Rs 2,800 Crore Lottery Jackpot: Why This Winner Took Legal Action Against the Company


Karnataka News


Luck can strike at any moment. A person who starts with nothing can rise to greatness. You might have heard stories of fortunate individuals worldwide winning significant sums through lottery tickets. However, a man from Washington, D.C., claims he has won over ₹2,800 crore from a lottery ticket. Now, he has decided to pursue legal action against Powerball and the D.C. Lottery.

Sometimes, luck can arrive unexpectedly, often associated with the goddess Lakshmi. It is essential to be fortunate enough to keep her presence close. Just as a morsel may reach someone else’s mouth before you can taste it, the same is true for this situation. The individual who claimed over ₹2,800 crore in lottery winnings has now taken legal action against Powerball and the D.C. Lottery.

John Cheeks purchased a Powerball lottery ticket on January 6, 2023. He was shocked to find his lottery number listed on the D.C. Lottery’s website just two days later. Upon discovering his number among the winners, he made inquiries. However, both Powerball and the D.C. Lottery later contended that the winning numbers were published incorrectly, leading to a legal battle regarding the accuracy of the winner’s list.

In an interview with NBC Washington, Mr. Cheeks shared his initial excitement: “I was a little excited. As soon as I saw my number, I called a friend. I took a photo as he recommended. But he submitted his ticket to the Lottery and Gaming office, which rejected it. The lottery numbers were published incorrectly. One of the claims agents told me to throw my ticket in the trash.”

Following this incident, Cheeks sought legal counsel to file a lawsuit against Powerball. His lawsuit names the Multi-State Lottery Association and game contractor Taoty Enterprises as defendants. Cheeks has filed eight separate lawsuits against Powerball, alleging breach of contract, negligence, and fraud. Additionally, he has requested daily interest on the amount he believes he is owed, totaling $340 million.

However, administrators have denied Mr. Cheeks’ jackpot claim, according to court documents. In their correspondence, they stated that his prize claim was denied because the ticket was not validated as a winner by the OLG gaming system, as per their rules.

Richard Evans, the attorney representing Cheeks, argued that since the winning numbers matched Cheeks’ lottery numbers, he is entitled to the full jackpot. The next court hearing in this case is scheduled for February 23.
