Duh, you have to use a torch/match/lighter then set the Detector to "Carbon" setting.

Reminds me when my daughter called and said she had a "Horse shoe" popped up on her cars Gauges
I told her she had Low tire pressure. Just make sure when the "Genie Lamp" comes on make 3 quick wishes.

That ones the OIL indicator.

If the man that found the winning Powerball Ticket in his' shirt pocket was a member of Treasure Net, do you think the find would get a Banner?

Only if he had more than a few forum posts then showed the in situ pic of the ticket in his pocket.

I guess he's no longer worried about finances. Awesome!

If he is like most Lottery Jackpot winners, then give him a year or two and then he will likely worry about finances again. I state this because most folks that win big on the Lottery, spend all of their' winnings within 18 months and then have to declare bankruptcy.

I wouldn't be showing Tnet my ticket I'd be on a plane to one of those islands to rebuild called the "Saints".
I would be building a one room concrete hut with an outdoor bar and a great view. I like Saint Lucia :)

When I saw the title, and before I opened the thread... I thought, 24 million can't fit in a shirt pocket...

Then I grabbed a micrometer and measured a bill... .004" thick (a little thicker in some spots)...

So 240,000 $100 bills... a stack 960 inches, or 80 feet tall... That Can't fit in a pocket!!!!!

But, yeah, a lottery ticket... That'll fit in your pocket.

Did you think about a 100,000 gold certificate?
U.S. Bureau of Engraving and Printing - $100,000 Gold Certificate
Ooops those are not legal.
How about a 10,000 note

Yes, if they can't handle money well before they win big, they won't after either.
