Not a lotto ticket, but I have a similar experience too.
It's a giveaway ticket, where you enter an event, you will be rewarded a giveaway ticket that should be keep until the event ends. The giveaway usually announced in the end of the event.
Although we only have to keep it in just few hours, but many people can't hold it and choose to throw away the ticket since they believe they will not win.
Topic: Have You Sometimes Forgot To Check Your lotto Ticket (Read 135 times)
There's a saying that where your treasure is, that's where your heart is and I think it was from the holy books I learnt this.
What goes to say is that, a lottery player who is forgetful should always try to keep the ticket where they can easily see it. That is, they can pin it on a board or on the fridge or by the bed post, so as to always remember to check, because I don't know how valid a ticket that won would remain after weeks of the owner forgetting to check.
The few times I tried placing a bet on just matches, I never even could close my eyes comfortably to sleep until I was sure the slip didn't play out well or has entered to confirm my winnings.
Besides this, those playing lotteries should check their schedules so as to know the right time to check the tickets incase anything of work nature comes suddenly knocking.

I have a friend who always forgets to check the lottery ticket he bought;
Anybody that forgets to check the lottery ticket or betting slip that they have usually forget because they are not expecting to win. I know fatigue can be a reason as well but it doesn't require much effort to check if you won or not, you only feel mostly unconcerned about it when you've lost so much from probably buying tickets and you are not expecting to win or it's your first time buying a lottery ticket and you're not expecting to win. If you have a strong expectation to win, you will never forget to always check back.

Why do he forget to buy the tickets? Actually, I possibly think that if he buys the lotto tickets from different shop he will probably forgets the particular shop that bought a particular ticket. However, since he checks the tickets by weekend it's not a bad idea but it will be more better if he checks it the next day. But it looks like the guy is not gambling for profits purpose because I wonder how a gambler that expects profits from his tickets forget to check his bets.
Can you imagine winning the jackpot prize and forgetting to check if you win
How about you? Have You Sometimes forgotten To Check Your lotto Ticket
Maybe nonchalance is the key to winning LOL joke.How about you? Have You Sometimes forgotten To Check Your lotto Ticket
Of course not but I have forgotten sometimes where I have placed my lottery ticket which is usually a scary feeling even if I may not have won anything however I always find it in the end anyway. But on a more serious note, this is really dangerous maybe harmful because aren’t you just wasting money if you keep just buying without even checking the results not knowing if you had won anything?
I rarely participate in lotto ticket, if I do participate, I will keep remembering with my number in my head and wait for the official announcement.
I'm someone who always get excited with something even though I already know I high likely will lose, so it's kind of disturb my daily life because I keep remembering with my lotto ticket instead of focus in other thing.
I'm not someone who can forget easily, it can be advantage and disadvantage for me.

one very fatal mistake if you buy a lottery but don't check the lottery you have, even though the winnings are small, it's a shame if the prize we get is lost just like that because of our carelessness
I personally, when I buy a lottery ticket, always give a reminder so that I know when the draw is so that I don't forget

Honestly, I don't know if I can easily forget about anything that is related to finance, especially when it concerns something that I am expecting to get some cash flow from. Although I have not had such experience recently but am not sure I can but just like the other comments said, the tickets doesn't just expire immediately, so the person can still remember to check it before it expires.
No, this has never happened to me) I was surprised that there are people who forget to check tickets on a systematic basis. I play at best once a month and always check the results, since I can’t imagine how you can forget. It’s cool if forgetfulness can bring a bonus, but this is definitely not my case.
Buying too many tickets is one reason some people fail to check. After a certain number it becomes a chore to them and after time spent checking with no wins, they lose the desire to keep checking consistently.

180 days of not claiming your win will invalidate your lottery win.This is what is said in that article and that means he'd be lucky to have come before the expiration.
I think there should be a system where players can leave a number or email and winners will be contacted. it will not cost the organizers much and will almost eliminate cases of unclaimed tickets.- Jay -

Its good that he sometimes checked every ticket every weekend, although he admits he sometimes forgets it because of too much work and his being forgetful.

