Yeah that happens to me sometimes too. Less often now that my state got new machines. Luckily I know which numbers I want, so I can manually plug them in and get my ticket. If I was playing numbers that I didn't have memorized I'd get pretty irked if that happened.

I'm the same way. I have messed up buying tickets. And had the clerk mess up. And I always just buy the tickets from the clerk. Because the what if thought. Then I think it might be divine intervention. Or the big man upstairs helping out. But so far no luck. But I have read articles where people have won that way. So I dunno. Ya never know . But intill then....I guess I'll just keep trying...... And again Good luck! And have a fantastic Monday

Glad to know you would have done the same thing.

When I got my PB ticket today for the Monday draw, I was very clear that I want PB with Power Play

That feeling of, what if I only take one and what I don't take is a winner?

I totally understand.

Remember our past 'what if' conversation of spending a smaller amount of a bankroll or shooting the whole wad in one shot...? Your situation is oh so similar this time and I would have done exactly what you did. So sorry it did not work out better.

Best wishes.

Oh yeah it does, but one just never knows.

That feeling of, what if I only take one and what I don't take is a winner?

That would suck even more.

In the grand scheme of things it was worth a shot.

Good luck to you as well.

NOPE! None at all.

In all the 3 tickets, I only matched one number.

We get to play another day and hopefully better luck on Monday.

Strange things like this have happened in the past with good outcomes for the player.

Here's hoping that you receive one of those good outcomes.

Best wishes for the drawing are headed your way.

That is so true - three years ago I was in Seattle and the store clerk did not speak English, so I filled in the play slip for a QP but with multiple draws.

I myself made an accidental double play with the number 800 straight on November 30th 2022 and 800 straight came up and I won $1,000 on something that only cost me $2, I was very happy and grateful at my accidental double play.

This is exactly why I seek out vending machines. Any mistakes are purely my own.

I take all the chances for a clerk to screw it up out of the transaction by handing them a bet slip. Even if I just want a QP. G5

I asked the store clerk to get me a $3 PB ticket . Instead he printed three $3 PB tickets.

When I remembered this story - https://www.lotterypost.com/news/358169

I thought oh well, it doesn't hurt to get them all.

Fingers crossed for Saturday's draw

Next time, I will say PB ticket with Power Play
