What, if anything, would you do if this happened to you? I've never read the fine-print, but I'm assuming there must be some disclaimer written about incorrect info, etc.

get a good lawyer. chances are good you'll get something if not the full amount. those crackin lawyers love to make deals to get rid of you

It reminds me of the line from Ocean's 12 when Don Cheadle tells Al Pacino what Chuck Berry used to say before every show: "Pay me my money!"

Yes we do!

Either pay up the man or destroy and refund ALL the tickets in circulation. If a non-winning ticket looks like a winner, then what's to stop the opposite from happening?

Lawyer, court, not Ur problem they screwed up.

Yeah - I'd wanna get paid!

I would sue. If you could get a lawyer to take the case based on what you may win, than good.

I have a better story that.... I heard on NJ 101.5 a while back that a woman won like $50,000 on a scratch off ticket and when she claimed the prize they told he that the budgeted monies for that particular ticket were at zero and she would not a get a penny. Like the original posted mentioned, it was in the fine print and the lottery commission was able to deny her her prize. I feel bad for that guy and I hope he gets something.

lawyer up.

At a minimum, I could see the person claiming medical anguish and anxiety. That's certainly going to be worth some amount of $$$ if he took it to court.
