Well you said it won't be helpful but think about it this way When the state of California releases the store surveillance and the store surveillance also shows you filming yourself and both the store surveillance and your iPhone video match at that precise time and second then this case is precisely over

It takes time to go through a legal matter from prehearings to addressing various filings, long before the actual hearing and judge ruling. The court calendars these activities and they do not occur quickly. This costs money and 99% of non attorneys are not qualified to handle these things. So yes, we get paid well. Would you want to lose a strong case for improper or late filings?

Filming yourself buying a ticket is not that helpful. Instead, make copies of the ticket and take a photo.

Rivera is nothing but a Low life Scum . Looks like a low Life talks like a low life Reasons like a low life he should go to jail for six months. This case lasted simple because lawyers smell money Bloody crocodiles l was just thinking one way to deal with this situation is to make a video of yourself buying your ticket especially Huge jackpot so you can present your Video evidence and put this type of Scum Bag to Sleep

Shouldn't the store it was bought in have a surveillance video of the person buying it

Rivera's story doesn't add up. Wouldn't the lottery know if more than one winning ticket was sold? But then that would mean that he and Romero are both lying.

A lottery ticket is a bearers instrument.

A quick internet search tells me the following:

A bearer instrument is a document that gives the holder the rights to the property or securities it represents. The holder is presumed to be the owner, and the instrument can be transferred by simply handing it over to another person.

Bearer instruments can be risky because they can be lost or stolen, and whoever finds them can use them. They can also be difficult to trace in case of disputes.

Reminds me of a story in Ohio where a woman said she lost her jackpot winning ticket in the parking lot at the store where she bought it. Several people looked everywhere for the ticket but it was never found. The search ended when they were told the jackpot winning ticket was sold at a store across town.

with stw1000 and anonymity should be given to any prize of $1 million or more.

This is why every state should be anonymous.

Treat every ticket as a winning ticket! Never show off your lottery tickets! Never know! I feel bad for Rivera, but that's one huge painful lesson that'll cost him more than cry me a river.
