Not really. It is like if a slot machine malfunctions at a casino. There are signs at casinos that say something on the lines of "jackpots subject to machine verification. Malfunctions voids all free plays/pays". Same thing applies with scratch offs. The amount shown doesnt mean anything. The barcode matters. Maybe there was a bad batch in manufactoring and more winning tickets came out
U can always check ur ticket. Her ticket had the bar code at the bottom for her actual ticket. (in this case towards the middle) The winning numbers that she saw was for the next ticket. U dont need the full ticket to see if u won.
Yes mate, right you are, this is exactly what i thought watching this. How much did they pocket in unclaimed prizes? They must explain this in the court room.
Rite on..I bought a $5 wild time last year and scratched it off rite in store and bam..100$ winner..give it back to dude to cash in ..he scans it and tells me the ticket is expired..he can only refund my $5..I said bullshit..nothing I could really do but what I bitched about is if i lost on the ticket and noticed it was expired on back would you still have gave my $5 back?? Of course he said yes..I called bullshit and said "why u selling these anyway, u just ripping ppl off..dude said he wouldn't sell anymore. .I went back next day and they're still for sale and I asked for one and women was grabbin it..i said no nevermind and called bullshit again .then got kicked out.
@@doublebread2218 Wow.. In that case man I would of called lottery commissions or the police. Because they did scam u. I work with lottery and lottery tickets aren't expired if u just been sold one. If a ticket goes out of commission the lottery will come and take that ticket out. Once a lottery goes out of commission u still have 180 days to claim before it expires.
@@clownwrld7 I was pretty pissed dude..like I said I checked em the next day..got threatened with violence and police call...the store was rite by my old house..I just always went to the nice gas station across street. .but yea thanx for input.
THIS EXACT SAME THING HAPPENED TO ME HERE IN OHIO, ALTHOUGH NOT THIS LARGE OF AN AMOUNT. I CALLED THE OHIO LOTTERY COMISSION AND THEY INSTRUCTED ME TO WRITE A LETTER AND SEND IT WITH THE TICKET TO THE LOTTERY COMISSION OFFICE. ABOUT 6 WEEKS LATER I RECEIVED THE WINNINGS.

Guy in Canada bought a bunch of tickets that had printing errors, they were all winners, something like $90k. The lottery corp tried the same thing saying they arn't paying. The dude got a lawyer and ended up settling out of court.

Anthony Gardner Investigators determined that she had taped together portions of two different tickets in order to pass them off as a winning entry. Lottery officials are still reviewing the case, but say Newman eventually admitted to trying to forge the ticket. Experts say Newman could face charges for fraudulently making a counterfeit lottery ticket, which is a Class 6 felony.
You guys are all brain dead... she altered the ticket to purposefully win 20,000.. she has done this in the past on several occasions, and she got caught when investigators caught her while investigating this mistake. It’s not the lotteries fault or the machines fault for not cutting it right. Her dumbass really thought she would win by cutting off the tops of the tickets, so it would look like it was the machines fault. She knew they wouldn’t have accepted it, so she went to the news station to get everyone on her side, so they would have to give her the winnings. Good on Virginia lottery for not falling for the bullshit from this cunt. They have machines that scan the tickets and see what she really won. The only thing she won was, class 6 felony charges 😂😂
@@douglashoward4206 - First, it is not my "machine and/or dispenser" I don't work retail or anywhere that sells Lottery Tickets anymore. Not for the last few decades anyway. And from going on the follow up report from Fox from the investigation into the matter by the VA Lottery, they claim she admitted to cutting the tickets in the wrong spot and yes... She tried to scam the VA Lottery. The only ones she fooled was CNN because they totally BLOW at doing any research before reporting. They only give the side of the story THEY want to give without possible views of the other side. I've seen people buy multiple tickets and sometimes the whole pack. The reason for the "fine print" is for people like this who think they can "scam" the system... If you don't have the brains to clearly see the dotted lines and know they mark from one ticket to the next, you shouldn't be playing the lotto! And it isn't government funding. It's TAX PAYERS funding. So if you never paid taxes, congratulations on screwing the rest of us over. Otherwise, it is YOU that gets screwed just the same as the rest of us! You should be pissed, not defending her!