I think he is confident that he can check later that’s why he is not checking real time. You can accumulate as much as you want then check it at one go since not everyday you will the lottery so you can check in bulk given that daily results is already available in the internet.
The profit will not decrease if you will claim so I don’t see any negative effect if you forgot to check the result unless you literally never check before the claim duration expires which is impossible for a lottery bettor like me since he already making effort to bet even if he is busy at work.
I won't forget to check and if I skip checking the results on particular day then it will be only happen due to the superstitious beliefs such as if I don't check the results on the same day that might end up in a winning combination and I am sure most people who buy tickets and skip will have such belief too. Once in a while they might forget and they are not even intended to buy but for some reason they had one and won as well but no one is that tired to forget everyday when they remember to buy it in the first place.

I usually don't forget it, unless I buy it when I'm sleepy or drunk. I reckon people who do forget checking their tickets are people who are either like me in the scenario I bought it or are people who are just so used to buying it that they do it instinctively and yet just forget about it because of all the previous instances where they didn't win so in their minds, "why bother checking" kind of thing. And tbf to the OPs article, if I forgot it for a day, I can easily forget it for years, let alone months lol.
Kind of weird how the spouse remembered it all of a sudden months later though.
Here in my country, when people buy a lottery ticket, they are asked to fill out a form where they put their full name, ID number, telephone number and home address. This way, if the person doesn't see the ticket on the day of the draw, after a few days the lottery organizers will contact the winner and if he or she doesn't answer the calls, then the lottery organizers will go to the winner's house to deliver the prize. I think it's a good measure. But I don't like playing the lottery. Honestly, I see it as the kind of game where you need to be very patient, the chances of winning are very low. I wouldn't be able to have the patience to buy the ticket and wait for the luck of hitting the jackpot one day.
I think Lottos are better off being played and not checked especially if you play these online unlike using physical slips, if you hit the jackpot or anything am pretty sure notifications will come...besides I think always checking if you hit the right numbers could depress you whenever you have a number from the drawn balls.
And what the heck is this not all random
unless someone tells me this is some kind of algorithm set to beat the players always

Good thing lottery winning amount can be claimed within a year before the prize will be defaulted. I do have some lottery tickets that I failed to check after I bet but simply looking to number of winner or if the jackpot still grows can give you an idea that you didn’t won.
If hear on the news that no one won I don’t bother to check my ticket then just recheck it after I made my second bet to make verify if I won any consolation rewards.
It’s kind feel jinx whenever I check frequently.

Wow, that’s really something because you sometimes ought to check automatically if you are already in that habit. But if you really forget, then there could be a time that that might happen, but it’s super minuscule. Still, if you really want to justify the buying of lottery tickets, then you should do that at least.
In some countries, receipts with a QR code automatically enter you into a jackpot for the whole country; you just need to check.

I always make it a habit to watch the live draw before going to bed, believing it’s a way to attract luck. This is our chance to potentially win millions, enough to change our lives, right? so it’s not an opportunity to take lightly. If we’re just forgetting about it, it probably means it’s not that important to us. Here in our country, a lottery ticket costs only about half a dollar. It’s super affordable, but the reward is massive. That’s why I make sure I won’t end up regretting it by unknowingly throwing away a winning ticket that could have changed my life.

No, I have never forgotten to check my lottery tickets. Here in my house, we have always put lottery tickets on a visible place, like a prominent desk or table, so we never forget checking it. It must be really painful to forget checking your tickets, just to discover a long time later you would have won the prize. Now with virtual gambling it's not a big issue anymore, though, since the process is made mostly automatically through digital means. You just have to set some notifications on to not miss important messages from the gambling platforms.
No, I don't forget because I always watch the draw live whenever I can.
Obviously, you're watching because you wanted to know right away if you won or not. So I don't know what's for those people who just forget their ticket. We bet on lottery even though the odds are very low to change our lives for the better.
And so with that, you should always be ready and know the results of every draw, in my opinion.
