Sign your ticket! Even if you think you've lost, sign your ticket before you have a clerk check them for you. For years, I had naively assumed that lottery retailers could not play the lottery. How wrong I was. http://www.ajc.com/news/nation-world/attorney-texas-lottery-won-183961.html

There was also a special on this on one of the news networks. The retailers in several states were some of the biggest lottery winners in the state. A customer would come in on a 3 number or 4 number game thinking they had won one amount, when they were actually entitled to more. Of course, the retailers lied to them, and paid out the smaller winnings, and pocketed the difference.

Yep, I am seventh generation intolerant Republican. We were abolitionist, elected Lincoln, passed the 13th amendment, 19th amendment, and gave Johnson the votes to pass the 1964 Civil Rights Act. However, I see now my ancestors made one big mistake. They marched with Sherman and burnt Atlanta ... they should of salted it like the Romans did at Carthage. Atlanta is getting its revenge on Republicans.
