This guy should have kept his ticket in a better place then stuffed down in his jeans. Besides if you read the fine print on the back of the ticket it says that the ticket is the only bearer of instrument that you have to collect winnings. If the ticket is altered in anyway the ticket is void. He washed it and he is an idiot go straight to jail do not pass go do not collect $200.-weshar75

I think that if he has video tape of him buying the ticket at the EXACT time that matches what The lotto has on there records of the winning ticket and at the same location ... should he get the money? Yes I do. BUT if he is just claiming that he had the winning ticket and no proof then he is S-C-R-E-W-E-D But I know that anyone with some sense and is a true player will hold on to that ticket in a SAFE PLACE

Of course he can't win.

Robert W. Palese isn't folding just yet.

The 49-year-old Bear resident filed an appeal in Delaware Supreme Court last week challenging a judge's decision to dismiss his claim that he was entitled to a $5 million lottery prize even though he lost the winning ticket in a laundry mishap.

Last month, Chancery Court Vice Chancellor John W. Noble said Palese didn't have a claim because he no longer had the wining ticket.

He was disappointed at the decision, said Palese's attorney, Patrick J... [ More ]
