Just a question, but if your ticket stubdidn't get turned in, how did they chose your ticket number?

We have a lottery here in PA. They have several games where you buy lottery tickets and they have a televised drawing, Its just a machine with numbered ping-pong balls.


All the fire companys, clubs and organizations use this televised drawing and have the winning numbers go off of it. They use the lottery's numbers to determine the winner if the ticket they are selling.

This ticket went off of the 7:00 PM , Big Four drawing. It is a four digit number.

I never checked the ticket. My number hit on Jan. 1st 2006. The ticket had a gun given away, each day, for 2 months. There were grandprizes at the end of each month. One was an elk hunt for 2 and the other was a 4x4 quad and trailer.

The ticket stated that all winners will be notified. I was never notified. Because they didn't have the stub to see who's number hit. The sellers of tickets are supposed to turn in all stubs so that winners could be contacted.


I almost threw the ticket away. It had been laying in a stack of various tickets that my wife and I bought throughout the year. My wife decided to check the tickets via the PA lottery's website, which gives the winning number drawn, each day, going back to who knows when. She found out that my number hit clear back in Jan. So I called one of the phone numbers on the ticket.
