Long Beach man wins $5 million scratch off but is denied because his 16 yr old son bought the ticket

[Alpha Male]

I guess he can't reap the benefits because the ticket was purchased illegally...


... so does a guy still arrested for drunk driving if his 16 year old son bought him the beer?

Saw this on the news.

I want the man to win, but I've seen casinos and lotteries get away with not paying too many times to have faith in his chances.

I would have to shoot some shyt up

@lotteryplaya is there a legal basis to win his case. even if his son brought the scratcher why does it matter it was still a winning ticket and he has ownership (the father) of it, it's not like a casino where kids can't claim the prize if they win a scratchoff is supposed to be whoever has it and signed it wins.

A good lawyer would eat this shyt up by saying if the age requirement was that serious to the point it could disqualify you from winning then proof of age should be required at purchase but yet it's not.

It is a requirement in most places that you be it age as it is gambling. You wouldn't win that argument in court.

This makes no sense. I thought whoever claimed the ticket won? So if I find a winning lottery ticket I can't claim the prize if I didn't buy it? If I can then why the fukk does it matter who bought it

 

[SheWantTheD]

LMAOOOO that sux big time

In Mass lotto retailers require you to show proof of age to purchase lottery. I bet it's because of cases like this. I'm sure the store is going to be on the hook for the payout now.
