Statute of limitations has probably kick in by now. Bellyache, you must be a very forgiving person.

My ex-girlfriend's family stole from me in the mid-to-late 1990s. I work with her son at my job, but I avoid him.

Chewie your comments are nothing more than bigotry. Nowhere in the article does it appear this man was milking the system. I happen to be a lawyer, and I take exception to your implication that all lawyers are without merit in their work for clients. Believe it or not, lawyers have to eat and pay bills too. Just as teachers, laborers, and any other profession. Stereotyping lawyers, and the remark about the taco is shameful.Please tell me what you do for a living. I'm sure I can find some nast...

Tell ya what, you tell a lawyer in NYC you have a claim for a million plus and he would be beating down doors and filing lawsuits left and right. They do this for a living. And there are plenty of non-english speaking people in this area that know how to milk the system. Word would spread faster then the results of a taco.BTW, you wait for you government to take action, and you have the initiative of a turtle. They're still passing out medals from WWII and Viet Nam. Just now getting the pap... [ More ]

Chewie: Nogales is in Mexico. The man purchased the ticket in Arizona and he was likely from Mexico. The government he was waiting on was the US. The victim had apparently consulted an attorney and the attorney seems to have had trouble keeping tabs on his client as well, which is not so unusual when you are speaking of people crossing into the US. I would imagine the lawyer knew money was nvolved from the start, otherwise why would he need to assist his client in getting what was rightfully h... [ More ]

It's too bad that people can't check their own tickets carefully. If they could these kind of crimes wouldn't happen.

He already knew he was the winner; he was just waiting for a response from the government, Then why did the state have to track him down? What Government was he waiting for? Where did the lawyer come from? Doesn't sound like this lawyer did a lot of checking on behalf of his client, until some one told him there was money involved.When you steal lottery winning, leave the country. If you deposit the money, they will catch you.

Once again, another case of where you should NEVER give your tickets to a retailer IF YOU HAVEN'T CHECKED THEM FIRST
