Men Throw Out $1-Million Powerball Ticket And Sue New Jersey Lottery


MAHWAH, N.J. (AP) — Two New York men are suing the New Jersey Lottery after they threw out a Powerball ticket worth $1 million.
Salvatore Cambria and Erick Onyango, of Suffern, New York, argue in their federal lawsuit that the lottery didn't quickly update its website with the winning numbers from the March 23 drawing.

Cambria tells The Record (http://bit.ly/1lgeKlD ) newspaper he asked Onyango to check the website soon after the 11 p.m. drawing. Cambria tossed the ticket when the numbers didn't match. The men now think the site was showing the previous drawing's numbers.

They say they realized they had won the next day. But by then, their ticket was on its way to a landfill in Canada.

The men say they have two other tickets showing serial numbers that prove they had a winner.

Just read this today in the NY Post. Feel bad because the Site should have been updated.

They would have had a winning ticket if they did it like I do. I buy them, put them in a desk and find them months later, then check them.

even for a few days. crazy knowing you threw away a million bucks!

The sites usually state the date of the draw, so maybe they just can't read. And of course it's not updated immediately. A human must enter the numbers for the draw

Sounds like a great story to try and game the jackpot.

Guess they couldn't afford a plane ticket to Canada. because I would have met the Truck at the landfill !

I still don't know how they can prove that they had the ticket.

They could, if the lottery would honor, "proof" without the ticket, how? well, if they have the two tickets that they bought is one way, how? the tickets were bought at the same time and place, the lottery knows where and what time the ticket was bought, , if the place they bought it has surveillance cameras and a time stamp
