it with other customers too. A lot of people only play the jackpot games when the jackpot is way up there and nothing else, so they are clueless and they are easily ripped off.

Us more seasoned players should not put up with that crap. A threat to file a complaint with the lottery office may straighten them up real quick. Even if you don't actually do it, at least they will know not to mess with... [ More ]

Stopped in at that Kwik Trip again.

Nope.

No more mistake tickets or at least we could see.

Stopped by another Kwik Trip store.

Didn't see any mistake tickets in the usual place.

Someone must of put the kibosh on that ploy.

We'll monitor some other places around here.

Here's what could be happening.

Someone at that store is deliberately printing tickets and trying to pass them off as mistake tickets.

They are hoping someone will buy them even if the they are expired and non-winners.

Any tickets that are not purchased by a customer must be paid for by the store owner.

Store employees or even store owners use this ploy to play the lottery without paying for a ticket.

Given this person tried to sell it to you, tells us they wanted to get rid of th... [ More ]

Or, like the one that started talking to me last week, and ran my tickets twice, because, she was all in my business.

They ask me that too...that's what the clerk yesterday was trying to do but slip it in with mine...still can believe I would be so dumb as to fall for it...I wonder how many he has tried with it or how many more he will try...I warned one man in line not to fall for it if he tried it with him.

You're right...I always but always count what I owe write it down on a small piece of paper put it in front of my playslips in my plastic folder....they've tried to add more many times to what I owe in other ways too especially if the paper runs out...then I say give me what you've ran I'll match them with the playslips then tell you which ones to run...don't trust them to do it because they mess up most of the time!

If you play quick picks, watch that the clerk doesn't try and slip you an expired ticket for the previous draw.

I ran some tickets, and I kept my play slips.

When I seen the winning number, I knew I had won $350.00.

Well, I had the play slips, and was charged, and didn't have the winning ticket.

So, I went back to the store, and the clerk was still there, and I told him, Hey, I don't have my winning ticket , yet I have the play slip.

Along with my other tickets.?

I was hot!.

He said, he didn't have it ?

I know he did.

Same thing happened, again, at a different location.

I lived in Eugene Oregon back in 2007 and I went to my local around the corner store to turn in a $2 winner and the clerk scanned the ticket it rang up and she told me that it was a loser and ripped the ticket up. So I decided to go to the liquor store further away and another convenient store further away to get my lotto because I was not going to be getting ripped off too many times.-weshar75

the best thing the lottery ever did was put a screen up for players to see exactly how much they were being charged . prior to that clerks were overcharging and stealing money from unsuspecting customers that did not know how much they owed. even though each lottery player should KNOW how much they're tickets account to some people still opted to trust the clerk.

I stopped at a store I hardly ever go in this afternoon bought $4 worth of p3 p4 tickets...4 of each kind the clerk handed them to me sort of turning them over said I owed him $9 I said no I owe you $4 because they were 50 cent tickets.

I told him what I played showed him the 2 play slips I had given him told him I was not paying but the $4 that I owed...he then said let's see what you have he was going to count the paper tickets.
