I have 9, 13, and 26, on the last line of the(QP) freebie, so far my take this week is SM-$9.00 PB-$20.00, deducting the cost of the tickets. my winnings amount to $13.
TakeFive: You got it now, that's what happened, the clerk tried to pass off Wednesday's rejected SM ticket to me on Thursday, I never thought about the player rejecting the ticket On Wed. because he didn't get the promo, I bet you are correct, you think like a detective, you should get a job with NY Lottery security (lol).
The clerk was sneaky about it, that's what annoys me, he pretended to get a new SM ticket from the machine, but handed me Wednesday's reject instead, as I said in a prior post, the lottery machine in that store sits high off the counter, so a customer can't view the tickets coming out of the machine.
I am superstitious about not looking at the QP numbers before the drawing, so I don't look at the tickets after the clerk hands them to me, but I wouldn't have noticed it was Wednesday's reject anyway, even if I did look at it, now I know better and will glance at the ticket date from now on.
You guys aren't going to desert me on SM after the promo is over and let me win all this money on my own, are you? ..sob..sob..sob.. Well, if you guys go, at least Mom and I won't be winning your money any longer (lol), but you won't be getting any of our future SM contributions either (lol).
