Uh, wait. It was a quick pick, and she knows it's the winning ticket? Who memorizes a quick pick number?
Sounds fishy to me.
I thought the same thing.
But then again, maybe she really did lose it. Stuff like that can be really easy to lose track of. That's why I am extra careful with my tickets, putting them in a place I know they will not get lost. Not that it matters much because the most I have ever won is $3 for getting the power ball but I don't play that much. Usually I get several numbers on the draw but not all on the same line. What I need to start doing is playing one dollar every lottery instead of buying five at a time only when the jackpot gets above 400 million. Then, maybe, I'll win something, On 640 million dollar lottery, I started the mega ball at 29 and counted down to 25. I was two away
If I would have started at twenty five, I would have won three bucks.
The article said she left her ticket at the Mcdonald's. Why would she misplace it at work? I would never leave a lottery ticket at a fast food restaurant unless it belonged to the people who worked there and all I would get is a portion of the winnings.
If she never finds it, maybe the prize will never be claimed. Whoever has the winning ticket may have thrown it away accidentally or something.
