Also, turning in a lottery ticket you didn't actually purchase may be considered fraud. (Obviously depends on location.)
- kortilla 6y agoWhat? In what jurisdiction is a lottery ticket bound to the purchaser?
- dcuthbertson 6y agoIn the US, if the lottery ticket is signed it then belongs to the signer
- kortilla 6y agoThat has nothing to do with purchasing it.
- Quekid5 6y agoThere have been cases in the UK, I believe, where a couple picked up a discarded winning lottery ticket and tried to claim it. I think they got a suspended sentence, at least. IIRC, video surveillance showed that it wasn't them who had purchased the ticket. (Or at least that they couldn't have.) I don't necessarily agree with it, but that is the law in some countries/jurisdictions.
