Most definetly that is a disturbing trend and from some of the cases I read,the lottery retailers seem to be thieves.Well,first and foremost,as long as the draws are securely conducted without fraud,I dont really care about anything else.I dont condone acts of crime but in this case,you snooze,you lose.Anyone on this site who has the audacity to claim that they would not steal a winning ticket if they had an opportunity to do so is just concealing their greed.I know I would,and without a second thought.All those affected were probably the most lazy,ignorant,and the most oblivious people that ever walked the face of this planet.Theres different people winning massive amounts of money everyday and if someone handed over their mere investment not realizing that it could be a potential winner,and that it could offer a substantial reward,and that money changes more people around you than it does you,well then thats TOO BAD.Even the nicest retailer would take advantage if the ticket he just checked was worth millions and the fool who handed it to him is walking around shopping for snacks or whatever.The winning numbers are broadcasted everynight on cp24,printed in major newspapers the following day,are on the olgc website almost instantly after the draw,AND the lottery retailers also print them.Unless your blind or illiterate,theres no reson why you cant do it yourself.No disrespect,but thats just my opinion.
... and may the Lotto Gods take pitty on my picks, Quick though they may be 
......icy, refreshing,delicious
REALLY? In which game and what are the odds for that game? What means massive amounts? A million?