@@JNFDVclips except that research doesn't say she faked it. It says that she altered a ticket trying to claim $52. This one with the $20,000 winning was exactly as explained, two tickets cut together in the wrong place.
@@lauralishes1 The link you shared specifically says that she attempted to fake a winning ticket of $52, not the one that this story is about. That error was exactly as explained here.
Clearly two different tickets. Unless this is her first time buying, which I highly highly doubt, she KNOWS it's not a winner. The biggest loser is me for thinking CNN reports and posts newsworthy pieces.
UNLESS THIS IS THE FIRST TIME THE LOTTO PRINTED A TICKET I HIGHLY HIGHLY DOUBT IT. YOU THINK THEY PLAN ON RETURNING ALL THE MONEY FOR TICKETS SOLD, I HIGHLY HIGHLY DOUGHT IT
+jamin4556 The Machine is supposed to cut the Ticket at The Perforation Line... Not Below or above... However, IF You purchase a Ticket that is cut wrong... You've Still Purchased a Ticket... The Operative word here is TICKET... From Top to Bottom, Left to Right? It's still a (Ticket) That She PURCHASED, that MUST BE HONORED... However, In all fairness... It also depends on what the rules state on The Back of The Ticket... If the rules on The Back of The Ticket are Printed Clearly and INTACT... Then she is a winner according to The Rules printed On The Ticket...
How do we know that "they" did not make the machine do that. If I am going to play a game, ANY GAME, I want a fair chance to win. It's not fair that we pay taxes AND get scammed.

How could you not realize the ticket was split in the wrong place? It's obvious you can clearly see the lines where the top of the next ticket starts. Anyone who plays the lottery should realize this instantly
"Because I don't want to live in a world where you can't even trust your scratch off tickets" Genius, pure genius. He has isolated the direct problem with this planet in one foul swoop.
Why is it that there are a small handful of people who have won the lottery multiple times,while the rest of us never seem to ever win? Here is the answer: WinLotteryEasy5.blogspot.de
Unfortunately the machines do sometimes cut the tickets wrong, I have seen it happen before, at best I would say she can probably get the money she paid for the ticket back and be an angry customer, but I agree it’s not her fault, the store she bought it from needs to make sure the tickets are printing out correctly

Nah, if you know how lottery machines work. They do not give you tickets connected together. They cut each ticket. They can easily determine if this ticket was bought from a machine and if it was then she couldn't have tampered with it.
No Im talking about scratch tickets. Even though she did tamper with hers. I'm just trying to prove the fact that in some instances the tickets are sold separate automatically and if that were the case there would have been no way for her to tamper with it. But I digress.
I would be so disappointed. I would be planning to: help sick sis, buy top shelf alcohol, KFC wings, and save the rest for rainy day. Now the only rain this poor woman has is her tears of distraught 😭
Earthling1984 the lottery said she tried this scam a long time ago over 52.00 . and yeah obviously 2 tickets. she is trying to double her chances by cutting the ticket her self. she should be criminally charged.
I see what happened.....U can see the regular ticket is shorter than the one she bought. When it is scanned it will say no winner because the perforated line doesn't belong to the top portion. It isn't a misprint......It is a cutting error from the machine.
if you pay close attention she had both the tickets printed on a paper she tore it herself and tried to cheat but didn't win. what I'm upset about is the fact that there's actually an expiration date.
