Lottery Ticket Bought in Financial District About to Expire

ca-lottery.jpg What kind of asshole buys a lottery ticket and six months later still hasn't checked to see if s/he's won? Oh, wait... that's totally something we would do. But not if there were $115,000 at stake! Someone who purchased a Fantasy 5 ticket from the CA Lottery on October 29th at San Francisco News & Gifts (California between Battery and Sansome) still hasn't claimed their jackpot and the ticket is about to expire! Let's get it together, people. Did anyone claim this one yet? We know this is a flaky town, but... anyway... we have to go pick up some dry cleaning from Christmas.

Of course no one has claimed it. There is not such place as "San Francisco News & Gifts (California between Broadway and Sansome)" in my galaxy, because in this space-time continuum, Broadway and California are parallel streets.

This lottery ticket, much like our cat, must have excaped through a worm hole.

Yes... quite right. That was a type-o. Battery and Sansome, not Broadway. Sorry about your cat.

If no one collects the ticket, I hope the two fellas that run that place still get their cut, because they're great guys.

It is after all a tax on stupidity.

I guess no one claimed this after all--I asked about it today when I was in there to buy my Fastpass.

They didn't get their cut because of it, either. Crummy.
