Iowa couple misses deadline to cash $100,000 Powerball ticket

Thanks for your Service.

Ouch! Better luck next time!

In my country you need to be a registered player. If you win big you will automatically get the money into your bank account within 2-3 days.

What a load of crap. Those with the most power and the biggest megaphones can lie all they want; problem is when fools reward them by believing the lies.

The bigger question for me is why do winning lottery tickets even expire?  Will the world end if a win is claimed 2 years after the drawing instead of 1 year or less?  I guess the easy answer is that greedy states hope some people won't claim on time so the money reverts to the state.

The State of Arizona recently came after me for $13 in back taxes ($7 tax plus $6 interest & penalty) allegedly owed for 2016.  I wish I could have told them, "Too late!!  You only had 180 days to collect!!"  Turns out I didn't owe anything.  They made an error.

Did they pay you back your 13 bucks plus interest

I never paid it, but I did have to spend about 2 hours on the phone -- part on hold and part talking with a person -- to get it resolved and have them stop sending me threatening letters about collections.
