The first thing they tell you is sign the ticket. Anyone winning should go straight to the lottery office. But people like to brag and run their mouths off and tell the world they won all this money, thats how they become targets. Remember Abraham Shakespeare, the dimwit who won millions in the lottery and ended up in concrete in a new driveway? I doubt this claimant has a leg to stand on. "Reggie" really? Hahaha! The phantom Reggie stole his ticket, sure. Good luck with that lawsuit.

That is not correct. God gave mankind freewill, the freedom to choose life and good, death and evil. Deuteronomy 30:15-19 “See, I have set before you today life and good, death and evil….” God allows man to become enraptured with false religions for the same reason he permits a married man to become attracted to women other than his wife. Freewill is within your grasp. Virtue is only possible when sin is alluring. Therefore Christian, it’s not the money that is the root of all evil, but instead, it’s ones choices that is made that can be evil. Money can be used for good, including charity. This is up to the individual. In this case, greed and dishonesty is the culprit here. Not the money. They could just the same be fighting over a bag of candy or a woman and not money and there would be the same outcome.

Paul of Tarsus, hated by even Jesus’ own cronies, and eventually executed because of his filthy unspeakable crimes. You have ignorantly chosen to listen not to God, but instead, a known heretic liar who deliberately mistranslated Torah in his own writings, all of which were warning the church’s that he may have had it all wrong to begin with.

@@Reelunique None of what you said is valid. The lottery was delayed because of a glitch with the Minnesota Lottery’s verification system. This was announced on the day of the drawing. The California Lottery did not have a glitch. All participating state Lotteries had to wait until the Minnesota issue was resolved. It was not delayed “for more than 24 hours” as you incorrectly stated. California does not tax lottery winnings, so your statement on taxes seems irrelevant and misguided. The neighborhood that the winning ticket was sold at is not a wealthy area, and especially not “one of the wealthiest regions in the entire country.” You’re equating that area with the high income portions of Altadena and Pasadena, which is misleading and not representative of the demographics they serve.

A lottery ticket is a bearer bond; the bearer (holder) of the ticket is the only person who is legally entitled to the winnings. Technically, the pre-drawing ticket has a "face value" only $2, $4, $6, etc. depending on how many draws are on the ticket (a maximum of 10 draws or $20). Therefore, the "crime" of theft would not be for $2.04B, it would be for the price paid for the ticket. And any robbery or theft under $600 in Ca is a misdemeanor. The thief would be (at most) issued a fine. This case won't see the light of day.

After each purchase, sign the back of ticket. Make sure your signature is readable. Photograph or make color copy of the front of the ticket and copy back of the ticket showing your signature. Make 2 colored copy, double sided. Keep one locked up somewhere and one in your room. If person steals your ticket and cash it, you can present your colored copy as proof to: Lotto commission, police, and lawyer. If you lost your ticket, you can present as proof you purchased the ticket. I make colored copies of my ticket after I get home whether it is a winner or not, complete with my signature on the back. Make a habit of it, it might become useful in the future if you should win the lotto, just incase of a dispute. Also, the lotto commission should be able to go back on the gas station camera to see who purchased the ticket, how many ticket, what time, and day and which gas station. You can take the pair of clothes you wearing to show as backup proof. It also doesn't hurt to take picture of front and back of your ticket with your signature. All you have to do is show the picture on your phone if someone decides to be crooked and shred the papers or throw it away without your permission. Color copies and take picture with your phone.

You have a good point. This Reggie guy was trying to get someone to claim it. Jose Rivera was contacting the authorities before Edwin Castro claimed this so called ticket that is his.

@@juanayala2640 I think so too. I hope José gets his money. Edwin didnt want to show his face and probably didnt want his name released but he had no choice. They been trying to figure out a plan the last few months.

Is this the same winnings that the lottery supposedly messed up on and was at this business before they opened to announce they sold the winning ticket
@khandibaugh23 Жыл бұрын
So on November 7th 2022 "Reggie" stole a $2 slip of paper. The winning #'s werent announced until the night of November 8th? Did he foresee the future? Or did Jose purchase tickets for himself and Reggie, realized Reggie won and felt he deserved half?... Or is this a money grab from a complete stranger or associate?🤔

No need to socialize with anyone after that much cash. I'd build a castle with giant walls and an electrified fence around the giant walls.

@Bill Coyne You must have issues being by yourself? Who cares about being around people especially if you won that much money! People can travel and still be sociable from a distance. I’m a introvert so it would not bother me one bit if I seen another person or not!

Jose asked Reggie to go and purchase him some tickets… Reggie said ok no problem… Reggie came back home gave Jose his tickets and well wishes to each other knowing their odds that both are kill by lightning is better than hitting the jackpot… next day Jose found out Reggie hit the jackpot with his tickets and asked are you going to share… Reggie said talk to my lawyer so Jose talked to his and resulted in Jose claiming his tickets were stolen by Reggie/Edwin Castro! Would make a perfect Modelo commercial, “to those with a fighting spirit”! 😂
