NM -- When is a winning lottery ticket not a winning ticket? When it's a misprint.Lottery officials in New Mexico say a Roswell man's ticket was definitely a misprint and they won't give him any payout, KOB-TV reports. John Wines bought a scratch-off ticket at a gas station in Roswell in December. As he started scratching, five winning numbers, ones and twos, were revealed for a prize of

more than $500,000."There's a 1 right here for $250,000," said Wines. "Right below that is another 1 and it's a $250,000 winner."But here's the problem: The maximum prize for the game is only supposed to be $250,000.Still, Wines thought he'd struck it rich and went back to the gas station to claim his money. The clerk put it through the machine to verify the ticket and discovered the ticket was a misprint.The clerk told him the store doesn't pay out for misprints, and Lottery officials told him the same thing when he contacted them. They then sent Wines an email thanking him for bringing the printing error to their attention and offered him $100 in scratch-off tickets for his trouble.Wines, who just retired, still wants his half million."I mean, if you thought you won $500,000 and somebody tells you that you didn't, and you can prove to them you did, it's pretty stressful for somebody to say, 'No, you're not getting your money,'" Wines said.Wines likely doesn't have legal grounds for a fight. Buried in the fine print of the official lottery rules is this line stating, "The NMLA is not responsible for erroneously printed or mutilated Tickets." Related Topics:financelotterymoneyu.s

NEW MEXICO (WITI) -- A New Mexico man thought he hit it big on a lottery ticket, but lottery officials say it was all a mistake. In December, John Wines bought http://abc13.com/finance/winning-$500000-lottery-ticket-a-misprint/463695/ a scratch-off lottery ticket at a gas station in Roswell, New Mexico. As he started scratching, he came across multiple winning numbers totaling over $500,000. However, the maximum prize for the ticket is $250,000. Source: NBC VOD "There's one right here for $250,000. Right below that is another one and it's a $250,000 winner," Wines said. Wines thought he hit the big one, but he says when he went to the http://fox6now.com/2015/01/05/he-thought-he-hit-it-big-on-a-lottery-scratch-off-ticket-but-lottery-officials-had-some-bad-news/ gas station to get his money, the gas station attendant had some bad news. "I took it back in and she told me ‘that is not a winner. ‘" They told me that it was a misprint and they don't pay off for misprints," Wines said. Wines says he contacted the New Mexico Lottery. Lottery officials replied by email saying, “We did find a flaw in that particular pack of tickets and it’s been reported to our printer. Thanks for bringing this to our attention. I did complete a reconstruction of your ticket and it was not a winner.” Wines begs to differ. "I mean, if you thought you won $500,000 and somebody tells you that you didn't, and you can prove to them you did, it's pretty stressful for somebody to say, ‘no you're not getting your money.' If it was $50 or $75, I would not think a thing about it. But this is $500,000. That's a half-million," Wines said. According to KOB, the New Mexico Lottery did offer Wines $100 in lottery tickets.

That's what happened to Paul Pasquarosa of Boston, an unemployed father of two, who spent $10 on a lottery ticket the day before his birthday. (Hat tip to Time Newsfeed.) Upon uncovering three red words on a scratch-off Cashword ticket, Pasquarosa believed he'd won the lottery's $1 million prize, according to CBS Boston. “I’m looking at it; I have three red words. It says three red words wins a million dollars. I called my son and told him things were gonna be OK,” Pasquarosa told CBS Boston. But Pasquarosa's joy was short-lived. When he showed the ticket to his lawyer, it was revealed that there was a "offset in the printing," according to CBS. Evidently, of the 20 million tickets printed, 2,200 of them were defective. According to Time, lottery officials attempted to prevent the misprinted tickets from being sold. Pasquarosa's ticket was worth nothing. This isn't the first time a misprint on a lottery ticket has caused a serious let-down

A Washington, D.C. woman who thought she won $20,000 through the lottery, but whose ticket was later deemed invalid, has said she did not do anything wrong and deserves the money. Now, lotto officials are investigating the ordeal. Ardella Newman thought she won big after purchasing a lottery ticket on Aug. 22, 2015, in Washington, D.C. But officials later said it was issued in error. (Credit: WJLA) Ardella Newman purchased the $2 scratch-off ticket on Aug. 22, TV station WJLA reported Monday. "When I saw that $20,000, you don't know how excited I was," she said. However, lottery officials have told her the ticket was issued in error, noting that normal tickets have the winning numbers on the top but Newman’s ticket had the numbers listed on the bottom. Newman has since filed a complaint with the Virginia Lottery, WJLA reported. "I want the money that I thought I won. If you look at the ticket, it says I won this money. It wasn't anything that I did wrong. It's what they did wrong," she said. Officials with the lottery responded Tuesday to reports of the mishap, saying the situation was still under investigation by the organization’s Audit and Security Department. An initial investigation showed Newman’s ticket was in fact two different tickets. “One ticket was cut off near the top, and the corresponding top of a different ticket was still attached at the perforation,” Virginia Lottery Communications Specialist John Hagerty said in a statement. Newman’s ticket contained a fully intact barcode and validation code, both indicating it was not a winner, Hagerty added. “We can not award a prize for a nonwinning ticket. Additionally, we cannot take parts of two tickets to create one winning ticket,” he said. “A
