The joy of winning the lottery is not only a high that makes people feel relieved of their current financial situation, but can also cause a sort of paranoia in the act of hiding the winning ticket until it can be cashed.

There are many places you can hide a ticket, from a desk drawer to a can of coffee to a box of cereal. But some people engage in odd or extreme ways to hide that ticket that may seem a tad dysfunctional or even crazy.

Food and Drink

The refrigerator or freezer is a common place for players to hide their ticket. Be it inside a package of cheese slices, deep in the middle of the frozen food, or frozen solid in the middle of a container of ice, the ticket needs to be isolated from any moisture or it will become damaged and unredeemable.

Most players pack the ticket in a zipper sandwich bag, or two, or ten, to keep it dry.

You would also have to do this if you were stashing the ticket on the inside of the toilet tank, under the sink, or at the bottom of the used litter of the kitty box. Ick!

Around the home

Players have been known to stash their ticket in the back of picture frames and between pages of a book. Some encase them within the walls of their house or underneath floorboards, under tables or chairs, high up in cupboards, low down in cupboards, or under a carpet.

Gardening enthusiasts may bury their ticket in the garden beside the roses or amongst the tomato plants.

Even pets

Animal lovers will stash the ticket in boxes or bags of dog food, or within the dog food, dog treats, or cat kibble itself. Speaking of dog food, why not hide your ticket in the dog kennel or dog house or wrap it up in a vial and attach it to a collar of your evil Chihuahua? No one is going to risk their fingers for a ticket, right?

Foodies will go for anything that can hold food like in a sugar bag, box of tea bags, can of bread crumbs, or the Pink Himalayan salt.

More serious methods

Of course, some people may take the ticket to their bank and hide it in their safety deposit box, which is probably the most logical and normal idea.

Then again, one may do this and also create a little Russian nesting doll protection…such as putting the ticket first in a high-quality mousetrap…that has been encased in cement…with porcupine quills sticking out of it.

Then in the safety deposit box…with a wax seal…wrapped entirely in duct tape…just to be sure. Better make that two layers of duct tape.

Something old

Others hide their ticket in antique or old items such as tea or coffee pots, broken motorcycle gas tanks, old car exhaust pipes, old record players or eight-track machines, kettles, bread boxes, or an old jukebox with a picture of Elvis on the front.

Or if you want to hide your ticket in plain sight, simply tape it to the picture of dogs playing poker as one of the cards. Unless someone really looks hard, the ticket will blend right in.

Keep it on you

Others like to hide their ticket on their person. Not in the pocket, mind you. People can pick your pockets.

Think more along the lines of “personal” areas such as bras, socks, underwear, etc.

Some even paste or pin their tickets to the inside of their shirt or pants.

And a select few may even have their ticket “embedded” through skin grafting so no matter where they are, the ticket is guaranteed to be with them.

It really isn’t wise to go to some of these extremes just to hide your winning ticket.

Select a place that no one knows. Before stashing it away, make several photocopies of both sides and hide those in different places as well.

Hiding your winning ticket is not the most important thing you need to do. The most important thing is to remember exactly where you hid the ticket!
