In Tamaqua, PA last summer a woman refused her lotto ticket because the cashier
typed in one wrong number.  The cashier typed up a new ticket for the woman and
he played the ticket she refused.  The woman hit 5 numbers and won about $1K
while the cashier had all 6 numbers and collected a cool $1M (the difference 
being the mistyped number).
