I agree with all of the comments,thats not her fault they ticket was faulty if she still has the original ticket sue them for her and me because it may happen to me and if they get away doing it to her they may want to try it again.I like my Florida scratch and win so please lottery officials do what is right.

[They said, under the number two, a partial printing of an abbreviation for 22 appears, so the lottery decided the mistake should play out in their own favor.]
Printing error is a weak statement coming from the lottery. I would want to know what the bar code said for a payout figure. Exact order chaser

They said it was a twenty dollar winner. I would guess NO TICKETS out there have two winners on the ticket for 20 bucks and 250000 bucks. Therefore it probably was really a misprint, but it is absolutely appalling for the lottery to not pay this out, unless they are fearful there are hundreds of others out there. Then they better recall the game. But pay this woman, it is bad enough the lottery is the absolute worst bet in the history of bets. Now I know why more people go to the casinos.

I don't care if it was a misprint, THEY SHOULD PAY HER. It's THEIR stupid mistake. She's had the thrill and shock of winning, let her have the money too!

Any good lawyer should probably be able to at least get her half or 100K in a settlement.
