And what were the winning numbers? What if someone won and thought they lost and threw out the ticket?
Don’t they double check these things? Hey, aren’t lottery draws typically televised so you get to see the numbers as they’re drawn?
I can only speak for my local lottery and they aren’t televised anymore because they don’t draw balls anymore. It’s all computer generated now.
I believe they know where the winning ticket was sold...so it is traceable...to a point. I know one case where a store camera caught the “true buyer” on camera...
