. "We tell people: 'Check your tickets! Hey, you never know,' "New York Lottery spokesman John Charleson says. So, if you are a regular buyer of Lotto and other types of Lotteries, it makes sense to establish a simple check list for validating and monitoring the lottery numbers. Similar check list should be applied for any type of deposit, savings bonds, or any family property in case you have been unable to track it.
