Continuity
When the lottery vendor hands George's bill back, he leans forward with his head straight down. It then cuts to a close-up and his head is tilted.

Continuity

George tells Pop that his car is an '83 model, but when he bought it in the Mom and Pop Store episode it was an '89 model.
When Kramer sits down in the restaurant, he can be seen reaching into his jacket. It then cuts to a very brief shot of George and then back to Kramer, who already has his pipe out and in his mouth, and is preparing to light it.
When the lottery vendor hands George's bill back, he leans forward with his head straight down. It then cuts to a close-up and his head is tilted.
Toward the end of Jerry's opening stand-up routine, around the time Jason Alexander's credit rolls, Jerry's hands are spread out, then right in front of him.

Factual errors

Customers are not allowed behind the register when the register is open and definitely not allowed to touch the money inside it.
Leather is quite effective at stopping water-seepage, so Elaine's entire shirt-front would not have gotten soaked while she had her coat on; only the V-shaped portion of her shirt that was not covered by her coat would have gotten significantly wetted.
Exotic candy would probably be quite expensive, so there is no way that even a whole C-note would purchase six huge cases of the stuff; a hundred bucks' worth might not have even filled one of those boxes.

Revealing mistakes

Pop, played by Sandy Ward, asks George (Jason Alexander) if he can look under the hood of the car and George agrees. He doesn't pop the hood though, and Pop still opens it.
At around the 22-minute mark when the viewer can see through the glasses Jerry is wearing at the theater, he sees a blurry image of Elaine, but the viewer can see Julia Louis-Dreyfus (Elaine) laughing.

Miscellaneous

It takes some effort to pull off a button.

Plot holes

Kramer is told the costume will only fit a short stocky man but yet the mannequin was the size of Kramer.
Lloyd (Matt McCoy) makes the offer to Jerry (Jerry Seinfeld) to introduce him to the gum importer, yet when they go to get more, Jerry remains in the car while Lloyd goes inside alone.

Character error

Elaine (Julia Louis-Dreyfus) states that Lloyd (Matt McCoy) had his nervous breakdown at the same time she broke up with him. Yet back in episode 5.7, The Non-Fat Yogurt (1993), she said he'd stopped calling her & she was worried her weight had been an issue.
George claims the cashier stole $20 from him, saying that he gave her $20 and that she only gave him change for a ten. That means he was only cheated out of $10.
