Default Sad Lottery story

Here in Indiana we just started a new lottery scratch off called Muscle Car Money. The top prize is 75k but you can also win a New Challenger R/T, Mustang GT, or Camaro SS. Your choice. My 82 year old aunt scratched one off with a picture of the car but thought she had to match a number. Long story short, she trashed it, Now she bought another one of those tix and realized the error of her ways. That sucks big time. Considering she is competent I believe her. The winner was put out to last weeks trash so you know its long gone now. I feel for her. She could have used the money that she could have sold the car for. probably was a cash option instead of the car. Man, I'd never forgive myself. people should know what they are playing when buying tickets. This was a $5 scratcher.

What landfill does it go too. You could ask them where they dumped that day and go try and find it. I would. They usuallly know where everything is dumped within the last few days.

We thought about that but, that would be a needle in a haystack. Considering it was a week ago. Probably underground now. Gone but not forgotten.

Anyone recall a story of a guy roaming through a land fill. He did find a winning lottery ticket and preceded to turn it in for the pay out. Some people who claimed they were the rightful owners sued claiming the lottery winnings were their's.
