with the winning ticket for a week while she consulted an attorney &
accountant about how to manage the money. The mother of a 12-year old
daughter even went to her hospital
telecommunications job on New Year's Day, so others wouldn't suspect her
good fortune. Elecia Battle, 40, of Cleveland had claimed she lost the winning ticket, but pleaded no contest to lying on a police report.

| James & Rebeca Allen, who have been married
for 33 years, both have their own businesses and plan to continue working.
They are devoted to the employees who depend on them for jobs. Some of the
prize money will be used to pay off debts and upgrade their equipment. James, a regular lottery player, displayed remarkable trust in collecting his winnings. Rather than personally checking his tickets after each drawing, he often lets them accumulate and drops them off at a retailer to have the clerk scan for winners, returning later to collect his prize money. Evidently, Allen left his winning ticket with a very honest clerk. Even though the clerk could have claimed the winning ticket as his own without Allen’s knowledge, the clerk instead called Allen and told him to return to the store right away. “He was shaking as he held my ticket,” Allen said. “He wouldn’t even take a dime as a thank you. He said at his business they are not allowed to accept money and he didn’t want to be fired.” Allen added that the clerk did not want to be identified and does not work at the store where Allen purchased his ticket. |

numbers) were all there," Dave continued. Thinking he had written the numbers
down incorrectly, he double-checked them only to find he had indeed matched
all six numbers. "It was so unbelievable. I called Petra, and we both
compared the numbers on the ticket right up against the computer screen." 42-year old Dave & 37-year old Petra have already quit their respective truck driving & cleaning jobs. |

| Alva 'Jeanie' Osborne, a 44-year old Bullitt County resident, is employed at Whatever It Takes Transmission Parts in Shepherdsville & does plan to continue to work.

The winning ticket was also sold at the store where she regularly purchases her tickets. | U$7.5 | July 16, 2003 (US Powerball) |
The woman almost missed out on her big win because of a
clerk error but in turn this error is what actually provided her with the
winning numbers. "I always buy a $3 quick pick but the clerk only printed a
$2 ticket. I said that was fine but the clerk insisted I take an additional
$1 quick pick. The $1 quick pick turned out to be the winning ticket. That
was the best decision I've ever made," the winner told lottery officials.

| A Vancouver man wants the courts to help him learn whether his fingerprints are on a decade-old $10-million lottery ticket. Michael Ufnal claims he's the rightful owner of a winning lottery ticket he says was cashed in by a neighbour. But he lost the proof more than 10 years ago. In an affidavit filed in B.C. Supreme Court, Ufnal says that in May of 1992 he bought a lottery ticket at a convenience store and put it in his wallet. Then he lost the wallet. In the court documents, Ufnal claims he later found the billfold but the Lotto 6/49 ticket, which he is certain was a $10-million winner, was gone. Ufnal says his neighbours eventually claimed the money from a winning ticket they say was theirs. Ufnal is petitioning the court to have the B.C. Lottery Corp. hand over the ticket for inspection. He believes his fingerprints could still be on it, possibly proving he is the rightful owner. In his affidavit, Ufnal says he didn't pursue the matter for 10 years because he was unaware modern forensic science might help him prove his case. He claims it would only take a few days for testing to resolve the matter. | 10 | 1992 | Vancouver, BC |
