Man wins $100,000, only to be awarded $20 because of a "misprint"

  • Couple relax in kitchen, celebrating their big win, in a depiction by models.
  • The lottery told me that my $100,000 win was actually a $20.00 misprint. They pulled the game hours later.
  • I blurred dude's face for privacy, but you can see the card here, and it's a winner!

  • Probably the best advice here

  • Hundreds of dollars that are owed to the prize winner.
  • It's interesting to claim it's a misprint when it isn't blurred or obscured in any way

    Less-Jellyfish5385 That seems illegal unless they gave out a crazy amount of 100,000 dollar prizes
  • Just to clear up the confusion, these people shared what was going on with the card

    kmarie307 I see the rocket and $100k under your symbols but not in the winning symbols. I don't get it can someone explain lol
  • Couple tries to figure out how to get the $100k they're owed after being denied, as models demonstrate.
  • Doubters were in the comments, but it does seem to be a winner

    rocketman19 Same, to me this does not look like a winning card The 100k is under the rocket ship which is under winning symbols. "your symbols" does not have a rocket ship, therefore it's not a win EDIT: it IS a winning card, $10 due to the French fries $5 each
  • Confirmed! It's a winner. An instant winner in fact.

    Cloobsy He's covering the rules with his hand but they say that if you find a rocket ship you win that prize instantly.

  • MIAdolphins96 Without looking at the rules, I assume that the rocket is one of those auto win symbols that you don't need to be in the "your symbols" section. That's why he has another rocket scratched off for $5 as well. That would total $100,015, which is clearly over the "win up to $100k". Something went wrong for sure. Edit to add: rules do confirm that rocket is an auto win. So ticket would show $100,015 in winnings. Top prize is $100k. Clearly an error. Lottery messed up.
  • Axolotl451 I am not a lawyer, this isn't legal advice. When you buy a lottery ticket both parties have entered a contract. Reach out to a lawyer, don't discard the evidence.
