Had a real screw up today in Ohio Went to the Circle K to buy My lottery tickets,Had my card all filled out 4 cards gave them to the Lady.
The machine was running real slow printed 3 tickets but not the forth so the worker did it manually still no ticket, what seamed to take forever it printed.on my way. Watching the 12:30 draw low and behold # 349 came up.,Looking at my tickets first 3 for the midday Drawing and the fourth ticket with my five hundred Dollar Wining Number 349 Evening Drawing ??? SORRY NO CIGAR NO PAYDAY
If I didn't have bad luck I have no luck at all. A rainy day in Cleveland.
Moral of the story is CHECK YOUR PRINTED TICKET for accuracy BEFORE leaving!!!!

Okay so where is the ticket the machine read from the card for the day draw? Unless Ohio has found a way to
void upcoming winning numbers from playslips, it's out there somewhere. I wonder if, when you left, it spit it out
AFTER the night ticket.
Night is default, you put in a number it plays night, you have to ask for day and they have to punch
it in that way. Even if the machine was sluggish - ours are in PA too for the last few days - the reading
was in there.
So you paid for 3 day and 1 night ticket. I doubt there's a chance it's still at the store...if it did print, it might have
gotten mixed in with the next order. Or it may have seemed to come out of nowhere later and was cancelled. That
would be the best fate for the missing ticket.
One bright note...I did see a repeat in some all states of the same exact number from day. I hope it happens for you!
