$26 million California lottery ticket may have been destroyed in wash

I can't believe we still don't have electronic lottery tickets...

on video buying the ticket

They are thermal tix so heat would destroy them.

"Her clothes were washed and when she pulled it out, it was all crumpled up into little pieces and she said she frantically tried to put it back together, but she couldn't,

well that's gotta hurt!

It is funny that the lottery will go to all depths with all cameras from every angle and even audio to prove that someone cheated the lottery. They will just laugh at you if you claim you won but lost the ticket.

Precedent for Dominion subpoena fail now established.

By design. California will now pocket the extra $26 million.

So you were already aware it was a winning ticket and you didn't put it basically under armed guard?

I smell bullshit. So a co-worker bought the ticket, but she is seen on camera buying it herself?

I'd love to see the real winner come forward and expose these two as con artists.

Breakage. The state keeps all breakage.

It's called "escheat".

Yes, the word cheat is right inside escheat.

That’s the way the mop flops.

Destiny.

Planet's most expensive load of laundry.

That would suck.

Exactly.

If I had a winning ticket, step 1 is to secure it in a safe deposit box; step 2 call lawyer to set up a trust, and take whatever other pre-emptive legal/financial measures warranted.

Imagine all the DOGE coins she could of bought

She didn't know it was a winner until she went to retrieve it from her clothes and discovered they had gone through the wash.

She could have recovered it. A police forensics laboratory could have reconstructed the ticket, and proved the simulation was grounded on the remains.

They do something similar with the Dead Sea Scrolls.

we do, its on pancake swap

That's not good, I grew-up in Norwalk during my formative years. California has gone to hell and that 's why I moved out years ago.

1: There is no guarantee police would do this for her.

2: It wouldn't be free.
