I’m sure a 16-year-old could get an abortion in California....they just can’t buy a lottery ticket?

Thomas says his son bought five Scratchers tickets at a Mobil station on Bellflower Boulevard in Long Beach on Oct. 16 by exchanging other winning tickets. One of the five was a winning ticket with a $5 million prize, the suit states. Thomas validated the ticket at a 7-Eleven store in Long Beach that same day and then validated it again the next day at the lottery office in Santa Ana, the suit states.
If the ticket is a bearer instrument, he could say Elvis, Jim Morrison and Amelia Earhart chipped in and bought it together. As long as he is in possession of it and signs his name to it, the prize is his.
There is a missing piece to this story, methinks.

The lesson to be learned here is to never ever EVER trust the government. They lie, cheat and steal more than anybody.
So what if his son decided to give him the ticket. He should still be entitled to the winnings.

If Jesus Christ sent the money by Western Union to Daffy Duck for the ticket, and Daffy rode on Santas Sleigh which was pulled by Mighty Mouse to the lotto store, it’s still me holding a valid ticket.
Pay up or be sued into oblivion.

He will lose. The law is explicit about who can buy the tickets and the State of California will do anything to keep from paying this out.

If the California Lottery operations do not legally mandate that lottery ticket retailers ask for a valid Id for proof of age to the buyer, then I’d think the family with the winning $5 million ticket has a chance of succeeding in their suit - with the state negligent in making any effort, through their lottery ticket sellers, to require age-of-buyer rules be enforced.
The California Lottery commission should (a) get the bad P.R. off their back and pay the $5 million, and (b) establish rules making it the retailers problem for selling lottery tickets to under-age customers, and requiring them to ask for an ID from anyone they suspect is under age.

How do they know who bought the ticket?
Did the 16 year old try to COLLECT?
If that’s so, then that’s really stupid on the part of the 16 year old.
