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 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 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/ 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.
