I think the Guy is sitting on that ticket untill he makes up his mind what he wants to do with it. He has a year to claim it, he is probaly talking to finacial advisers I think that is what I would do take my time and figure out what I wanted to do first.

How do you know that you won without the ticket and not knowing what machine sold the ticket; isnt thats where the great power outage was for that drawing , maybe no one won and the prize will go back to the game pool; not Conn. prize money came from all states . If i had a winning jackpot of that amount I dont beleive I could talk about it. JUST SAYING

Correct me if I'm wrong but most states consider lottery tickets bearer instruments which means as long as that ticket is out there - anyone who finds it can sign the back, turn it in, and rightfully collect the money.

For signature-size amounts, you'll need to know some things about the ticket that only the true buyer would know. Otherwise, what's to stop someone from strong-arming a winner's ticket and claiming the prize

Well I truly hope he finds that winning ticket, I think that is what a good friend would wish on another good friend and if he reads this I hope he will remember that good friends always share..I will take ohh just a million dollars, tax free of course, and please make that in hundreds, fifties and twenties.

I remember years ago when the Win for Life games started. People were making claims that they threw the ticket out. LOL,, they started emptying dumpsters, and I think they went into a landfill once. Never found anything..

If he has other older tickets with the same combination showing he played the same combo for months and bought them at the same store and if nobody else claims the jackpot, he may have a shot.

What time do we leave? Should we charter a bus or take separate cars?

Let's take separate cars. We may be able to cover a lot more ground that way.

Karinda, it's just way too early in the morning for you to have me LOL and shaking my head at the same time!

Management, thanks for posting that video. I don't even know what to say about this one except it's not the first time and it won't be the last! If this guy's legit, then I guess he'll hire an attorney to get CTL to review his evidence (the store tape, time of purchase, etc) and declare him the winner - - - but I just don't see that happening. Correct me if I'm wrong but most states c... [ More ]

If the store has recorded video of him purchasing the ticket, that could be used as proof (with a big legal battle). Without that he's just one of millions of players who 'happened to misplace' the winning ticket.

Interesting to see what happens. Might be a hoax. Whenever the jackpot is that big everyone claims to have a winning ticket. If is indeed true I hope they find it. Lottery commission will not pay unless there is proof, otherwise every Tom, Dick Harry will claim to have lost a ticket.
