finding a big winning ticket and claiming it then finding someone else connected to the store (customer/worker) was taking claim to it

and took the case to court.

You'd think that if it's in the dumpster there would be no pro... [ More ]

Hey everyone, first post on here and i am hoping for some good answers. I am a father of two always looking for ways to earn some extra money for my kids. I used to buy scratchers in California every once and a while but recently, i entered a couple tickets that i found on the ground into the 2nd chance drawing. I didn't win but then i thought about the prospect of taking non-winning tickets from the trash and entering all of those codes. So i started doing that when i left for work in the morni... [ More ]
