Hey Litebets27,
I know this is a bit off the subject. But thanks for that last line. I was just in a 7 eleven and the clerk said that a guy bought $60 worth of $1 tickets and won $1,000. You have just proven that it doesn't always work out that way.
Now, back on the subject, I think the clerk should have told the first customer to move over. I doubt it was illegal, but rude as all get out.
On the flip side, yesturday a clerk told me to move over just to scratch off the portion of the ticket with the winning code because they won't do it for you. I forgot to do it outside.( I scratch off tickets in the car then go back inside to claim) He said to step over, I told him "No it only takes me 3 seconds to scratch this part off." I never new the rule for clerks scratching off the coded section. Some places I go don't wont you to scratch it off, others won't touch it. Anyway he waited the 3 seconds without further words. I got my $5 winning and left.
Cool. I would have done the same thing if I knew it was a winner.
