Quote: hatty "Yes you can claim it, go to the bookie and explain, tell them when you put it on and write the slip out again they can then compare the slip with the original. It happened to me a couple of years ago except i left the winning slip in my jeans and washed them!!
BTW I had £5 on Tommy for MOM at 16/1 oh happy days'"
I went into Coral on the weekend hoping they could retrieve it and i was pretty confident of the exact date i put it on. Buth they were really struggling so i decided to cut my losses. Anyways, 5 mins later they pulled me round to behind the till because they believed they'd found it. Showed me a scan of the ticket on the computer and it definately was mine, could tell by the hand writing and that. But the reason they couldn't find it earlier was because somebody had already cashed it in the weekend before.
The barstewards, they've just made my list of enemies right behind Barbara Streisand and Galaxy music, hopefully they've stole my season ticket and sit in my seat next season.
