I've only let one expire, and I actually hadn't. It was exactly the 60th day on a ticket with a 60-day limit from Boulder Station, but when I went to cash it, they said it had expired. The issue was that the month of February had elapsed between my play and my attempt to cash the ticket. February only having 28 days generally, they caused me a great deal of grief because I tried to cash on (for example, I don't recall exactly as this was several years ago) 3/20 when I had played on 1/19. The cashier simply did not want to listen to reason when I explained that she shouldn't look at the dates, it was the number of days that mattered. After a good 40 minutes, discussions with two managers, and a little speech to me, they finally cashed the ticket. It was such a hassle, and for no reason whatsoever. Now I only hold on to tickets if I know for sure I'll be back to that casino within the next couple of weeks.
