what would you do....?
53 Answers
evening all,
today i went into a supermarket to buy a lucky dip lottery ticket to put in my mum and dads christmas card as a little extra gift.
now, ive never actually bought a lottery ticket before (!) so i didnt really know what i was asking for, and said to the cashier girl ''id like £5 lucky dips please for this weeks lottery''
with that she printed my ticket and i handed me money over and that was it.
on checking the ticket when i got in, it says its for the 'euromillions' draw for this friday night ..
i wanted a ticket for the ordinary lottery for this saturday..
i know im being a bit thick here, lol, but am i right in thinking they are entirely different things?? and ive been given the wrong sort??
i was planning on returning to the shop tomorrow, explaining the error, in hope they will void this ticket and give me the correct one.
does anyone know if they can/will do this for me, and is there proof on the ticket that i actually bought it from them?
or
if you were me, would you keep the euromillions one and still put it in their card....??
ps - how does the prize money compare to the ordinary lottery prize money?
thanks!

Just on my way to bed, but thought id answer this one...
It's entirely possible you did indeed get the 5 euro numbers for only a fiver. I'm assuming most tills are the same as the one I work on, and you have to manually enter how much the lottery ticket was for. If the Sales assistant wasnt paying attention it's quite possible (I know as ive done it myself a couple of times) to sell tickets for less than they're worth.

thanks boo, i posted a reply to you over on the 'other' thread' that was kindly started by nomercy.
i dont think an error was made money wise with the ticket as ive just totted up what i had in my purse to start with and it looks like i did pay a tenner. shame she gave me the wrong sort though!! id rather have done 10 lines on the ordinary lottery than pay out all that for something i didnt want.
anyway, never mind, its done with now, and you never know, from all the hassle i got from certain people in here tonight, which wasnt very pleasant, the 'it might be youuuuuu' man might take pity on me and makes sure the ticket brings my mum and dad a nice little windfall for crimbo eh!
