I am asking the wrong poster?

This wasn't you?

' I don't know about that state but in NYC winning tickets are valid for one year. With that being said i know in that state 7 years is invalid.

Well, Australia hasn't been a state for as long as NYC, and they haven't fully adapted to the usual US norms yet. Maybe down the road they'll get on board and cut that time limit back a bit.

I mined bitcoin a decade ago but have been unable to locate my wallet. I know there were at least $220 million there. My friend Jimmy was a witness to said mining. Do I have a strong case

I think a Joey stole it and hid it in her mom's pouch.

The US could adapt to Australian norms, here's' one;

Lottery Winning Taxes for Australia The winner takes it all in Australia. Lottery winnings and other forms of gambling are not taxed at all. The only people that pay income taxes are those who punt every day and are considered professional gamblers.

Another is the NP option on the play slops, No Publicity. Even though there are more anonymous states now it's still a good idea.

She and her sons were even given three attempts each in guessing the approximate time and what manner it was purchased(solo or multiple picks and how many). They could not even guest their way

I agree with you on this as well! On a side note, 22k in winnings during 2020? Wow, that is pretty nice! Congratulations.

Just re-read the article again TWICE and SMDH. Putting notes on stranger's windshields asking them if they saw her buy lottery tickets?

The Lott, one would think, would cut down that ridiculous long time---10 years---to claim your prize to something more reasonable like a year. Bookkeeping would be much easier.

No ticket no pay, simple as that.

Unfortunate cautionary tale. Hoarders should always take pictures of their tickets.

Doesn't matter how sure you are sugar butt the ticket is 7 years old. I don't know about that state but in NYC winning tickets are valid for one year. With that being said i know in that state 7 years is invalid. And she's trying to tell people don't lose track of your tickets so this won't happen to them.. Well duh we all that play should know that.. If they pay her anything its definitely a double standard.

Jeff, remember that woman a couple of years ago that was playing the penny machine at a casino and the Bells went off saying she won a couple Million dollars? She wanted the casino to pay out, but they offered her a Steak Dinner, said the machine malfunctioned. The lotteries are not stupid, if they opened this door, there would be a floodgate of unsubstantiated claims of l know l won $15 million etc etc years later.

Isn't that like breaking up with someone, they go through two marriages when... [ More ]

No ticket no money. Kind of hoping that she finds it and TEN years to claim. If the world were mine that would be cut down to one year.

I'm not a lunatic. I'm fighting to be listened to.

By Kate Northrop

An Australian woman is suing The Lott for $2 million (US$1.55 million) after she supposedly lost a winning lottery ticket for a drawing that took place seven years ago, proving just why it is so important that players hang onto and keep track of their physical tickets.

Kathy Jasmine Rado, 59, of Cairns is pulling out all the stops to try and get The Lott to pay out the $2 million prize that she is claiming she won. She... [ More ]
