Kind of sad really. Look at his eyes, maybe the poor guy don't see real good. Good thing he got his money back, now he can go fix his eyes.

So ...Jackson was a regular customer at Rick's Food Mart.

Jackson told store owner Sarabjeet Ricky Singh to throw the old ones away.

Jaswant Sunny Singh went through the trash at the counter but couldn't find anything.

The ticket was not inside, but employees continued to search.

Jackson said I had to go inside the dumpster cause I thought that I had thrown them away for real,

It didn't look good until a little later Ricky Singh remembered where he'd put the trash. Both of the... [ More ]

So what amount do you consider to be a proper tip? Don't just criticize, offer suggestions

Ricky Singh said if he had kept them it would have been like stealing. Which is true. Which also means YOU would be a simple thief and proud of it.

Glad it wasn't you! We see what kind of person you are! Very low character or no character at all!!! The store employees did what they were supposed to do and a tip isn't required at all! When you do things you should do without hesitation, you shouldn't look for something in return! A tip should be given but isn't mandatory! Yes, if it wasn't for the employees the customer wouldn't have anything but again that's what people do that have good character! What was he supposed to do? Give him $1000... [ More ]

GREAT idea and that is how an HONEST lottery SHOULD work. Most here in the US will just wait for the prize to expire then put the money back in the checking account.

I applaud Lotterywest, if they actually follow through with what they say.

The guy finds the tickets, worth $5,000.00 each and all he gets is a $100.00 tip from the winner?

What a cheap snip ing snip .

The guy who found the tickets should have kept them and collected the money for himself if he knew that the guy was only gonna give him a hundred bucks.

Yeah, pretty strange. I checked again with a different source, and they were actually Cash 4 tickets, not Cash 3. I have updated the story with the correct game, as well as some other new information I was able to track down.

By Todd Northrop

Imagine having lottery tickets worth $10,000, and then realizing you had thrown them away.

That's precisely what happened to Cedric Jackson of Rome, Georgia, over the weekend. But the story doesn't end there.

Jackson was a regular customer at Rick's Food Mart, 2000 N. Broad St., and went to the store early Saturday morning to buy new Cash 4 tickets.

He has played the lottery every day for five years, picking the same numbers for weeks until he wins a prize.
