RadioOnFire.com - One 16-year-old in California got lucky and bought a scratch-off from a gas station that ended up winning $5 million. However, the California Lottery Commission ended up denying the winning scratch-off because it was purchased by a minor. Now, Ward Thomas—the 16-year-old’s father is suing the Commission and gas station clerk.
Thomas’ claim says that he sent his son to the gas station to exchange winning scratch-offs for new ones. He also noted that the clerk never ID’d his son when the teenager went to purchase the tickets. Along with that, he claims the clerk never stated that you needed to be 18 or older to play. After realizing he won, Thomas went to get the ticket verified in two different locations, with one of the locations being the commission’s Santa Ana district office. Since being hit with the lawsuit, the lottery commission has not issued a statement to press.
