Lousing up The Lottery

The plaintiff purchased lottery tickets from the defendant’s store, and she won big. However, the plaintiff claims the defendant’s son wanted a big tip, and when she refused, the defendant held some of the plaintiff’s winnings, so she’s suing. The defendant insists the plaintiff never paid for the winning tickets.

A Walmart Murphy's gas station cashier in GA, refused to give me my $50 winnings on a scratch off ticket, not a lot of money, but it would still have helped me out that day. She told me something about the machine not being able to scan the ticket and that caused the ticket to be void. I asked her to give me my ticket back to me; she refused to give it back. I called another Murphy's gas station and talk to an employee that said that couldn't happen with a lottery ticket. I went back to her store, trying to get my ticket back, she still refused. She held it up in front of me saying it was void or something along those lines. I wanted to snatch it from her but she held it close to her body so that I couldn't grab it. The next day I called and talked to her supervisor and the supervisor talked to the store manager. Too make my long story shorter(😂), I received my $50 winnings without any questions or problems from the supervisor. I was determined that the cashier was not going to keep my winnings, big or small! My next call would have been to the Lotto. I have read and heard of people being scammed out of their winning lottery tickets, by store owners and employees, especially the older or elderly customers.

[@MusicTennis]

It's an interesting 2 part verbal contract case. At the 4:00 minute mark she had $3000 worth of winnings in her hand so obviously she wins that but in my opinion she also won the $12k. She buys tix from their store everyday because she's an addict and the father admitted they have held tix for her before so by his own testimony the tix are hers. If she was a complete stranger to them I'd agree with you. She left for the ATM at 7pm and came back at 8:15 pm (after the 8pm draw) but that's irrelevant as the tix were hers.

[@joeybiden7755]

@@MusicTennis in the past she has always come back to pay for the tickets before the drawing. Legally, if the tickets are not paid for before the drawing, they are not hers. I agree that was definitely a verbal contract, but I would argue that the contractors avoid if she doesn’t come back to pay before the drawing. I say she loses the right to come back and claim the tickets if she waits until after the drawing is done. I feel like she blew it, but I also feel like he’s a liar. But he is responsible for the tickets that are printed out before the drawing if they are not paid for. Per lottery regulations. If those tickets are not sold to someone else, those tickets are to be voided out. The mistake the defendant made was lying about it, but the bigger mistake he made was allowing people to order tickets and not make them pay for them immediately. now that the store has lost their ability to sell lottery tickets, I’m sure she has to go much further now to another location to lose her money 😂

Whew, what a piece of work!

[@JR-cj3jm]

What a fool the defendant!!!!!

[@Ryan-pm4fk]

Defendant was a wily character, his entire store should be shut down.

[@richardhernandez4490]

15:31: Damn Judge Milian! Said it with such venom! And to add some insult to injury...a tip which is the true knife twist!

[@johnsradios484]

The lady got a gambling problem and the owner is robbing her to boot.

[@BeccasaurousRex270]

At $50 a day she’s spending $18,250 a year just on tickets.

[@Panhandlers007]

Who gives a damn! Her gambling problem isn’t the issue, him robbing her of her money is.

[@AmysExquisiteGifts]

@@Panhandlers007 exactly...how are we going to say she has a problem because of how much she spends on tickets...that maybe her only leisure for her hard earned money...the point is he stole her money

[@vivaglam718]

The sad part is that the people in this community will still shop at his store. Loterry or not.

[@spunkyspinelli]

If that ticket didn’t win she would’ve made him eat that 9 dollar cost , those lottery people can be ruthless…they are addicts …why was the money never taken from the ATM lol did I miss that part lol shorty was on her way home and was like ope they won lemme head back 🤣🤣

[@user-qz4cn5nz6o]

Could she not have acted more responsibly in making sure that she would have all the money on her? Of course the judge goes by the contact and that is why she gave it to him. But for someone who has this daily habit of buying tickets, should she not have all of it on hand , pay for all of it and get out?? It makes no sense to ask someone to hold your anything for you, so you could make a quick run to the bank. some people live as if their whole life is on installment and on a "i will be right back" basis.

[@jorge5275]

Take it easy 😂

[@nekishacosey778]

My guy said you caught it from the judge. Im screaming lol

[@kimr2025]

I was somewhat surprised the plaintiff won, as she didn't pay for the tickets with her own cash. It doesn't make sense that you pay for a ticket with the winnings. However, what saved her was that she has been able to do this "I'll pay later " in the past. To the judge, it doesn't matter if it's before or after the draw, the pattern of "paying later" was established. That and the fact the defendant is a greedy fool is why she won. The story in the police report could not be fabricated...its way too specific.

[@michelehemlokhexwhite4310]

She went back to cash the winning tickets in her possession so she could pay for the $9 worth of tickets the store had retained.

[@joeybiden7755]

@@michelehemlokhexwhite4310 that was the point when he should’ve said no you didn’t pay for these tickets before the drawing so the tickets are not yours. I think the tickets are his legally. The fact that he allowed her to pay for those tickets, and then essentially seized some other winning tickets the next night made him a thief. Tickets that are not paid for before the drawing are not hers.

[@thereichscollector]

How about get lottery tickets that you can actually pay for at that moment. Also, dumb on the store owner for allowing people to come back and buy tickets later.

[@willowwillow1748]

This lady knows exactly what she is talking about. He wanted to keep her winning tickets. PERIOD.

[@back-corner-turnings]

Never mind the people’s court, I’m thinking the state lottery commission would be very interested in this case for a multitude of reasons.

[@coachcleats13]

He got grilled like a marshmallow

[@anniegantt5220]

When you win money at a store. They always want apart of the win. The store get a percentage of the win from the lottery office.

[@allye8872]

I’ll never understand the draw of playing the lottery.
