One New Jersey lottery player wins $429.6 million Powerball jackpotReply
I'm not saying they vanished as much as I'm saying they never existed to begin with. The 1/3 California and the NJ jackpost winners have not showed up. Meanwhile, the jackpot goes back down to 40M without the lottery having to pay any money. Does the 7-11 in NJ have security cameras? They know the exact date and time the powereball machine spit out that ticket. From the security cameras, find out who purchased it. But that won't happen. Why?

California Lottery officials seized surveillance footage from store that sold Powerball ticketReply
While the drawing is random, every ticket sold is logged in a database with a lot of information, including where it was sold and the date and time. With hundreds of millions at stake it is possible that a dispute over ownership of the ticket could ensue and video of who actually purchased the ticket could be important. If someone who differed from the purchaser showed up there would likely be questions as to how that person came to possess the ticket before they would pay out the winnings.

Lottery winner loses ticket, awarded unspent portion from couple who found itReply
That is what I am thinking! If I found a signed ticket or a lost paycheck.....I would know that it isn't mine. Since those documents obviously are attached to a particular individual. In that case....it might be easier to track down the name attached to the document. Same applies to a wallet or vehicle. Those will either have an ID/credit card that can be traced back to the rightful owner. A vehicle has a VIN# that can track down the registered owner. An unsigned ticket....is simply tha
