I never participate in lottery pools because of potential problems like this. In Western Australia, the State Lottery, Lotterywest, is owned and run by the State Government. The other Australian States have sold off their lotteries. Lotterywest also has an excellent App, where people can participate in lottery draws. It is much more convenient than paper tickets.

I remember this story. I felt at the time as well as today that the Parkes were 100% correct. Mr. Ing was trying to scam his way into a six-figure payday. If you are part of a lottery pool and the ticket you provide as proof is a losing ticket.....that means you did not participate in the winning draw. They did not owe him anything.
