Isn't this the same topic wherein the company is trying to pay less than what the winnings are? If there is an attempt to pay the winner with less the amount that they should have, it means that the lottery company somehow recognizes the win but cannot pay the prize in full. There already is the gesture but they just can't shoulder the $160,000 win. Probably just them trying to cheat the winner by settling with a lower amount.
Hopefully the winner never gets tired of pursuing this case because he obviously has a lot of reasons to get this case in his favor.
Topic: A lottery's defense to not paying a huge winning. - page 7. (Read 915 times)
Sorry, but the gambling company didn't mention any proofs of irregularities to justify their decision of not paying the winner. They simply claim the winner is a cheater and that they won't accept being blackmailed or bullied in order to pay the money.
In my opinion that is a very disgusting approach by the casino which only reinforces the winner gambler's side.

It is the winners fate to undergo such kind of situation. The win is clear, if not he couldn't be contacted by the authority with some bargain. Finally the authorities will try to bribe the judiciary and win the case against the lottery winner. Whether it is huge winning or low, it is a must to settle the winner so to keep its reputation. It looks like the platform is with plans of running away closing its service at the earliest.
A company refusing to pay the full winning amount and then later on offering smaller amount when the claimant decided to go to court is really something suspicious. That means that they want to pay him and just making excuses that their system developed faults etc.
About the question, a win is a win, having system error is not an excuse to not to pay, like its not the user's fault if the system made an error its them the company and they need to fix it and aware the amount to the winning user.
Court will always asked enough evidence from defendant regarding the claims of the people who complaint, if the defendant cannot make enough evidence, witness, then the complainant wins.

The question is ?
What do you really think of the lottery company and is there any chance for them to winning the case and not paying the winner?
Let's just think that the lottery company is honest, first, they'll have to look at every angle of that win if it's a clear shot and the winner really deserves it.What do you really think of the lottery company and is there any chance for them to winning the case and not paying the winner?
If they do conduct an investigation just to prove the clear winning numbers and bet of that winner, they'll give it eventually once they're done with that investigation and background.
As long as there's no glitch or error has happened, they'll give it. But the problem is, these companies that don't want to give the winnings, they can reason about such if they don't want to give it.

I don't know if the stories of lottery or gambling platforms making excuses not to pay out huge winnings to people is becoming more or that they have always been happening and it is me who have not been up to date with them, because I've been reading a lot of stories recently about similar situations. This can be really bad for the image of the lottery company and the image of lottery companies in general if this sort of issues are ruled in favour of the online lottery platforms.
Everything is obvious with the story and it’s not the first time these companies do it even they know that eventually one will win the lottery, they should pay the winner without any issue and create a good reputation also just as an investment for their side. Playing dirty games against the winner will only harm their name and will lose any participation anymore. It’s hard to understand how these kind of people moderating lottery
so they claim that the winner was cheating, If they can prove that he was cheating I think they'll win the case but if not then I think the complainant will win the case. but I am a little suspicious of the lottery company because in another article you shared, they claim that the machine was faulty and offered the complainant money as some type of compensation (I think) on three seperate occasions.

Its true that recently there are indeed topics or issues in relation with lottery winners which hadn't been paid which do really sucks on the ones who had experienced in.
They shouldn't have run a lottery if they cant really pay off those winners or give on what they do own or won.Legal aspect? If possible then you
could eventually sue them out and force them for you to pay and lets see on how they would be making those countermeasure or reasoning they would be making.

I think attacking the winner and accusing him of irregular activities is just their way of saving face. The lottery company tried to compromise and asked to pay the winner with a lesser amount. That alone should tell us that they know they did something wrong or that their system was messed up. Let's leave the result of the case to the court. 
If there are really irregularities in the bet then they have the right not to pay the player, if the player believes he played in good faith and has not resorted to cheating then he has all the right to claim the money, based on the article its already in court so it's better that they wait for the decision.
For a company to be in charge in court on denying payment is not good for its reputation and the name will be further damaged if they are found guilty of denying payment, the government should step in to check if this company is holding its lottery in a fair manner.

I came across a story on this thread about a lottery company refusing to make payments to a player who legally played a game with about $690 and won over $160,000 but was denied payment on the grounds that his winning data has been wiped out of their system.

And that around 2019 he won a huge sum of money from them and now another winner from same outlet which was suspicious to them.
