  ...and it wasn't to me.  Sigh.  It was a $5 game that I don't normally play.  (Special Edition Cashword)

  I stop at that market almost every day.  What a bummer that the top prize for that ticket was sitting right there, and I didn't even know.

  Def stings. I been before or after $1K wins alot. I know my regular store sold a 10K a few years ago. It is one of those things that I would just rather not know.

  I played from a roll that sold a $45K winner. Im guessing I was within 20 tickets range of the prize. $3 game too !!

  2018 Biggest Win: $500 (multiple times but who cares about $500 right?)

  All time Biggest Win: $4K ($5 Green & Gold)

  I agree. You gotta keep moving or it will tear ya up inside. I've bought the ticket before a $1,000 winner & also a ticket from the same book (a few tickets away) from a $20,000 winner.

   

  Like he said above, sometimes it makes ya think "dayum, I wish I didnt even know". LIfe goes on.

   

  Have to always have the mindset of lottry being FUN & also to win $$. Dont let a circumstance like this take away the fun part of it. Keep trying!

  Well, I think it would sting a lot more IF it was a game you did play, non?

  Yeah, I wish I had x-ray vision sometimes so I could "see" which ones were the winners.

  Chin Up and keep playing !

  Gas station 5 miles from me sold a $5.00 cashword and it was a $300,000 winner.

  Game came out Aug 31 - she got the ticket Sept 2.  Ticket # was 13 !

  Long time buyer- see her often in the stores.. Well not anymore !

  You are in NW Ohio- this was in Southeast Mi. We must be close =)..

  Yes, we must be close...I live only a few miles from the border.  Grew up in Monroe County, MI, but now I'm in Lucas County, OH.
