The jist...

67 year old man wins a million - takes the ticket to the cashier at the store. Cashier scans it in - says "it's not winner" but gives him $2. The ticket is INDEED a winner - clerk redeems the ticket for $1 mill... then returns to his home country (Nepal). Judge freezes the clerks U.S accounts and awards the old man with $395k. Clerk has another account in Nepal w/ 300k sitting in it that the Nepal gov has frozen --- but it could take months for the man to get it back (IF at all). LOL.

DAMN!

THAT is why you sign EVERY lottery ticket you buy when you get it - ORR you just check online instead of trusting some1 who makes $6/hour to be honest enuff to tell you that you're a millionaire.

i agree he should have just gone and cashed it out himself.

the old man did not know he had a winning ticket..

When you scan the ticket, it doesnt tell you much you have won, it will say to report to the nearest lotto office.. ( it will say this with any lotto ticket that wins over $599.00 )

I bet the cashier didnt even know it was a million dollar ticket until he checked himself w/ a visual check of the actual numbers picked.

^^ You don't get it ... it wasn't an "instant" (scratch-off) ticket. It was a regular ticket. When you take it to a cashier the machine says "congratulations - you are a winner" and that's it. It doesn't say the amount. So the cashier is at will to give you whatever amount he/she wants. LOL. If I get a ticket I check it online - not at the store.
