Not too often you stick something into a bin and it comes out smelling of roses.
Lucky for them..I tend to rip them up in Anger……
So wait this is the third story I’ve heard in the last week about thrown away lotto tickets coming good by anonymous people. Hmmm……
Enough with the thinking there Deborah, just buy a €10 quickpick and you’ll be grand
Don’t forget to stick it in the bin too to ensure a win!
I always use the machine. The clicking noise … The silence … The trying again … The clicking … The trying the other ticket … The clicking … The beep … The pause … Not a winner. Sigh. Back to the first ticket.
Clever marketing perhaps !!!
So they paid for a lotto plus ticket, checked the main draw, didn’t win so threw it in the bin and not bother looking at lotto plus draws, a hear now are they having a laugh, i no if i paid for a lotto plus ticket I’d be inclined to check the numbers.
Sifting through my bin when I go home…You never know…
Sitting in your bin locked on wine
Seems irresponsible to me. It’s so easy to check tickets with apps & scanners these days, dumping a 6 figure prize is just stupidity in the extreme
looking for their 15 minutes of fame as well.
Their fifteen minutes of anonymous fame.
You’d be surprised. Look at some commenters who fish for likes and are likely called “The Fish”.
No, they’re looking for their quarter of a million euro.
Bin lotto and mushrooms be good right now I’ll settle for binshrooms
Right I’m going to do the lotto. Stick it in the bin, cover it in non recyclables. Wait till full and fish it out. Seems to be lucky these days
Image from Shutterstock/PeJo? You could of easily taken a picture yourself of an Irish Lotto Ticket.
The lotto app is great, you can scan your ticket and find out you’re still a peasant alot quicker
Yay for 250k, but would still have to go to work in the morning.
