Women voids her $30 million dollar winning lottery ticket.
A St. John's lottery player may have saved a dozen dollars while cancelling an overcharged lottery ticket, but missed out on a $30-million jackpot.
A customer at the Corner Store, a convenience store in the Goulds neighbourhood of St. John's, ordered a $12 ticket on May 21, leading up to that night's Atlantic Lottery Lotto Max jackpot.
"The [clerk] printed it off and made a mistake on the machine, and it came out $27. She offered it to the customer and she said, no, she didn't want it," store owner Shawn Noel told CBC News on Thursday.
The clerk followed procedure and immediately voided the ticket, meaning that the numbers printed were put back into play.

However, no other ticker buyer in Atlantic Canada purchased them, meaning that a $30-million jackpot went unclaimed.
"Bad, bad luck," Noel said with a chuckle.
"It's nobody's fault. Rules were followed, right to the T. Right by the book."
Noel and his store shared in the loss of luck. As the vendor, he would have pocketed one per cent of the prize, or $300,000 — or, as he called it, "a nice little chunk" of cash.

Great sites to use your iPad with.
The vimeo video website is easily one of the best sites to use your iPad on. Full html5 video, so need for flash.