Shawn Yates thank you, someone else who realizes that while it’s the lottery or machines fault that the ticket was cut differently, anyone who knows a scratch off knows that the fringe seen in the “middle” of this ticket is where you separate tickets, clearly showing 2 tickets. She didn’t win because her ticket, which has a barcode to scan, scanned a loser. If the machine had properly printed that same ticket, she would have lost. At least give her a free ticket or $2 back. Not millions because she doesn’t realize it’s two tickets. Simple mistake which caused no harm
That's not the lottery's fault it's the fault of the store that put the tickets inside the machine and didn't line it up right to make the perfect cut. This is why all tickets now have those bar scans so they can tell if it's a claimer or not.
So let me get this right..... the ticket she had said she was a $20k winner because of a winning number on the next ticket in sequence matched? I'm sure a quick scan of the barcode will show that her ticket was never a winner in the first place.
Yeah I appreciate that, but look at the ticket..... It's been done with scissors! No machine in this day and age would cut something so terribly. Apparently she was rumbled for attempting to fraudulently claim on a ticket she cut.
@@robertwilliams5618 the proof is the machine that makes the cards only perforates. It doesn't rip or cut as shown in the graphic. Only a compete spastic would take the winning numbers from the card below to use in the card above. It's evident that the perforation (that's the white dotted line) is the partition between cards.
the ticket is ripped, it's obviously 2 different tickets. you can see the perforation. sucks, but the machine cut it wrong. it's that simple. it's not a winner, anyone who thinks it is, is out of their mind
The lottery should have to honor the ticket as it comes out of the machine. It is their machine therefore it is their loss and her win. The odds are already so slanted against the players that the lottery should just take the loss & maybe fix their crappy machine.
Are you as blind as the "winner" is to not see that #16 is on THE NEXT ticket, and not on hers which would make her a winner? Just because the machine cut the ticket wrong doesn't mean prizes, especially top prizes magically warp onto your ticket 😂😂.
wait, that means the next ticket has the correct number, but that player won't know it unless they try to redeem it, and they won't redeem it unless they actually won something. so are they to hunt down the person with the ticket with the correct number? doubtful. she's not responsible for the ticket machine, nor is she the repository of the numbers. her ticket she paid for clearly shows she wins 20THOU. tell us truthfully if you would find this fair or unfair and why.
+Code Slinger There is really not much to explain here. The ticket was "probably" cut by mistake by the machine. However, it doesn't take a rocket scientist to notice that that is not a winning ticket based on how the ticket looks and the other piece of another ticket sticking out from the bottom. I guarantee that when they scanned the unique serial number at the bottom of the ticket, it came out as a non winning ticket. She just wants easy money.
Everyone agreeing with this woman needs to take a hike. Everyone knows with any stratch off that the winning numbers are always at the top of the ticket. And the other ticket clearly was ripped, now whoever has the missing piece to the bottom half should be on the news trying to collect
This is the most ridiculous ! Holycrap... everytime a customers wins in lottery or casinos, always malfunctioning and error...this is a RIP-off ! Big time.
Helmut Grunther Clearly not the lottery's. It the fualt of whatever store she bought the ticket from. Lottery tickets like this are printed on rolls and are cut when purchased. There is plain as day on the ticket the lines where the it should have been cut. Weither the roll was misloaded in a machine at the store or cut by a cashier, I hate to say it but the lady should have paid closer attention. Partial tickets are not winners
:25 second mark it clearly shows she had part of a ticket that was next in line below the one she thinks she won on. It could not be any more obvious that she did not have a legit winning ticket.
I've heard of that happening, several times and that's just a crock of mess ,greed is all that is ,they get mad at something or someone, then someone hits a jackpot and oh well malfunction. Take it out on the ones that's keeping your door's open ,hell if it weren't for us gambling you wouldn't be open. Think about it the next malfunction you say to the next one you disappointed your Rich off us poor Polk's money and y'all live like Kings and Queens off our money. Us people drive a long way to win money and enjoy ourselves. How bout giving us a break this year and let the malfunction never be again pay up we put our money in your machines. We are all having hard times in this f- - -;ked
If you've ever bought a lottery ticket before, you know this isn't right. Perforated lines are there for a reason and I think I would of asked for a new ticket before leaving the store lol But that's just me. And. I understand the disappointment, but come on. It was really 2 different tickets. Be it a scam, an error or whatever, you should have known they weren't going to pay. And to talk of suing is just silly. It would never get that far.
