To track these tickets. Where and when they were bought. Did the greedy woman buy the ticket there? I don't know. But I'm wondering after looking at the video again, it looks like Sharon picked it out of a container in front of the counter. Did the clerks hand over the bin, or was that bin there like a trash can? The greedy woman I guess couldn't see she matched the number 7. And that there is a re-entry game. People like her shouldn't really play if they can't even understand a matching number and the prize. She NEVER would have anything if the ticket was never found. She should at least allow the woman who did the work for her get her debts paid off.
