Colorado man who unwittingly split a $4.8M jackpot with scammer is fighting the Colorado LotteryReply
without Eddie s intervention, Amir would not have won Well, he probably wouldn't have won, but there's a very small chance that he would have won anyway. There are two things that are sure.

B.C. Lottery faces lawsuit from second problem gamblerReply
I see it as the Casino holding up their end of the deal. He signed a contract that said they would not pay him his winnings. It doesn't matter that they didn't catch him before, nobody's perfect. If he wins in court, everybody gambling junkie with a contract will be tempted to do the same thing. He claims they violated the contract by allowing him to play but he also violated the contract by playing so it's a wash. It's called personal responsibility. It's a great concept.
