Massachusetts store clerk indicted after stealing lottery ticket worth $3 million from customerReply
That's interesting, G5. I read through the CA regulations and the only instance of bearer instrument is this paragraph talking about tickets bought at the pump. Receipts issued by Fuel Pump Terminals that indicate numbers played are not traditional Lottery Tickets, are not bearer instruments, have no cash value, and are not evidence of the right to the chance to win a Prize or Promotional Award in a Lottery game. Elsewhere in the regs I also found this paragraph: If the Lottery esta

Iowa Lottery retailer accuses store manager of buying ticket he knew won $100,000Reply
If you want to know happens, ask the lottery. I sent an email to the Md lottery. A person goes to a chain store, High's, Wa-Wa, 7/11, Giant, Safeway, etc and buys a Mega Millions or Power Ball ticket. Then the customer says, there is a mistake, I don't want the ticket and they leave the ticket at the store. The store video camera confirms this. Since it's a MM or PB ticket it can't be canceled. No one else wants it or buys the ticket and then the day after the drawing a second store emp

VIDEO: May's Weekly Roundup in lottery newsReply
I believe it is not the state's job to hunt down lottery winners. If a person takes the time and money to buy a ticket, it shouldn't be that hard to go online and check the ticket. Only takes a minute and a couple of clicks. Can't speak for all states, but Tx Lottery does not keep unclaimed money. Unclaimed prizes revert back to the state for programs authorized by the Texas Legislature, including the Foundation School Fund and Fund for Veterans' Assistance , which are the primary benefi
