    Man wins $135k told ticket was a mistake!

    A Toronto-area man who won $135,000 on four scratch-off lottery tickets has been told they were printing mistakes, and he won't be given the prizes.

                  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

                      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

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

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

                                                                                              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
