  I won on my own mistake once. I put the wrong number on my playslip. When the winning number was drawn I knew I hadn't played it. But when I checked my tickets, there it was. It was for $80.
  
  Always check your tickets, you never know...

  

  Before you play there are 2 choices to make. Low sum or high sum and consecutive pair or no consecutive pair. Choose correctly and you go from 120 combos down to 30. Not a bad starting point.

  When I'm in a gambling state and I see a mistake ticket sitting on the counter I always buy them, usually the clerk is very thankful. I have yet to win on a mistake... But maybe one day.

  Me too, Hammy Wammy.  Good luck to us both!  I haven't ran across mistakes lately... until yesterday... a triplet for the Powerball... the $300 million drawing... tomorrow... "But maybe one day".  Yes, I know where you are coming from... "But maybe one day"... yep... maybe.  Maybe tomorrow is one day... Just maybe. 

                         

    I'm feeling a $312,000,000.00 jackpot win coming my way!

  Thanks Travelin T!  I think I would be inclined to sponsor a one time, LP member, no purchase necessary, sweepstakes upon my win.  Operated by an independent firm of course.   Best of luck to you as well!

  Ok, check this out!!

   Yesterday I got home and noticed I forgot to play a number on the way home and made extra card and a special trip to get the number 331 for eve.  So tonight when I was pre-checking my cards for eve play I came across that card and noticed I had played 332 not 331, and OF COURSE I CHANGED it back to 331 ---then 332 comes out .........

  There was one time I went to Walmart to buy some batteries, late in the evening. I was already having a pretty bad day, blood pressure was through the roof. Every single checkout lane was super long, so I thought to myself "F this, I'm driving down the road to Kmart". So I set the batteries down on some random shelf, got in my car, and drove down the street to Kmart. So I buy my batteries at Kmart, and noticed they had a scratch-off dispenser. I bought a $5 scratch-off and won $100. This was actually the first scratch-off I had ever bought.

  Gonna win.

  I was in a grocery store late 1 afternoon years ago,and a woman in front of me decided she didn't want the lottery ticket she bought.   I said I would buy it. It paid around 70 something dollars.  I always look for them now. 

  Money is a terrible master, but a great servant...

  Yes, just recently.  I went to the store to play 600 for $1 combo.  The person gave me 6000 $1 combo.  Number came out.  Won $5000.  Sweet mistake!
