This guy needs to get into the spirit of the motto, "Fake But True."

I win $1 every time I do not play the lotto...

Dewey shoulda sued!

[moonman]

poor guy

This gut feeling is probably akin to finding out the kid you raised for 21 years wasn't yours. LOL

[DB]

That would suck tremendously.

But I wouldn't sue the paper.

If he wins big bucks, the papers will simply stop publishing the numbers. It isn't worth it.

"I felt sick," he told Global Television. "I never said a word. I was weak, I was sweaty, I was so upset." He told Global that he has a heart condition, and has not been able to work or sleep since discovering the error.

Sucker ....

If I was the judge and jury, this man would win this case. I would award the man just what he deserves, a refund for whatever he paid for the paper.

"I felt sick," he told Global Television. "I never said a word. I was weak, I was sweaty, I was so upset."

His national health-care will fix him right up, and they wont even charge him another $2.

Printing the wrong numbers is complete garbage and they should be liable for publishing a falsehood like that - but the guy's crybaby act is a bit much.

[AZRepublican]

Maybe he will contact the ACLU so they can claim his civil rights were violated...oh wait this is canada right?

I got a good story along these lines. Years ago, I applied for a big promotion at work. I was told Friday afternoon that I got the job and my manager called to congratulate me. I went out that night and celebrated with my wife. I come in Monday expecting to get all the details on my new promotion and raise and whatnot.

Instead, I was greeted by my ashen-faced manager who told me that a terrible mistake was made. The promotion had actually gone to another person and the HR department screwed up and gave him the wrong name. At least that was the story and everybody stuck to it.

So I know how this guy feels. But sometimes you just have to suck it up and get on with it. (I did eventually get that job a year or two later).

[Bullish]

Newspapers print outright lies all the time. This was just a mistake.

He's just gonna' have to get over it.

[elli1]

I'd have some sympathy for the guy IF he wasn't planning to sue. Considering that he's revealed himself to be a butthole, I'm almost happy that he didn't win.

[BaBaStooey]

I don't know what sucks worse. Not winning the lottery when you thought you did because the paper printed the wrong numbers, or having a last name which pretty much means "shirt."

[Tolkien]

He expected a newspaper to get something right? What is he... a liberal?

[vetvetdoug]

I thought I had won the lottery only to find out the numbers matched the one two weeks ago and my ticket was a month old. I had the dates mixed up.

[doug from upland]

Okay, he wants a consolation prize. How about a free lifetime subscription to the newspaper? And, half off on a pizza.

[Dog Gone]

If I could successfully sue for typos made at this forum...

[Beckwith]

He'll lose.

Everyone knows you can't believe what you read in the newspapers.
