Florida’s 1st District Court of Appeal Wednesday ruled that a woman is not entitled to collect a $500,000 prize because the scratch-off lottery ticket purchased by her husband included a misprint.
How long before this logic is applied to those holding US Currency?

It’s always the easy way out - “Oh, you’ve won? Oops, misprint on our part. Sorry”

Tough break but makes sense. The three was clearly meant to be there but the printer dropped it off.

Why anyone plays these stupid games is beyond me.
“Tax on stupid people” is right.
The house always wins. Who can’t understand that?

Sorry. Not buying it.
Blatant homophobia: every homosexual I know refers to a singular occurrence as oneth.

I believe there was a case just a couple of years ago -- a woman was playing slots in a casino: coin goes in, arm goes down, wheels spin around -- BOOM! Lights start flashing! Siren start wailing! Big excitement! Her machine is going WILD! Yes! It's the big MILLION DOLLAR WINNER!
Casino guy walked over and said, "Looks like that machine is busted. Sorry. You didn't win nuthin'.
The House doesn't like to lose. And Sometimes "the house" is the government.

Do they ever examine losing tickets to see if by misprint someone actually was supposed to win?

The lottery has even worse odd that it appears, once you recognize that the few who do get lucky may be splitting the win with someone who is gaming the system.

“First, she won $5.4 million, then a decade later, she won $2million, then two years later $3million and in the summer of 2010, she hit a $10million jackpot.
“The odds of this has been calculated at one in eighteen septillion and luck like this could only come once every quadrillion years.
“Harper’s reporter Nathanial Rich recently wrote an article about Ms Ginther, which calls the the validity of her ‘luck’ into question.
“First, he points out, Ms Ginther is a former math professor with a PhD from Stanford University specialising in statistics.
