You can win on the site with 340 million dollars, loterij ontkent en spreekt van fout | Buitenland

It’s a real American thing: you think you’re going to win in a big way, but you won’t get a right start at the start. In this regard, the famous Powerball lottery is one of the most popular games in the United States. For as little as 2 dollars, Americans can do it all. They can have their own numbers in the neighborhood, and a computer can make the selection later. The amount you can win from the jackpot is small: 1 or 292.2 million. There is still a bigger one that can be seen in two different ways. Op dezelfde dag.

Maar he zijn wel degelijk geluksvogels natuurlijk. Well, a John Cheeks from Washington DC thought that he would select the group to listen to. Hij says that it was on January 6th last year and a lot is cooking with a unique series number. Tot zijn own verbazing zag hij wat later precies thezelfde numbers on the website van the loterij staan. The cijfers op zijn lotje were a combination of verjaardagen van familieleden with other cijfers which were raised for him an emotionele betekenis.

“I’ve got a beetje opgewonden, maar ik schreeuwde niet,” says Cheeks on ‘NBC Washington’ over the moment that he thought it had become a reality. “I have a friend in my name and I advise you in a photo. Toen ben ik gaan slapen.”

A few days later you will have to take the ‘miljonair’ to the cantoor and get your ticket in your office. Daarbij overhandigt hij ook de door hem file photo as evidence. The medewerker op het kantoor gaat intern in bespreking, en komt dan met de mededeling waardoor de Amerikaan in één klap van zijn roze wolk dondert: he is helaas sprake van een fout, de man heeft géén right op het prijzengeld. “This ticket is never good, it is good in the prullenbak. I don’t get any betaald. The state is in a good place,” the medical worker said. Cheeks are shown.

In a letter, in the hands of the Britse krant ‘The Guardian’, the organization of the lottery later on, the jackpot claim formula has been removed. “The prize claim of India is afgewezen omdat the ticket is not as winnaar wordt valideerd door the spelsysteem van de OLG, zoals iced door de OLG-regelgeving.” OLG staat voor Office of Lottery and Gamingthe responsibility is for the beleid and the responsibility for the lottery in casinos in the Americas.

Cheeks are dead and never gone away. Hij bewaart het in a kluis, omdat hej thinks no more steeds can te maken op het money. The man in the middle has an advocate in the arm genomen and sleeps various parties for the right, waaronder Powerball and spelaannemer Taoti Enterprises. The aim is to clarify the situation and the door before the trekking and test it was done on the website. The foute ‘winnende’ cijfers kwamen als gevolg daarvan even online te staan. The organization has a day later and the numbers are offline.

That’s okay, thanks to Cheeks. Richard Evans is an advocate who is responsible for the cause. “Ze zeggen that a fout is made. I have not seen it yet. En zelfs als dat zo is, rijst de vraag: wat doe je daaraan?” As a result of the advocacy, he is a precedent for this immediately. In other cases, the loterijwinnaars have prize money and the organization has been published on the website. “Zij betaalden het won bedrag later than not,” said Evans.

For now, John Cheeks can flow to his room forever. He is never duidelijk wheneer de Rechtszaak serves.
