Not having any repercussions for putting up fake numbers means the lotto could just choose a set of numbers nobody picked, put them up in "error" and hope someone that did get the winning numbers gets duped into believing they lost. Is that something the lotto should be allowed to do? AlCalavicci posted... The error also affects public trust in the lottery institutions. Other sources have the actual numbers, not just a website. You guys are getting caught up on this nonsense and it's honestly infuriatingly stupid. He could have gone in and checked his numbers at any lotto seller and it would have denied he won, because he didn't have the right set of numbers, because the real set was something entirely different. His feelings on the matter are completely irrelevant. It absolutely sucks that he for a brief moment thought he won the lottery, but the facts remain that he simply did not. This isn't even a bank error in his favor, it's simply him reading a group of numbers online, despite the real numbers being published in a newspaper, likely displayed at every gas station or grocery store in the area and wherever else they likely list this. Hell, they can even pinpoint what gas station sold what numbers, and even that wouldn't signify him winning, because he did not win. It sucks for him, but I truly doubt this gets anywhere in court. --- lolAmerica ... Copied to Clipboard! |
