My wife said she wanted to go to Home Depot and buy some flowers for the patio, so I went along for the ride. I asked her to pull in to a convenience store near The HD so I could get Take5. She says for me to buy a dozen eggs while I'm in there, so in the store I go.
I get the eggs, and fill out a T5 play slip for 3 lines for tonites drawing, and have the clerk ring me up. He does it, and says "$16.67". I looked at him for a second, and thought to myself "Those are some pretty expensive eggs." So I asked him why so much..to my mind the total should have been more like $4.50.
He says; "It's the lottery ticket. It's $15.00" Something must have happened when he ran the slip through the machine because the play slip wasnt marked for 5 drawings. So I say "I just wanted to play $3.00" He says "No problem" and almost ran the slip in again. But then all of a sudden it hit me, and I said "Forget it, I'll take that ticket".
I've read posts from savvy players here on The LP, and they always say "If the clerk or the terminal makes a mistake when you're buying the ticket, never refuse it, buy it". I've been playing T5 for 3 years pretty regularly, but that's the first time anything like that has happened to me.
So Fiesty and Cajun, I'm playing a few of your lines for the next five days.......
