| Store patron blows chance at $30-million jackpot by returning ticket
how badly would you be kicking youself? http://www.montrealgazette.com/Custo...409/story.html
Canwest News Service June 3, 2010 5:02 PM
A lotto customer in Newfoundland voided their ticket before the May 21 draw -- a ticket that was worth $30 million.
by: Bruce Edwards, edmontonjournal.com
A customer who changed their mind about buying a lottery ticket at a Newfoundland and Labrador convenience store could have won a $30 million jackpot.
"Had the player kept the ticket, I believe it would have been the largest jackpot ever won here," said Atlantic Lottery Corp. spokeswoman Jennifer Dalton. "It's a completely rare story for us."
The story began to unfold last month when an employee at Corner Store in Goulds, just south of St. John's, printed a Lotto Max ticket for the shopper, then immediately voided the stub "at the request of the customer," Dalton said.
Days later on May 21, the draw was held and each number on the rejected ticket matched the winning set for the $30 million lottery.
Dalton hasn't met with the customer and didn't know why the customer rejected the ticket, but she noted some players won't purchase tickets if they don't like the numbers randomly chosen by the lotto computer.
"Ultimately, it's the player's decision to purchase the ticket from the terminal. If it's not what the player wants, he or she can reject it," she explained.
A sales clerk must void the ticket once it is rejected by a customer.
This Friday's jackpot sits at $50 million with five $1 million prizes.

Whatever, your life is no different than it was before, it was just bad luck. No point in kicking yourself at all.
"Damn I wish I randomly chose to keep that random set of numbers." Makes no sense.

Now I was exaggerating when I said I would kill myself.. but there are people out there that most definetly would.
