The money he paid for the ticket should be refunded to the man he should be given another ticket.

is the fact that this happened in Roswell significant?

[Doctor 2Brains]

I see a lot of old folks scratching tickets in the 7-11 peaking lot. Something about it makes me... Uneasy? Disappointed?

Smells like a scam to not have to pay out for otherwise winning tickets.

Clearly a misprint.

Too bad Mr. Gambler, you’re out 20 bucks. Care to try again?

Watch the shells very carefully...

[LouAvul]

One ticket is $20? What happened to $1/ticket?

[SJSAMPLE]

It was already worthless. The misprint only made it appear valuable.

[SkyDancer]

Great way for the state to cop-out of paying.

I’ll go against the crowd. Pay the winning out. Besides, the lottery official said their excuse was that this was a ‘malfunction’, which is not listed reason to pay out.

Signs of a person bad at math:

1. Lottery player.
2. Slot machine player.
3. Check cashing store customer.
4. Toyota Prius owner.

Yeah, it’s obvious it is a misprint. Sorry dude.

Gambling sucks. It is designed to enrich the agent of the game at the expense of the players. I don’t tell others what to do but I definitely don’t gamble.

Sounds like New Mexico is having budget problems...

[fuzzylogic]

It should be no different than misprinted pricing. Tough s*it, you’re obligated to accept the price listed.

Don’t get the printing wrong. Plus, too easy to not pay out...not a good enough excuse imo.

The odds of him getting a misprinted ticket are probably about as great as hitting the lottery. I say they should pay him.
