Whole story short, 9pm yesterday, scratched a ticket and i think (80 percent) it was a star, over a free ticket. So stupidly without reading the the rules, i thought i won the free ticket.

Next morning bought another ticket, and saw if you got a star you win everything, So Right now i drove back to the store asking do they have the thrown out tickets, They said they throw it out at night, and it gone....

Suspiciousmove,

The guy kept saying he gave me a receipt for my winning, but he never did, i Remember him riping it up. SO what can i do now?

[onetrickpony]

sorry bud

[QuangX]

Should i report this to police, or is it gone and done with.

[QuangX]

I had a friend with me and he think (90 percnet) it was a star too. Do you think im just parnoid about this? Or did the clerk really frauded me?

[NYSportsGuy210]

You're a f*ckin moron.

[QuangX]

Dude, honestly We were in a rush, and it was my first time playing that sractcher....

Here is a $10,000 winning ticket, can I trade it in for a free ticket?

[BRAVES1985]

sorry man just forget about it

[Iced]

File a scratch ticket complaint with SBR, they should be able to sort it out for you.

[QuangX]

No, The star was above a free ticket. So i thought It was a free ticket only, but a star means you win everything. BUt im only like 80% sure....

[excel]

80% sure leaves 20% unsure

[ttwarrior1]

happens all the time, even when people check numbers in the computer, they will keep the ticket and say you lost and then have someone they know cash it.

Happens on scratchoffs too. Hell go check the trash

[sparkyasu]

if the guy is working there next week, he didnt fraud you

he suddenly quit, u got played

[QuangX]

No Racial, But it an Indian Own Liquor store, and the guy working there, was very suspicous, becuase he remember me last night with two of my buddies, but he said i won 20-30 bucks.... i only won another ticket.... so it was suspicous. ALso he never gave me the reciept, he just ripped it...

[VegasInsider]

epic fail if true.

You got cheated son those gas stations never throw away winning tickets because they have to get reimbursed at the end of the month for the winners that came out of that roll.Most likely they cheated you since they lied off the bat about the tickets being thrown away.

[QuangX]

Im 80 percent sure, and my friend was too, but his credibility aint alot, so iunnnoo.

[lemart5]

Legally it is their property now since they compensated you for it.

"A search is underway for the rightful owner of a $12.5-million lottery ticket after police charged a Burlington convenience store manager, his father and sister with stealing the winning ticket. [thestar.com] Allegedly, father and son stole lottery tickets, including a free play ticket that should have been given to a customer, at the Variety Plus store where they worked in Burlington. Instead, they say the two men gave the ticket to a female family member."


shit happens??

[QuangX]

But what they doing is scamming. Are you sure that they have to keep the winners?

[lemart5]

You have to prove they defrauded you which will be hard in the first place since you didnt make a copy of the winning ticket.I am quite sure I play the lotto and scratchers all the time.In order for them to get the money they paid you back from the rolls they have to keep the tickets vendors supply them with the tickets and there is a revenue share between store and vendor on money from all losing tickets .They reimburse the store for the winners out that roll then supply them with a new roll.

dont listen to that jackass, what state u in?

[QuangX]

Yeah, but dude probably get his 12.5 million.... So should i bother with reporting this..... IM only 80 percent sure of the situation, got a friend who also 70-80 percent sure.... I do care about the money honestly, but even if i dont get it, should i report it to the law, so people wont get screw over in the future? On the other hand what if that 20 percent of me is wroung.....

[QuangX]

im in California, and it was the Scratch 5 loto

[ttwarrior1]

they dont throw away winning tickets, they have to keep them

[lemart5]

Yes they keep winners for the vendors to reimburse the store.Even if you did win the store wouldent have the cash on hand to satisfy the ticket you would have had to get paid from the vendor of the stores lotto tickets.

[ttwarrior1]

and how would he remember you winning 30, turn them in

[Br0nxer]

thats why a lot of stores have the machine where you can check yourself

saw a show years ago on 20-20. its a big scam. people that work in convenience stores do it all the time

[lemart5]

Onetrickpony I dont know what kind of dumbass you are but this is a rule for all states.

[onetrickpony]

im in California, and it was the Scratch 5 loto

honestly it doesnt matter if it 10k or not, u accepted the free ticket so u have no case either way

[QuangX]

I understand, but do they have to keep the win another ticket? too? If so should i contact the police or the lotto first? So they are lieing

[lemart5]

It becomes their property once they pay you unless you can prove they defrauded you.

[onetrickpony]

look taylor jackass, i run gas stations and its automated this is not the fuking 50's, shit is more sophisticated nowadays

computers keep records of winning tickets and anything above 1k u cant claim at the gas station u have to go the lottery headquarters

[Scottish]
