    Right -that's all interesting. I bought a couple lottery tickets for tonight's draw and haven't checked them yet. One might be worth  $26,000,000. I hardly ever buy lottery tickets but yesterday I found 25 cent coin on the floor in the mall so that was my inspiration to try my luck one more time.

    I once sold a ticket stub that I picked up off the floor at a 1978 baseball game at Yankee Stadium, in which a pitcher struck out 18 batters, for $306 on eBay. This post was edited by Stu Spelling Bee at September 30, 2018 8:09 AM MDT

      I'm surprised at you, Stu, for letting that comma-crime go without even a word. Tsk, tsk. 

    :(

    How on earth does it make a used ticket stub valuable ....there must be thousands of them dished out on the day...who in there right mind would even want it...
    How astute were you to realize someone out there would buy it ....I bet the ground cleaners there must make fortunes picking up all the used tickets and selling them....Lol

      (Comma after the word "up".)

      I agree with you, Element, I know she'll never change; "changing people" is never my goal. Neither will they change me; I'll keep doing my grammar thing as much as I want to.

    Stubs from most games aren't worth much, but in this particular one, a famous pitcher named Ron Guidry recorded 18 strikeouts (of 27 outs over nine innings). This is among the most ever - the record is 20 - for one game and established a new Yankees team record. Fortuitously, I held on to that little thing for more than 35 years, from picking it up two weeks before my 18th birthday to selling it in my mid-50s!

    I wonder why would pay so much for it though....it's just a ripped bit of card after all...if some guy told me he'd paid $306 for that......I'd tell his mummy to smack his arse.....lol

      (Comma after the word "currency".)

    It separates the two clauses of your sentence.
