Saw "Thibodaux" thought "Louisiana".

No bet

You will be quite rightly mocked by the irony police.

Isn't Thibodaux to Louisiana as Smith is to the rest of the states?

follow up story, cashier loses job and faces severe penalties for adding power play option in error.

SBinRR: Isn't Thibodaux to Louisiana as Smith is to the rest of the states?

Dirty Sanchez is to Mexico

I think subby might be related to a certain singer who also doesn't know what "ironic" means.

As Burchill noted, by 'Ironic', you mean 'Not in the least bit ironic, sorry, I'm a goof."

cool

Dirty Sanchez is to Mexico

Or Ron Mexico is to Atlanta and Philadelphia.

It's annoying how many people pause to clean thier monocles while correcting people on the correct use of the word ironic, like George Carlin, or your sixth grade English teacher didn't point it out years ago... or is it... ironic?

This.

/endorsed. I grew up in South Louisiana; my senior class of 500 had more than a few Thibodeauxs. My aunt married South Texas Thibodeaux so my relations here are Thibodeauxs.

Story as submitted is essentially a non issue. Lucky for the ticket purchaser

Two Thibodauxs in the same louisiana town. How is this possible?

Don't worry, I'd never "tip" the freaking cashier that sold me a ticket, people are idiotic for doing this.

Then again, I never have nor never will buy a lottery ticket.

I may have my Chauffeur run it in for me though.

Boudreau = Jones.

Came here to say exactly that.

dude story has a happy ending. cool.

Dem Landrys bear watching too.

I never play the lottery, but if I did, and I won, I would return to the store to meet the cashier who sold me the winning ticket, and show them the new car I just bought. I would then tell them that if they worked hard and really pulled hard on their bootstraps, they might be able to improve their financial reality and be as successful as me. Then, I'd do a burnout as I left the parking lot.

Why would he give the cashier some of the money? That seems really stupid. The cashier didn't make you a winner, they just sold you a ticket just like they sold everyone else a ticket. The state gave you the money, so if you want to give someone money back give it to them.

Yeah, that always seemed stupid to me. Tell you what, cashier, I'll give you some money if I win the lottery if you give me some money (equaling the cost of the ticket) every time I don't win. Sound fair?

That "always" seems stupid to you? Have the events in this article ever happened to anyone else before? Extremely doubtful.

Anyone else notice this side story: "Ex-Viagra Employee Refuses to Return Hefty Severance Check Mailed in Error"?

That's hard.

NightOwl2255: Anyone else notice this side story: "Ex-Viagra Employee Refuses to Return Hefty Severance Check Mailed in Error"?

That's hard.

I bet it remains hard for longer than four hours too... poor drug company.

Guess what town in LA they live in.

For those beating up on subby, the article called the name situation "ironic". Subby may have tongue in cheek.

Or penis. Hard to tell.


A Louisiana man came across a million reasons to thank an absent minded cashier who sold him a $1 million lottery ticket by mistake. Ironically, the cashier has the same last name and lives in the same town as the man she sold the ticket to.

because he would have won the 200k anyway. The cashier rang him up for the 'multipler' for an exgtra buck. Instead of biatching and getting a new ticket, he just paid double for his ticket.

had the cashier not added the multiplier, he would be out some money.

Not sure what the headline is implying. Maybe, "subby" just likes adding "quotation" marks without any "reason".

GungFu: Not sure what the headline is implying. Maybe, "subby" just likes adding "quotation" marks without any "reason".

I know, I thought at first from subby's headline that their was some sort of implication that there was a scheme of some kind. Then I realized subby probably just wanted to be included here: Link (new window)

It could happen to you. (new window)

The money are BELONG TO HIM! If he wants to reward his dork with 200,000 for not slapping the ticket off the counter, that is his option....get your farking hands out of his poketz...that is the government's job...

Joey Jo-Jo Junior Shabadoo!

It's like ten thousand spoons, when all you need is a knife

You Cant Explain That: start voting Republican.

Voting Republican would go without saying in that scenario. I wouldn't want the Demo-rats taxing me out of all that money I worked so very hard for. Besides, if I were the caliber of person who played the lottery regularly, I would probably be of an average intelligence with the modern Republican base.

The last name of Thibidaux is about as common in parts of Louisiana as Smith is in New England.

Dang...beat me to it.

My mom came from Houma. Lots of large families... lots of relations.

OOOOH $1 MILLION
WHAT AM I GONNA DO WITH THAT
$500000 ENGAGEMENT RING
$400000 TAXES
AND $100000 TO PAY FOR RAMEN
