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.

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
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
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
+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...
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 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.
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.
+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.
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
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
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.
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
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 😭
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.
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
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/
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.
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.
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 😂😂.
: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.
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
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.
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.
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
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.
Luis Valencia 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.

yea and guess what? every scratch off has a barcode so when u are finished u can double check it. When she checks the barcode the machine will say BIG FAT LOSER. Her barcode will not say 20,000 because the Winning numbers is for the next ticket in sequence.
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.
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.
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.
She altered it! I would like to know what charges were brought against her? www.fox5dc.com/news/virginia-lottery-woman-altered-ticket-to-make-it-look-like-a-winner
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.
David hunter no your misinterpreting the way it was cut...... the 11 and 16 at the bottom are her winning numbers.... meaning if any of her numbers match the 11 or 16, it means she is a winner..... which clearly she has a 16 smack dab in the middle of the ticket.... the error occurred with the placement of the 2 winning numbers (the 11 and the 16) .... on her ticket, they are on the bottoms, but in a normal ticket they are at the top. What happened was the matching or store ripped off the ticket, inadvertently ripping off her winning numbers that were at the top (they are missing at the top) and so, this woman only had the 2 winning numbers at the bottom to compare too...... this was totally the machines fault here. Essentially, she doesn’t have any winning numbers to scratch, as hers were ripped off with the previous ticket.... basically, the machine was registering the winning numbers to be on the bottom, instead of the top...... so everyone who bought a ticket from this specific roll had this same thing happen..... they were given winning numbers that belonged to the next ticket.
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.
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!
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
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

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 😂😂
give her her money there still selling the tickets and collecting money on them GIVE HER HER MONEY YOU BUNCH OF CROOKS
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.

The fight over money brings out the worst in people/friends/family , everyone loses, sad but true.
"I'm sure I want to live in a world where you can't even trust your scratch off tickets anymore"
I'm sorry but that's obvious error, and she obviously didn't win.
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
She knows damn well that's two tickets
Couldn't AGREE MORE!!!!!
If you play enough scratch off couldn't agree more that it was deff separate tickets .. idk how CNN is making this news .. smh
Wheather she knows or not it's still there mistake PAY UP
Who cares. They made the mistake not her. They owe her the money
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
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
That is not true . You buy those tickets and you never think about if the ticket is cut wrong, you only hope you win.
Before the guy showed the ticket was cut off I was on her side, but a blind man can see that shit ain't right.
She's boned

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...
still not her fault. if they depend on the machine then it's their fault.
She’s mad that the winning number of a totally different ticket didn’t make her ticket a winner? How is this even news?
Lawyers should be calling her.
For what...to advise her they are 2 seperate tickets by all lottery standards and that she is an idiiot underachiever?
She could've tore it herself if she bought multiple tickets at once...
+Josh Gerhards they say it goes toward education, but in NC the schools receive no money from our "education " lottert
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.
Ya I'm talking about the vending machines. At least the ones I've used. When a clerk gives you tickets they are usually left together in a "book".
daniel conner the machines are off calibration it has happened to me many times. But I am smart enough to know the difference
I can put 2 tickets together and claim a bigger prize.
Get a lawyer and give them 5000 out it
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.
Umm... That was obviously two tickets... Why is this reporter saying she should get the money??? How on earth did this even make the news... Really???
cnn is fake news

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.

+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!!

Just like at casinos when you hit big on slots they literally tell you that you get nothing because the machine malfunctioned.
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.

We are all having hard times in this f- - -;ked
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.
@@ssss-df5qz where's the proof that she cut it?
@@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.
@@ssss-df5qz that makes sense but wouldn't CNN know that and not run this story?

+ExcelHedge And who's fault it that? Clearly not hers and she clearly scratched off a $20,000 win too. I say sue for the money.
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
+Rattus Norvegicus here is the ticket she tried to collect on. It is obviously 2 separate tickets.localtvwtkr.files.wordpress.com/2015/09/lotto4.jpg

"so she doesn't have to start from scratch again" xD
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.
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
If this was in 2016 or later CNN would have blamed Trump for it.
I can almost bet, if that ticket was a winning ticket for $5 dollars, they would have cashed it in!!!🤔🧐 Ringo 🇺🇸 🇳🇴
It was never a winning ticket for any amount.
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.

+Czech nicely said
DidUseeThat_OMG
I bet you wouldn't be saying that if you bought that ticket!!!!
DidUseeThat_OMG at the top or the ticket it has a number too plus a code that tells if its a winner
But she didn't win. You can clearly see the line that divides the two tickets. She is just trying to get easy money
I agree. Wow.
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.
+Hugh G where is the other part of that ticket.because the whole part of that is a winner. I wonder where the other part of the ticket is???
+Code Slinger the other part of that ticket is the winner.
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.
That's not her problem..
Give me my money.
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.
bellesmom2012 they would...had it won...it did not. The scanner would have said not a winner
You reaching
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 😂😂.
: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 have no problem with this. You can see the cut line . That winning number goes with the next ticket. Moving on!
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
Agreed. Sorry
sue them for double. its their mistake
This country is in the toilet
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!

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 taped 2 tickets together, she's a con.
if u can see it is cut of at the top not just at the bottom.

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.

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.

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.

Where is the justice for the woman? Give the woman here Monday !!!
I would be pissed she should get her money.
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.
No surprises there. Because this stuff is checked over and over and over again
on 0:24 you can see she cheated.
Roler Mane how in UK you can't cheat on a scratchcard like how does someone cheat on scratchcard lol
She didn't cheat but its obvious she didn't win lol
David hunter no your misinterpreting the way it was cut...... the 11 and 16 at the bottom are her winning numbers.... meaning if any of her numbers match the 11 or 16, it means she is a winner..... which clearly she has a 16 smack dab in the middle of the ticket.... the error occurred with the placement of the 2 winning numbers (the 11 and the 16) .... on her ticket, they are on the bottoms, but in a normal ticket they are at the top. What happened was the matching or store ripped off the ticket, inadvertently ripping off her winning numbers that were at the top (they are missing at the top) and so, this woman only had the 2 winning numbers at the bottom to compare too...... this was totally the machines fault here. Essentially, she doesn’t have any winning numbers to scratch, as hers were ripped off with the previous ticket.... basically, the machine was registering the winning numbers to be on the bottom, instead of the top...... so everyone who bought a ticket from this specific roll had this same thing happen..... they were given winning numbers that belonged to the next ticket.
0:55 You can see it's not her fault; she didn't cheat.
So what was the outcome ?please do an update
pay the $20000. avoid the scandal and the bad press.
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.
The whole roll would have to be cut wrong in order for that to happen. ..
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!
SHE DESERVES THAT MONEY, SHE'S NOT THE ONE WHO MADE THE ERROR!!!
It didn't win, though. It's clearly two different tickets. She deserves nothing.
Aww, what a cute little troll you are.
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
