Oyango? Is he related to BHO? Isn’t that the name of Obama’s drunk driving uncle who lives in Framingham, Massghanistan?

If they have tickets that show they bought the ticket before AND the ticket after the winner, and the store’s machine shows that all 3 were purchased at the same time, then I say that is pretty good evidence.

There’s been at least one case of a prize being awarded without the ticket. Most lotteries have an investigative team to settle such issues, but it probably varies from state to state. Security video, clerk recognition, etc.

I know that a shady lawyer popped up with a winning ticket but couldn’t prove a ‘lawful chain of possession’ and lost the $12 million prize after an investigation.

I’d guess they think they have proof they had purchased the ticket that turned out to be a winner

Happens to me all the time.

Don’t know about New York, but the website I check the numbers on also displays the date of the drawing.

Never having purchased one of these things in my whole life perhaps there is something here I have not heard of. I have, however, heard of reports that “Oh, a winning ticket which has not yet been claimed had been bought from the drugstore at Smith and Jones streets in Anytown, so if you bought a ticket there you should look at it.” And so that the receipt might tie the purchase to the ticket’s number. Or it might not. Anyhow I sense sarcasm here so an explanation would be appreciated.
