Would you check your numbers before you let a store clerk check for youReply
You can ask for a print out and check yourself. In georgia most of all the store put out the printout on the counter. The problem is most people trust the store clerk, and most don't read that store clerk and owner can be thiefs. Some are old and they don't believe that the places they have played at, were they talk to the people everyday would scam them. sign your ticket trust no one

I think I got ripped offReply
One word of advice: Never let a clerk throw your ticket in the garbage. Even if they tear it in half, demand it back. It's yours, you paid for it and it's the only way to prove they paid you the wrong amount. That's one of the scams some of the more unscrupulous clerks use to cash in on your ticket.

Wierd QuestionReply

The story indicates the real winner will get $365,000 of his money. I wouldn't call that a destroyed life. Better than most scam victims recover.

Five-time lottery winner accused of taking ticket from groupReply
An apologetic Koprnicky told the Sun last week he had made a mistake and assumed something, it just wasn't there. May if Koprnicky did some jail time, he might learn the seriousness of making a formal claim to the lottery commission that he as part of a group had an agreement to share the lottery winnings of someone who had never heard of him. He probably thought by including the group, members of the groups would back his scam for a share of the winnings even if it included lying in court. ...
