Eric White didn't realize he'd left $2.5 million sitting on the desk in the office in his Indianapolis home for six months. On Friday, he and his wife, Lori, cashed in, beating the odds by turning in the winning Hoosier Lotto ticket from the Aug. 19 drawing a week after the lottery officials said the prize wouldn't be awarded because the 180-day deadline had passed.

Iowa court says man can't collect casino winningsNews Story
A man who won more than $9,000 at an Iowa casino can't collect his winnings because he was banned from the casino 10 years earlier, the state Supreme Court ruled Friday.

Claimant lost the ticket but can still prove it otherwise (a receipt). D. Ticket is damaged, so they a

Joint task force created to stop Jamaica lottery scamsNews Story
The feds are cracking down on Jamaican lottery scams, which bilked Americans out of more than $30 million last year, authorities said Tuesday.