Correct, at the most she should get her money back for the cost of the ticket since it was invalid to begin with, but she did not win - hence she shouldn't be able to collect the $20,000. In fact, there is no reason to believe that any tickets from the roll that hers came from won $20,000 and the lottery commission could verify if that is the case. If the roll contained no winners of $20,000 then no one was cheated - but the commission should refund any tickets brought forth that contain the same error. You must allow for them to reimburse you for their mistake before any legal action can be given serious thought... this is just another story of self-entitlement due to emotional distress. E.g. just because someone feels cheated doesn't mean they were. ktla.com/2015/09/09/woman-who-claimed-she-won-20000-from-virginia-lottery-scratcher-could-now-face-fraud-charges/
That's false advertising, no matter a machine error or not, if it says your a winner if you get these numbers blah blah blah, she wins or that's illegal, she should win in court if she doesn't get her prize money.
+Brian Hernandez Probably....the lottery is ironclad though....on the back of the tickets though it says something to the effect of the lottery isn't liable for misprints...
+jamin4556 technically it is not a misprint. she might have a case.. , anyways. she didn't know if it was a mistake or not. she was lucky that it was cut in a way that made the ticket a winning ticket. that's luck , and that's what playing lottery is all about. luck , she won!! . give her the money!!
WTF the fuck are idiots talking about? Do you even know what clickbait means? The title clearly explains what the video will be and the video lives up to the title. Clickbait is just the opposite. lojolsol and froglaps40, you're just dumb as all hell.
That’s BS they need to pay. It’s like I heard people winning off slot machines and the casino saying it’s a computer error which is a great way for people not to go to the casino anymore.
That's some BS, what if the next lottery ticket was a $20,000 winner and they saw the wrong numbers. Then that means that person would be out $20, 000 too!
When they investigated this, they discovered she has attempted stuff like this in her past. For example she admitted to taping winning numbers from one ticket to another in an attempt to pass it as a $52 winner. Clearly she is a con artist who likely tore it herself.
Ohhhhhh Nooooo~This will come as a shock I know,but now it turns out she will face fraud charges......and she has tried this exact same thing before. The first time she literally taped two tickets together!
How many tickets were sold that were “in error”? How long between inspection of the machines? It’s Lottery commission property, the machine isn’t owned and operated by a contractor.
How fast your lawyer would inform you she is an idiot and she is 100% wrong and CNN already got flack for posting this as they were made fun of. Her ticket wasn't a winner. No one held anything back, she just didnt win at all.. REad the report from the lottery when they spoke on it and you will see she is a complete tool
It's kind of like playing Black Jack and winning 21 hands in a row... Can The House say that The Dealer made Errors while shuffling the deck... This is a CLEAR CASE OF THE HOUSE LOOSING... PAY THE LADY...
On the back of the ticket, you can read where it says that misprints and lithography errors void instantly the ticket, good if she gets the money, but she has no case.
+Santiago Quintero that's why no one wins because every time someone wins the state plays the "error" card typical. The state realizes that in addition to making hundreds of millions of dollars from ticket sales they can delude the people into thinking it's legit and just keep the prize money too. Someone needs to be executed in retribution for so many people losing so much to pay the salaries of corrupt and worthless politicians.
The Virginia Lottery simply does not want to discharge its obligations. The lady did not forge the ticket. It was a genuine ticket of the Virginia Lottery.
If the machine accidentally cut the ticket in the wrong spot and not pay out, then does that mean customers can get a refund for accidentally buying a non-winning ticket? Should work both ways for that to be fair.
