A good thing to do is turn them into vouchers if you can. They last longer.

I got a call from Evangeline Downs today and based on my unfortunate outcome and my suggestion, they will start printing the 90 day rule on all tickets and post it at the betting facility.

Even though I could not cash my ticket, they have offered to comp me dinner next time in LA

Well, at least that's something. I can imagine how aggravating missing the deadline must have been to you. I can accept thousand dollar losses just fine if I think I played the game correctly (blackjack or video poker, for example), but if I lose $100 due to a blunder, it'll tick me off hugely.

This would be my second time missing out on an uncashed winning ticket. The other time was when i was 11, my mom washed my pants that had a $12 winning ticket that turned to pulp in the washing machine.

Well, even if you're just 21 now, one blunder a decade is an acceptable error rate!
