Arizona Lottery delays expiration date of $12.8 million jackpot-winning ticket in legal battleReply
A n unprecedented move by the AZ Lottery, extending the expiration date, which would have been yesterday(May 23). What future problems will arise by extending the expiration date of the winning ticket? I can think of hundreds. And this extension of the expire date was all at the request of Circle K. They probably do have an interest in being awarded this money. Now the manager cannot be located to be served his summons. HMMM....did he quit? Doubt it. Did Circle K fire him. Probably. Will his abs

Arizona lottery retailer employee sued after buying $12.8 million ticket knowing it was a winnerReply
Well those things rarely happen in precedent setting cases without counsel having participated in fraud, missing court ordered deadlines over and over and general outrageous conduct. I have seen it happen in two divorce cases where a friend and an acquaintance married bums and regretted it a few years later. Both husbands kept changing their Counsel every few months because they did not pay their prior attorneys and engaged in lying to the court about not being able to attend court hearings sinc

I know that this is technically not a lottery question, it's about PCH Sweepstakes bankruptcy .Reply
A mortgagee doesn't even have to be current on their mortgage. If the borrower is current, the bank wouldn't initiate a foreclosure. Why would they? They don't want the house. They want the principle and interest payments. Bankruptcy protects the borrower by putting a bankruptcy court between the borrower and their creditors. As long as a judge is between the bank and the borrower, the bank can't foreclose on the home. After the bankruptcy is filed, the court will require the borrower

Circle K asks judge to delay expiration date for $12.8 million Arizona Lottery jackpot amid disputeReply
That will be an interesting outcome but I doubt it. Circle K must file proper motions in court to secure an injunctive order of the court that blocks actual delivery of funds to the clerk because the clerk had used a non salable property of Circle K to secure the funds and the financial property must be forfeited to Circle K. If the clerk can file before the expiration date I believe he will move for that action than let the ticket expire altogether. If the ticket expires, Circle K c