This is why you purchase your ticket at a convenience store. Where an actual person will hand you the card. Surprise she didn’t realize the numbers weren’t on the top of the card. She should have common sense to realize, the winning numbers never appear on the very bottom of a scratch-off card. Only way to figure out if you won anything is the serial number you scratch off. If I got a scratch ticket from a machine like that looked like her’s. Immediately reporting to the employee, how their scratch ticket machine is not cutting on the perforated lines (separating each ticket equally). Bet the person who purchased a card before he, might have thought they won money on the scratch off. Same goes for the person, who bought after her.
What the fuck, does no one understand how a lottery works?Anyone can mess with the ticket to make it look like a winner. That's why the barcode determines if it's a winner, not the actual game itself. I'm sick of people sueing the lottery. Everyone else just accepts it when they don't win.
if you are going to try to con a con man the way you tried... at LEAST use a freaking straight paper cutter so you will have a professional cut instead of a getto tear
wow wtf why does every little thing have to be considered rasist you stupid fucking liberels get a life and stop getting so offended at every little thing said
If its cut wrong and voided, why did they sell her the ticket? Thats a scam if I ever saw one. Selling tickets knowing that they were cut wrong in order to avoid paying the prize.
What? To clarify... the ticket was cut in such a way that the bottom part is a part of a DIFFERENT ticket. Thus, her number did NOT match. She just got lucky with a coincidence that it matched a different card that was cut improperly to be attached to her ticket. The true question isn’t if she won the $20,000 (she didn’t, most likely), it’s what the ACTUAL number the ticket was suppose to match with was
You can clearly see that there are perforations just about the "winning number" which clearly shows that two tickets are being used to look like one ticket. The bottom of the ticket hasn't been cut in a straight line which shows that the ticket wasn't cut by a machine, and have actually been cut by scissors. Clearly she was trying to scam the lotteries office and they were smart enough to notice.
WHAT ?????! THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME LOTTERY DON'T WANT TO PAY IT HAPPENS WAY TOO OFTEN ,AND IF THAT WAS TRUE THEN THEY POINT TO THAT BUT NOTHING LIKE THAT HAS HAPPENED
Doesn't matter where the machine cut the card, the scratch offs are in the middle of both cards. She scratched of an area that revealed she won $20,000 she should receive the money. The lotto makes billions of these games. The mistake was theirs now pay off.
I didn't believe this was on CNN.This woman would think everyone was stupid.First of all,machine never cut like that.Second,she had bought 2 tickets and torn them that way intentionally.It would had been a clean cut if they came from the machine.I'm wondering if CNN reporter knows how to play this game?
if a company makes a car and the breaks fail because of the company using cheap parts of a bad design, then the company is at fault. same should go with this
0:25 you can see she has to different tickets. also google images and you can see she was trying to use "winning # from 1 tickets and matching up with "prize #" to try to win. Why would CNN give such BS news,,always trying to keep people upset FAULTY SMH
I am sorry but I disagree with this it is a clear misprint on this ticket the numbers were for the next ticket not for the ticket she scratched off. What fool thinks the winning numbers are on the bottom of the ticket especially when you can see the line where you cut the ticket off of the roll before the numbers you scratch off. It is plainly seen that those numbers were for the ticket after her ticket and the winning numbers for her ticket wasn't going to be a 16.
She has a point. If the ticket was cut in error, it's the lotto's problem, not hers. Now if she admitted to doctoring the ticket, then the point is moot, and she is in the wrong. But if that was the way the ticket was sold....well, if I was in charge, I would give her at least some money out of good faith.
It clearly is a screw up... It's obvious she has part of two separate tickets. The retailer, or she ripped off the top of the ticket, and left part of the next ticket with the "winning" number attached.
I would recommend for you to go read this article about this "poor" lady that shows how she admitted to the lottery's investigators in a previous case that she had tapped two pieces of two separate tickets in an attempt to collect 52 dollars. ktla.com/2015/09/09/woman-who-claimed-she-won-20000-from-virginia-lottery-scratcher-could-now-face-fraud-charges/
