Senior moment I think

Yesterday, I took my 2 Mega Million cards to play for last night. I handed the card to the clerk, who didn't look much younger than I am, and told her I thought I'd hit the mega ball on one. I gave her a 20 and expected to get 2 or 3 dollars back. She said no, I hadn't hit, and gave me my cards and tickets. I went home and checked and saw that I'd hit 22 last Friday. I was trying to figure out what was going on, and it finally hit me-I had given her the cards, but not the tickets. I had to laugh. We both messed up. I'll stop back in and try again.
