I hope he wins the case. Go Larry, go!

I hope he wins with intrest!

How many years did he get behind bars? I hate how people think that it's ok to steal from other people just because everybody else's doing it. That's always their excuse. It's not right, and they'd be lucky if God helps their soul. Though I doubt that they care unfortunately.

So where did that other money go?  The lottery has it.  Hope this guy wins the case.  Its hard enough to win anything in the lottery and now they want to keep all those millions that should have gone to Luck Larry?  Screw them.  Put me on that jury!

"Dawson's injuries were too speculative."

Sure they are. If the "winning" numbers hadn't been rigged maybe somebody else would have won that drawing, or the higher jackpot would have resulted in higher ticket sales and somebody else winning before Dawson did. It's also possible that all sorts of other things would have been different, and maybe Dawson wouldn't even have won.

What's absolutely certain is that there's about $9 million in cash that belongs to the prize pool and should have gone to some winner(s) of Hot Lotto that the states kept for themselves. Maybe it shouldn't (all) go to Dawson, but it should definitely go to players.

Dawson already WON $9 million and he's going to waste it all on a Lawyer, theirs way to many variables in all this, who's too say that Dawson would've won $25 million some one else could have had a Winning Ticket, maybe Dawson would not have even Won the $9 mill. he Won to begin with, that he's now spent trying to get More! 

I'd be more then Happy with even a few Millions, I'd still have some to share!

Good point, but remember we are looking at this from the outside.  Once you win that much your view changes a bit.  Maybe he is willing to 'spend' the money to see if he can win. Maybe he just wants to 'make a point' about this and is willing to spend the money to do it? 

.. It's no different than the woman who allowed Gloria to " cut in line" coming out & saying that the winning ticket could have been her's but instead went to Gloria. Nothing but speculation. 

It's vastly different. The woman who let McKenzie go first did so voluntarily. Even if it was an absolute certainty that she would have had the winning ticket if she hadn't let McKenzie go first she wouldn't have any claim on the prize, and the state didn't withhold any money that should have gone to players.

There's absolutely no question at all that there's $9 to $10 million (cash value) that should have been paid out to someone. The only question is who would have won it if Tipton hadn't (allegedly) rigged the drawing, but there's no question about the uncertainty cutting both ways. Dawson was very definitely the first legitimate jackpot winner since the jackpot began growing after the previous jackpot was won, and it's absolutely impossible to prove that his jackpot wouldn't have been $9 to $10 million bigger if Tipton hadn't rigged the drawing.

good point.
