Man finally wins lottery claim from washed-up ticketNews Story
A Spaniard has won a six-year court battle to claim the equivalent of about $50,000 US from a winning lottery ticket that went through a washing machine and came out in pieces.The organization running the lottery, the National Organization of Blind Spaniards, had refused to pay out on grounds the pieces might stem from a scam - a bunch of tickets washed intentionally and then snippets put together to look like a ticket with the winning five-digit number.But a Madrid court ruled Thursday that pla

I think the state needs to use this incident to show the importance of double checking tickets and signing them. To be honest I don't think the 2 guys had the w

I agree that the guys that bought the ticket should have been able to tell for themselves if it was a winner but who knows they might not be americans and couldn't read it. However they trusted the person to check the ticket as being a winner of a fourty dollar prize they sho

Did anyone ever think about this?
Ok. Here's the theory.You cannot see the phone cord connecting the terminal to the phone jack, which connects the terminal to the lottery network to enter in the ticket, but the machine independently generates quick picks, and independently prints the tickets. There is also a training mode for the terminal (at least in PA there is), which does not require connection to the computer system since it is training mode, and it will print out tickets in which the numbers are not entered into the state

Lottery ticket plucked from trash wins $100,000Reply
Quote: Originally posted by tg636 on February 17, 2005But if I toss that $100,000 because the person working the lottery machine tells me it's not a winner and is worthless, that's not dropping $100,000 in the street. That's making a real effort to ask someone representing the lottery if it's a winner and not getting the correct answer.When you speak with a clerk working in the place where you buy your lottery tickets, you're not speaking to someone representing the lottery. In some cases, you'
