Today, I bought a lottery ticket. Two hours ago, I found out that the ticket was worth $100. Five minutes ago, I found my dog eating it. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I went to get a scratch off lottery ticket, and the dude in front of me got the same one I was going to get. He won 500 dollars. I got 2 bucks. FML
Today, I scratched a lottery ticket I had gotten for my birthday and won $10,000. In celebration, I jumped up and raised my hands directly into a ceiling fan. Oh, and it was a fake ticket. FML
Today, behind a cabinet, I found a scratch-off lottery ticket I hadn't scratched yet. After scratching it off, I realized it's a $2,500 winner. The lottery commission won't accept it because they stopped using that game 2 years ago. FML
Today, I won a lottery at my local grocery store. Excited, I went to claim my prize, only to discover it was a bottle of red wine. I'm a recovering alcoholic. FML
Today, my boyfriend came home, complaining about not having enough money for bills. He then pulled a stack of lottery tickets out of his bag, saying, "I hope one of these wins." FML
Today, I won the lottery. My ex-girlfriend has the ticket. I just broke up with her. FML
Today, I got a scratcher lottery ticket, scratched it in the store, and won $5,000! I screamed and danced around. The guy next to me shoved me over, yanked the ticket from my hands, and tore ass out the door. The cops couldn't find him. FML
Today, my Dad called me to tell me that he had finally won the lottery and that I no longer had to worry about trying to find a way to pay for school. I was so excited I started crying. He then told me that he won $5 on a scratch off lotto ticket. He bought a sandwich. Funny dad. FML
Today, I received a $100 bill in the mail as a late graduation present. I placed it on the table so I could go to the bathroom. I come back to find the table empty and my $100 bill missing. The fan blew the money on the floor and my 8 week old puppy ate it. FML
Today, my dog ate a $2,000 check. My credit card bill gets taken out of my bank account tomorrow. FML

Just go to the place you bought it and tell them the story. I’m sure they’ll believe you and give you the $100.

I wonder if it tasted like chicken for the dog.

that only works if the barcode is intact.

I'm not sure how the US lottery works, but in the UK the retailer needs the ticket to claim back the winnings from Camelot (our national lottery company). I assume this would be similar in the US.

You should have put it in a place your dog couldn't reach.

Quick get a vet to x ray your dog before the ticket fully dissolves so you have proof!

Go eat something of his that he really like and make sure he watches. That'll teach him not to eat your stuff.

Not trynna be a dick but if you knew it had value isn't it kinda your fault for letting it be accessible to your dogs mouth? I mean I feel bad OP but be smart

It's not being a dick at all telling OP "YDI." It's the nature of the site. Let him have it!

YDI If it was worth $100, then you should have put it in your wallet or pocket. As a dog owner you should have known that something bad could happen if you simply put it on a table or counter or in plain sight of the dog!
