Suppose you found your misplaced lottery ticket could been worth $16 million, but cash in date had expired only 2 days previous to this date

Would you keep it a hush hush secret to yourself or tell about your misfortunate happening?

    I can't even imagine that happening, because I would look at the expiration date right away - before checking numbers. 

    I try not to share bad news very often, in general. Everyone has their own stuff, ya know?

    "that could have been..." and comma after million.

    If you didn't buy the ticket but only found it after the expiration date, what was your loss? It's not as if you could have cashed it. This post was edited by Stu Spelling Bee at October 29, 2021 6:50 PM MDT

    I meant it as though I had bought the ticket then forgot about it and had also misplaced it.

    Oh... I didn't pick that up either. 

    I don't do lottery, so I still can't imagine it. I would probably be embarrassed to tell people, though. (Chris Farley smacking himself in the head saying "stupid, stupid idiot". If anyone remembers his SNL characters..).
