I noticed on the news that a man won a lottery and when he arrived to claim his prize, he was requested to state or provide information about where he purchased the lottery ticket, which he couldn't do because he didn't know where he obtained it. It drew my interest, and I wondered if forum users could still tell where they purchased all of their lottery tickets in the previous six months (For those who still engage if physical tickets).

I spent a lot of money on winning the lottery thinking that it could change my luck but the results never came in my favor. So far I have not won even the smallest prize from all the lotteries I have been playing so now I have completely stopped playing the lottery. There is no guarantee that another part of the lottery I bought will even make it to the raffle draw. Bought with lottery money and sitting on straight luck it only shows that I'm losing money periodically. In order not to lose money periodically, I choose something that I can rely on my skills in gambling. If I apply my skills and get defeated then I will have no regrets

My opinion on that story - that man should not get his prize, because his intentions on gambling wasnt serious. He has got that ticket without any hope to win a price, that is why I think, if he gets his prize in the end, he wont use it wise. Probably waste it in few days on bs. How much was that prize? A bit more than 1k? Add it to a next jackpot, give that man several lottery tickets and close that case.

I can't believe I'm reading this. Are you serious? I guess, we are lucky you don't run a lottery, mate!

It doesn't matter whether someone is going to use his prize wisely or not, if he won it he must receive it. Besides, this guy from this particular story received his prize in the end with just a little delay. That's how it should be. Kudos to Ontario Lottery for that.

But if he has bought this ticket like it was nothing? And later showed little care about it, why should he get his prize for? When you buy a lottery ticket, you expect to win, right? What that guy did? Bought ticket and did not care about it. And it was this mans friend who was seeking for justice. Suppose you have placed a bet and walked away, return in 2 months and ask if you have won? And you would put effort to collecting prize, only if you would win. Do you think this is a serious approach? The guy was reckless about gambling, reckless about receiving prize. You think he would use money wise ? Cheesy

On the moment that you would really be buying up tickets for long time then you would really be coming into this kind of point that you are buying as if just like nothing since you do
know that it would really be still have that loses. Sounds absurd but it do really happen and i can attest to that on which there would really be that moment that you wouldnt really be caring
about on the result of such draw of numbers specially if you've been long time betting on lottery and it would really be just that a normal reaction that you would really be having on the moment that
be caring about on where those tickets been bought specially that we have won something big then it would really be just that a normal reaction to have. The only impossible to believe
that if you cant be able to remember on where you have bought those tickets on on which you would really be able to think up of it specially if you've been that buying tickets
on the same place or whatsoever.

regarding the title of the thread, after quickly reading through the article, while he had issues claiming his winnings, in the end, he was able to claim them because a news media took interest in his story and reported it on TV. but sadly if the news media didn't run his story I have a feeling he would still have trouble claiming his winnings to this day.

yeah, currently I only buy lottery tickets at two lottery booths, because they are in an area I always go to, coincidentally this makes it easier to remember where I bought my lottery tickets. also, me only buying lottery tickets from two lottery booths is not some kind of superstition, they are just a convenient area.

Well, of course I personally know where I bought my tickets maybe that guys was just overwhelmed because of the winnings he had but is it really a requirement to tell anyone where we bought our tickets just to prove we own it? Serial numbers on the ticket I think has all the details where it was originally purchased I don't think it needs to be that complicated as it will just violate the persons privacy and safety if he has to say it.

That's unusual all lottery outlets are interconnected by one database they can tell right away the location of the winner even the time when he purchased the ticket that's how our lottery system works here, so even if you buy tickets in 10 locations and you turned out to be the winner they can trace your location and time, but they cannot expose your identity.
I didn't know that one requirement to collect your prize is to state where you purchased in other countries, they should take down that requirement, the ticket is your only requirement to collect the prize.

Always play your tickets online is the lesson to learn from this, I hear way too often people losing tickets. Its bound to happen because most tickets do not result in a win so are worthless paper and at the same time this ticket could be the most expensive piece of paper you ever had.

I cant trust myself not to lose a ticket so I will always opt to play via their system. If they then come up with a reason why online is somehow not a location they can verify as valid then we going to have words because its entering scam territory at that point.

I have nevered play any physical or gambling, I just don't fancy it and this a more turn off for me.

There are so many risks with the physical lottery or gambling with the ticket, I just remember a thread that was about a man who after about a decade was paid If ican remember correctly, because his grand daughter went to iron the ticket after accidently wetting it where by somethings was cleared from the ticket which the reward worth thousands or million of dollar and It seems this was the reason the organisation didn't want to pay even after he sued them till about a decade where they had no choice since no other persons has come to claim it.

That's not possible!!! What sort of extension games would take 6 months to be settled? It's either you just made up the duration or the storyline isn't just correct.

According to the article “ Zhou purchased a Lotto 6/49 ticket in April of 2023 ::/:: In October he submitted a claim to the Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation (OLG) to collect his winnings of $1,186” - if you do the maths that’s approximately 6 months, the article didn’t state when the game was drawn (we don’t even know what type of lottery it is, if it’s one that’s drawn weekly or not) so I’m not sure what date the winning ticket was announce thus the reason I used 6 months in my post. The whole issue dragged up till a year, before being settled after the media got involved.

Then it is possible for the man to forget where he got his lottery ticket from because maybe he was in somewhere at that time and decided to buy a lottery ticket. The time period is damn long for anyone to make the same mistake, as long as you are used to buying lottery tickets in random places.

The one I have heard of is about someone that lost his ticket and he won a huge amount of money. He was denied his win and that was the gambler's fault. This is why I don't like a bet that take long time before the result will be out.

