CONOVER, N.C. (AP) – A store clerk’s slip-up at the cash register has paid off big time.
Wadburn Allen on Tuesday accidentally rang up two duplicate Powerball tickets for a customer in this western North Carolina town. At the end of the day, after she was unable to sell the second ticket, Allen paid for it herself.
The next day, Allen returned to the store and found the ticket matched all five numbers—earning her a $200,000 jackpot.

REMEMBER, remember, back in March when there was the big powerball jackpot. And, I wasted the two bucks buying the clerk’s “mistake”, Here it is! I’m telling you, if I hadn’t bought that mistake Mister Murphy (of Murphy’s Law fame) would have smacked me upside the head. As it was, he decided no lesson was required. Argh!
Here’s my post. http://tinyurl.com/24o7w7 Score one for blogging!
How do you think that customer felt sharing the jackpot with the “mistaken” clerk?

Since when can employees buy lottery tickets at the store they work at? I thought that was a ‘no-no’, but maybe I just don’t follow it that closely enough.
