    Okay so like the threads title says, a man in my town here has lost his winning Powerball ticket worth $254 MILLION dollars! He's a young guy who works for Stamford Sanitation Company and his wife went back to the convenience store they bought it from in tears. I have several mutual friends to this guy, and story around town is he just lost the dang thing. How awful....

    Since the man and his wife can't prove they had the winning numbers, nothing can really be done. They have until April 2012 to find their lost ticket. They were also the sole winners and would be super rich right now.

    How mad would you be?

    50% chance the guy loses his mind and goes on a assault rifle rampage.

    The moral of the story: Don't gamble. Don't play the lottery. Be happier.

    I'm trying LOL, everywhere I go I look down at the floor hoping that thing blows my way.

    When I heard the guy lost the ticket, I started thinking about what I'd do with the money if I found it. I couldn't even think straight, that's soooo much money it's nuts.

    How could you lose it? If I knew I won it wouldn't leave my hand for days until I could go bring it in. What else do you have thats more important? That changes everything about your life so whatever you had to go do that you put it somewhere probably didn't matter.

    i wonder if he could get an attorney to subpeona the footage of him buying the ticket at the time it was sold at the store and he could claim the prize that way?

    That's what I was thinking, but screw that, I'm hoping he's too dumb to try that. That way, I can maybe stumble across that thing.

    I know the owner of the corner store he bought the ticket, and can say I highly doubt Mike saves the footage. I don't think his surveillance system is digital, probably tapes over each day unless something happened.

    That's something I would do, lose the ticket. I lose stuff all the time.
    I quess everyone should snap a picture with your cell phone of their powerball ticket everytime you buy one.