I'm happy to know that in my country there is an electronic lottery system in which when people buy a lottery ticket the system detects all that person's data, things like their ID number, the person's home address and more, so really If the person lost the ticket, the lottery company would contact the winner, because they have the telephone number, they have the winner's home address, so the winner will have their prize. Now something I can't understand is how it is possible that in countries with more technology than my country, they are not well organized when it comes to the lottery, it seems that the lottery companies in these other countries are rooting for the winners to lose their money. tickets and don't claim the prize

The man isn't supposed to be denied his winnings as long as he produced a ticket for accountability in the same casino house as he wagered. Unless they have a different rule in land-based casinos in their region, the casino is supposed to be sued for the delay..
Secondly, an accounts is linked to atleast 4 cashiers in a casino house. If you wagered with any of those cashiers, your winning will be paid directly to the admin account SO, YOU CAN'T BE PAID ANYWHERE ELSE!!

To me I can classify the man as a lazy man or an unserious person unless the man is too old then that is allowed because they brain is no longer functioning as a young person so the person can easily forget things we really find a lot of older age in gambling especially so if this is happen to an old man it's normal, some older people usually forget things up and down so they stress themselves I am just saying if this is happening just for old person.

Complete garbage. Why would that even matter in terms of validating a winning ticket. What if you are drunk and bought a lottery ticket and forget. Who cares. Just another way to collect tons of money with all these loopholes of why they don't need to pay. So scammy.

They could also consider it a security measure instead of directly calling it a means to deny the person access to the payment, but at the end of the story, their scam scheme didn't succeed as the man didn't give up. How he did it was not mentioned in the article, but it was later said he was later handed over a desire reward after several months of battle.

I don't quite understand how that can be a security measure. In the end the ruling commission gives authority for these places to sell lottery tickets. It shoudlnt be up to the winner to prove where they bought it, if it can be determined to be a legitimate ticket. At least in the US where it's heavily regulated. Believe it or not a lot of lottery winning tickets go unsold. They try to make it difficult so they can keep 100%

Well I don't do lottery tickets that much but I do understand the fact that keeping to vital information is key especially when they find a place to trap you. For some reason I won't blame the fellow because he might have actually had some feelings of nonchalance because of maybe due to the fact that the many they have bought have all been asked. Even in your betting accounts one can still make Mistakes, @when you fail to have the right credentials for the Watters.

From my little understand I think the owner of the tickets haven't won before and this is the first time he has won from lottery tickets. I know the feelings that when a gambler have gamble for half a year and he haven't won anything he won't even put much interest when he's betting because he might be thinking that since he haven't won any of the tickets games before both the new one he is about to purchase will still loss, so in this case he won't put much interest on the ticket. However another reason might be that he has been buying a lottery ticket from different stores that's why he couldn't remember the actual shop that he bought the lucky lottery ticket.

Since we are talking about 6 months past time then it would really be likely that even that ticket had completely forgotten or simply being put up on the trash. For me then it would really be that unlikely that you wont really be that tending to check out those number combinations at the moment that you would really be that betting on lotteries on which you would really be tending to check out on whats the draw results even if its means on day to day basis but i cant blame them out on which on the moment that you are tired on checking out those combinations on day to day specially if you've been that long time buying those tickets and ended up on losing then
there's really indeed a time that you wont really be caring about on the results that you do have with those purchased tickets and one day you have that seen that you've won but the questions is,
are those tickets still being kept or have already that been thrown into the trash can? We do know that 6 months time isnt something that you would really be that a fan on trying to look
back and check it out.

I don't know how It works this lottery but if this information Is crucial to redeem the prize, It should be know by the player (and maybe highlighted by sellers).
If this Is just a solution to not pay the winning It would be very bad...
At least in my country, many of these litigations have been take in court (of course It depends the amount involved...)

From the article, it states that players coming to claim prizes that are $1,000 and above should be able to answer a few questions correctly which includes him telling them the exact store he got the tickets - and failure to that that might result in delayed payment and further investigation until it has been proven that he his the owner of the ticket and it wasn’t obtained through devious means.

Although, he has been able to get his reward from the company - probably due to the pressure of media, since they wouldn’t want to be painted has a company that failed to fulfill their duty to their customers.

I don't know how such company organize their lottery but they ought to specify the process of redeeming the price. If they did and they man forgot, then it is entirely his fault if he couldn't collect his money. In my country we have a company called ROS Lotto that have outlets all over the city and down to the villages. Irrespective of where the game was placed, every winning is usually referred to any of their main offices that is located in all major cities of my country. As soon as the ticket is confirmed to be a winning ticket, the owner can be paid from any main office.

Impossible that he forgot it. It might be either it's not his ticket or somebody bet it for him but if that's the case he should at least have any leads to where it came from. You won't be in that many lottery branches not unless you are moving places from time to time. I just wonder, won't it be checked on the branches he tend to visit? Well, it would require effort but that's nothing if he would be able to get his lottery reward. Such thing won't happen on aa regular basis and that should be enough to tell him that he should be putting time into it.

Quote from: GideonGono on June 14, 2024, 05:15:20 PM

I think it is possible to say or draw out where he purchase the ticket even if it was from 6 months, cause for sure he would know where he would always purchase ticket if he has been doing it for a long time, and if it is just out of nowhere then he could still have some place in his mind if he is the real owner of that ticket.
But for me if he have the winning ticket then why wouldn't they release it, or give him the amount that the ticket won?

The lottery might have its rules regarding this which is why they are asking him to comply with what's being asked. Imagine him not getting the prize; it would really feel him bad of what he has done. Will be a huge lesson as well but I hope he'd get it eventually.
