Playslip, accidently gets run more than 1XPrev TopicNext Topic
-
Is this an old topic? Since some of us have been talking about filling out playslips for QPs. Tonight, when I played my games, my Bonus5 slip got run by the clerk 2X accidently so I have 2 duplicate set of numbers on two tickets (I don't Qp). I, of course, bought it. Would y'all do the same or ask for ticket cancellation?
LOL jarasan
PS My hope is a double big hit.
Now I am seeing the Mega Miliions being hyped on TV, all over the place. News must be slow. they are saying it hasn't been hit in 15 draws. Is that right? 7.5 weeks? The economy musn't be to bad that approx. $170,000,000 dollars can be raised in such a short time. That's $.55 per every person in the US, I THINK MORE PEOPLE PLAY THE LOTTERY THAN WE ORIGINALY THOUGHT LAST WEEK! Remember, there are hundreds of other lotteries being played all over the place, also some of which are at record highs. Where is all this money coming from? I just came from the store where I bought my Bonus Match 5 and someone was in the midst of writing down numbers between other customers, and the clerk said she was over $300.00 in buying tickets, $40.00 a pop before the draw! I guess the stock market woes aren't really that bad, stay in, you'll be glad you did.

OfflineThose who run the lotteries love it when players look for consistency in something that's designed not to have any. So many systems, so many theories, so few jackpot winners.
There is one and only one 'proven' system, and that is to book the action. No matter the game, let the players pick their own losers.

This is a cool topic. I would also keep the ticket. But I wonder......
If I were the sole winner of the jackpot and had to split it with myself, would I be pissed that I wasted $5 on the extra ticket...

OfflineCome to think of it, it could be the ultimate hit!
Take the cash option AND the annuity!

I don't know about mega millions, but i do know here in tenn. power ball and the pick 5 cannot be cancelled, so if the cleark makes a mistake they have to eat it, but im like you i would have bought it too. i called my cousin in mi. had him buy me some WINNING tickets lol, they are in the mail
, have i got it bad or what lmao. and as far as how many ppl buy tickets, some only buy them when it get in the 100s of millions, that just cracks me up like 40 or 50 million would not improve their lifes. i try and have a ticket every draw, i at least have a chance. -

Well here are the results the slip that got run 2x, it hit for 3 out of 5 for $15.00 each. My return was $18.00 profit since it cost $12.00 for the duplicates.
The most incredible thing happened last night with regards to web sites, D.C.'s web site http://www.dclottery.com
was updated before MD.'s! D.C.'s website is notorious for being slow to update, it has a .gif file for each of the numbers on the page! It must be a real pain to edit that page, they must have hired someone new to update it, I bet the format may change soon. Many times you try and go there and it is unavailable, but not lately, it has been on time.
P.S. The Mega Millions jackpot is running on some of the scrolls on the news channels!

$340 X 10 e6 could definitely brighten up anybody's day! -

OfflineSo, let's say that a transvestite with an atrological sign of Gemini (of course) played the same ticket in two places (as geminis will) and hit solid, 5 and the bonus ball.
So "Carl" decides to go for the cash option, and then "Karla" decides on an annuity.
Might be a bit of sticky wicket getting them both to the same press conference at the same time, though!
Of course, as "Karl" thought about his numbers, he had "Walking Around in Women's Underwear" playinhg in the background....
Later on, if you wanna....
We can dress like Madonna...

Coin Toss, you need a drink! LOL
Anyway, that's not a bad idea...taking both the annuity and the lump sum option. I agree with lottolaughs about the waste of a dollar. The only reason I usually keep a ticket that isn't what I asked for is that I don't want to make a big deal out of it. However, I first posted something I deleted from my above comment, because it sounded a little cheap. What I wrote is that sometimes I only plan to spend 4 dollars and that's what I put into my pocket. It doesn't mean I'm so poor that I can't find another dollar, it means I went into a store to buy 4 tickets and didn't expect something to go wrong.
