Si · 01-06-2009, 02:28 PM

OMG hope he didn't go mad with spending money!

Lord Voldemort · 01-06-2009, 02:29 PM

Tom_PM · 01-06-2009, 02:30 PM

That link crashes explorer for me, just FYI. Wonder when sites will realise they'll make more money by allowing the surfer to............ SURF. haha anyway that sucks for the non-winner

justinsain · 01-06-2009, 02:34 PM

They just had on TV where an old man went to the store to buy him and his wife a lottery ticket. On the way back home he had a heart attack and died.

The ticket turned out to be a ten million dollar winner

dav3 · 01-06-2009, 02:34 PM

wow thats fucked up

firecracker · 01-06-2009, 02:35 PM

OUCH! That sucks!

uno · 01-06-2009, 02:36 PM

If its a printing error they should still pony up the cash.

woj · 01-06-2009, 03:08 PM

Apparently 1000 tickets have the error... they should be recalling those tickets, they're scratch tickets so they should be able to find where they are by asking retailers to scan the specific lottery game in question.

My partner was just telling me about that! Now THAT sucks ... but so does the printing error excuse. What's their ICQ? Lemme at 'em LOL

TeenCat · 01-06-2009, 03:13 PM

what the hell? it was mistake? they sold something so they have to pay the money! or burn in hell suckers!

GeoBeo · 01-06-2009, 03:16 PM

They should definitely pay up anyway. Wouldn't that fall under false advertising or something?

brassmonkey · 01-06-2009, 03:16 PM

damn thats fucked

Jarmusch · 01-06-2009, 03:17 PM

It was probably for the better, money isn't everything.

CamTraffic · 01-06-2009, 03:19 PM

So recall the rest, have the retailers pull em ASAP and get em out of circulation, but give the dude his money, imo.

Looks like Canada is a bad place to win.

Damn,I would be pissed off,wonder if a class action would solve anything

abadfish · 01-06-2009, 07:04 PM

They should definitely honor the tickets.

Deej · 01-06-2009, 07:53 PM

I want to know how they determined they were misprints?

did they know about this before the winner popped? or "upon inspection" have they concluded that it be a mistake?

???

Actually it's a great place to win, you are not taxed on the winnings right off the top like in the US. So this poor MOFO is out the full 135K.

d-null · 01-06-2009, 08:02 PM

so basically they are saying it is all rigged, that the printing on the tickets means nothing and it is predetermined whether a ticket wins or not, which we already knew, but they don't advertise them that way

the instructions on the ticket say that if you match 3 or whatever that it is a winner, they should have to pay up in full, regardless of printing error, they set the rules of the game in the first place

they can put a freeze on selling any more of those tickets, but the ones they already sold should be considered a contract with the purchaser, regardless of what clause they want to back out on

gornyhuy · 01-06-2009, 08:05 PM

lawsuit!!!!

MaDalton · 01-06-2009, 08:19 PM

shit happens sometimes

WiredGuy · 01-07-2009, 07:40 AM

Of course he'll try his luck in court, this was a mere publicity stunt to drive up an out of court settlement. The lottery commission here has spent millions to clean up their image after a few scandals occurred with shady retailers keeping winning tickets that this is the last thing they want. He'll get a settlement out of it.

PornMD · 01-07-2009, 10:36 AM

Wow...lotteries heard about Madoff's $50 bil ponzi scheme and thought ".....you mean we can just not pay people?! Awesome!"

Glitch or not, they SHOULD give the guy SOMETHING for going through the trouble. Taking away something good from someone can be as bad or worse than doing something bad to them.

ztik · 01-07-2009, 10:42 AM

Too bad he wasn't in the US. He could sue and probably win atleast the money but probably more.

pornguy · 01-07-2009, 10:46 AM

Sounds about like the canuks...
