No to the lottery ticket.
I have never heard of someone winning twice in one day
True enough, but I have a friend on Cape Cod that won the $10k ticket twice and one $7k ticket all within six months.
He didn't get a penny of it - made the mistake of turning it in himself. State of Mass take all lottery winnings if a parent is behind in child support and gives it to the parent with the kids.
His ex-wife was one happy kitten, DELIGHTED at his good fortune, and the fact he didn't learn the first two times: Have someone else cash the ticket ...
In fact tho' he said he didn't feel put-out by it, because he wants to support his kids, just has a tough time finding work. Bummed him out tho' that $27K less taxes went all at once to a woman he divorced instead of a new truck. Gotta love it!
