No ! it look like the Chung family all should be going to jail, it's clear they knew exactly what they were doing that why ,they weaved a web of hiding the money. It's not nice to cheat one of what is rightfully theirs.Plus every piece of property should be seized, including the house their living in now.Sent a message to thieves like this , we will take the toilet you sit on.

Americans have a natural aversion and are generally inclined to being against being registered for anything. Especially with the government.

When they proposed Social Security numbers for everybody they promised us the numbers would never be used for identification in anyway - ever.

Well, they lied. It's now the federal government's main means of identifying us and keeping track of us.

We don't get fooled again.

People with the inclination to steal would still find a way to steal.Crooks seem to thrive on the challenge.

I said it before, and I'm still right! Lotteries should allow players to register. It would reduce to possibility of fraud.

the chungs knew they were dealing with inept canadian law enforcement agencies. nothing to fear from them as they continually stumble and bumble their way through this.

It sounds to me that the Chung's were misbehaving. It sure is strange that things have taken so long, the statue of limitations will certainly come into play. Oh well, as the old saying goes, what goes around, will come around . If they're proven wrong and guity, they will get theirs someday.

The Chungs should give back all that money with interest

I'm not sure which gets to me more, that, or the fact they investigated Chung for over a year before they paid her.

Hey ChaosX, I was just about to post.. it looks like Ontario Lottery didn't intend to get the money back from the Chungs. After continued heat from the original owner, the payout that was made has sparked new interest, probably, too late to reclaim original money.

Therefore, there were two winners 7 years ago.

ChaosX — Tue, 15 Nov 2011 17:21:35 GMT

And they even paid the 'original' owner of the ticket... and still waited 7 years

Comment #5

ChaosX — Tue, 15 Nov 2011 17:18:40 GMT

So apparently they launched an investigation that took over a year and still gave her the money.

And now it's 7 years later....

I don't even know what to say, except what others have said: SIGN YOUR TICKET

The Texas Lottery could take a lesson from the Ontario Lottery and give Willis Willis his money too.

It looks to me like the Chung family might have just committed the perfect crime.

Chung family created 'spider web' of properties, bank accounts

More than seven years after a Toronto-area woman cashed in a stolen $12.5 million Lotto Super 7 ticket, Ontario's lottery corporation is trying to recoup the money, but the lengthy wait may have cost the Crown agency.

CBC News has learned that the Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation (OLG) filed a lawsuit in March against the woman who claimed the ticket, Kathleen Chung, and her family and associated companies for deliberatel... [ More ]
