The state should be very careful with the games that they provide to the public. It should be for the people and not to take advantage of them. For sure they don't want the people to lose trust on the lottery.

Face palm on this one! Those scratch offs seem to be purposely confusing, which is why I don't play scratch offs. This dude needs to take advanatage of this.

he received plenty of offers from attorneys across the state to handle a class action lawsuit

And yet there was no shortage of ambulance chasers ready to take his money on a certain losing case. Which is why I like my previous solution.

He dropped the case for one reason only....

but none would take his case on a contingency basis.

There was no reason for him to pay all that money out because he lost on a $5 lottery ticket.

It was a weak case since no one wanted to take it on a contingency. Spending several hundred thousand to litigate would not have been wise. And the little guy does tend to lose 999 times out of 1000. I am not saying it is fair, but sometimes it is better to just move forward.

I don't recall anybody, ever winning, any substantial amount from the lotteries, through litigation ever. The little guy always seems to get the shaft. It's good to be the king/queen.

In my opinion this old boy might have just done the greates mistake in his life.why? this is an opportunity to claim $ 1M in compensation for violation of lottery rules.many are the times that these lottery states collect millions of dollars in profit and they wouldn't have minded giving back just $ 1M.

I am really obtimistic that many comments to follow will echo the same.

Man changes his mind about suing Washington Lottery

Lottery Post — Mon, 02 Sep 2013 11:41:52 GMT

The Kennewick, Washington, man says he has decided to back off plans to sue the Washington State Lottery Commission over a misleading scratch card game.

Ken Goldsmith raised objections with state lottery officials in June claiming the Red Hot 5s scratch card was misleading, giving many ticket holders, including himself, the impression they had won the $55,555 grand prize.
