NEW YORK, - The New York Lottery is using posters of a crudely drawn stick figure in an attempt to identify the person who purchased a $7 million winning ticket.
The lottery put up posters this week in Brooklyn with the hope of catching the attention of the person who bought the winning Cash4Life ticket July 24 of last year at the Milky Way Deli.
The winner has until Friday to claim the prize, officials said.
One of the posters features a drawing of a stick figure holding a crudely drawn lottery ticket with the caption, "Is this you?" The poster identifies the hat-wearing stick figure as "a male or female who is rich but doesn't know it yet."
Another poster features only the drawing of a lottery ticket and reads, "Have you seen me?"
"We are urging players to check and double-check their tickets one last time for the chance to claim this $7 million jackpot prize," said Gardner Gurney, acting director of the Division of the Lottery.
The winning ticket bears the numbers 05 - 20 - 35 - 43 - 48 and the Cash Ball number 03.
Me! Me! I’m Spartacus!
Signs are incorrect and won’t do squat..
They are in ENGLISH
If it is a Spanish Speaker, they may not be able to collect. I think you have to be a citizen. Now if I was an illegal alien, I’d go to a lawyer and figure out how to go about collecting. I mean we are talking 7 million dollars afterall. Heck I’d go back to Mexico with that kind of money.
that’s me!
the likeness is astounding. i do not have the physical ticket, but i am the winner.
you have my picture and everything... and when no one else comes forward, that will prove it was me.
gimme my monies.
thanks
As a Canadian, I can buy US lottery. I’d just pay tax on it if I won. If an illegal won, he should be able to collect his winnings and then be deported.
Anyone with a lick of sense and a cold morning-after appraisal of potential life changes, would do well NOT to collect the “jackpot” winnings. That much wealth suddenly doused upon an unprepared person is more dangerous, devastating, and damaging than the sudden burst of Hoover Dam.
It is not at all a rarity for the unfortunate who does win a lottery of such magnitude, within a very short time, to be reduced to a depth of destitution previously unimaginable.
Yea sure.I would take my chances on possible destitution
“and then be deported”
In a sane world
twelve bucks for a pack of Newports?
