I predict that they will say sorry nothing we can do about it, as your notification was the website that your wife checked. I'm sure someone there claimed your winnings once the 30 days expired anyways. Too bad.

Well, I got the call today. They will honor the ticket.
It seems that the person that sold the tickets, never turned in the stubs or money. They tried to contact him. They sent a registered letter and his phone was disconnected.
This ticket was put off by the PA Friends of the NRA.
I think this says alot for this organization, to honor a ticket that old. The guy apologized and was pretty nice about it.
They had no ticket stub and therefore didn't know who to contact. I just have to send a copy of the ticket. It's in the mail box!

This is the first time I ever won anything on a ticket.
I really have no idea what caliber to get. Maybe something for coyotes.
22-250 maybe. Might see if I can sell it and get a new bow.
Really don't know what to do.
Don't need a big game rifle.

Trading it in for a new bow, nothing wrong with that to me, im a big bow hunter and will be getting one next year, if you might trade it in then maybe get a caliber that would cost more, although that might not me an option, either way congrats you lucky little, better stop there, wish i could win a gun though,

WOw, I was way wrong! Congrats. I guess there are still some organizations that have integrity. Very rare these days, where $ rules everything and people only really look out for themselves.
