Nope. Try not to suck any dicks on the way to the parking lot.

Also bought hubcaps for a '79 Pinto and a copy of Mini Trucker magazine.

Buy the clerk a car, or give him/her the equivalent price (and pay any applicable taxes for said clerk). You can afford it.

F*ck everyone else, you can't afford them. But if this mistake was responsible for your ticket, I think that would be an acceptable token of gratitude.

Had that happen at Christmas once. I got a 6 dollar winner so I went down to exchange it for 3 2 dollar tickets since it was a gift, fun to play the win for life. The guy gave me 6 1-dollar tickets of 3 different kinds. He was a nice older guy so I just left and drove home (was visiting family across the state). Hit the 2k top prize on one of them that night, only time I've ever had luck since lotto is a fun fool's game.

Bennetts chose the one-time cash option of $1.3 million, which comes to a little under $1 million after taxes

Only a 25% tax hit? I thought taxes on such a windfall were generally half. What happened? Republicans?

That is awesome, dude. I rarely play any lotto, because I never win. I occasionally go to the Indian casino or Reno, where I have better luck and can at least afford lunch if I learn when to quit. I usually do know when to quit, too.

25% is withheld in the initial check. The winner is still responsible for taxes beyond that. Since the tax burden can change quite a bit depending on how creative their accountant is, the media only reports the value of the initial check.

he bought 2 tickets? 2? in a row?

I always buy the mistakes when the clerks make them (maybe 5 times)

$2.1 million Tri State Megabucks jackpot. The Bennetts chose the one-time cash option of $1.3 million, which comes to a little under $1 million after taxes

Probably should have went with the annuity.
