If I were Filthy Rich
By Sorry_Fun5062+13 Sold 2 Tickets same numbers Who would you give the extra ticket to?
So I go buy my lotto tickets and used one of the vending machines. I put in my playslip wait a few minutes and nothing happens, so I do it again and one ticket comes out along with another ticket. Both tickets have the same numbers so I feel like I just wasted $4 dollars. I don't expect the store to do anything because as far as I know they can't cancel out a ticket. I only notified him to let him know that the machine is not working right. My question is lets say this ticket is the winning ticket. How would that effect my tickets or claiming it? Also hypothetically let's say the same thing happened to you and you have the winning ticket, but two of them/ Would you keep both winning tickets? If not who would you give the winning ticket to?

+20 @None There was an instance long time ago when one state jackpot had 4 winning tickets, and oddly two of them were bought/owned by the same person! He must have mistakenly rebought the same numbers. So he ended up with half the jackpot and the other two winners got 25% each.
