Lottery "winner" withheld $500,000 "winnings" due to ticket misprint

Man Told $500K Winning Lotto Ticket a "Misprint"


A New Mexico man who thought he'd struck it rich on a lottery scratcher says he was told his win was a misprint.
John Wines bought a scratch-off lottery ticket from a Shell gas station in Roswell, NBC affiliate KOB reported.

Although the maximum payout for the ticket is $250,000, Wines discovered five winning numbers that totaled over $500,000.
But when Wines went to claim his prize, a gas station attendant told him he wouldn’t be collecting the money.

Re: Lottery "winner" withheld $500,000 "winnings" due to ticket misprint

If I was John Wines, I'd sue. The article says they offered him $100 in lottery tickets, but it also says the misprint included a clear indication he had won $250,000 -- that was no misprint. They're just trying to get out of paying him for their mistake.
