    Sometimes you hear about " Winning Tickets" not being honored because the Numbers were a " Misprint". The Printer screwed up and printed a number that wasn''t the number selected by the Random Number Generator . It printed a wrong number that was an error that might look like a winning number but since it wasn't the correct intended number , it just can't be honored. Sorry, better luck next time. Oh and thanks for playing the Game, all proceeds benefit our Education Fund.

    WELL anyway I'm thinking since misprints can happen that make it appear you have a Winning Number when you really don't, couldn't it also go the other way. Couldn't a machine misprint give you a wrong number that looks like a losing number? Heck yeah, Buddy.

    Your Ticket was actually a WINNER, but............ Your Winning $1.5 Billion Number was M I S P R I N T E D so you think it didn't win. It goes in file 13 where it belongs.

    But not to worry. The Prize Money will be given back to the States that sold Lottery Tickets and School Kids will benefit.

    Keep on Playing the Lottery , Lottery Fans. All proceeds go to worthwhile recipients. Probably NOT getting $1.5 Billion is the best thing that could happen to a person. If you HAD won, you'd be miserable. You'd be a hunted Animal. No Peace at all.

    😠
