Warhippy Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 http://globalnews.ca/video/1873031/whats-next-for-the-lotto-max-50-million-winner/ BCLC spokesperson Chris Fairclough tells Global News about the winning Lotto Max ticket being claimed and what’s next for the winner. Anything they want within reason...they're $50 million richer. Why, 2 more tickets like that they might be able to afford a nice condo downtown or a house on the north shore....

DonLever Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 There is a rumour there is big dispute over ownership of the ticket. I will not be surprised if there will be a lawsuit out of this. Also, I remember there was a guy a few years who won a big lottery but did not claim the prize until his divorce with his wife was finalized. That guy waited almost a year too.

Also, I remember there was a guy a few years who won a big lottery but did not claim the prize until his divorce with his wife was finalized. That guy waited almost a year too. There already is a lawsuit. http://www.theprovince.com/news/Lawsuit+filed+Burnaby+workers+fight+over+unclaimed+million+lottery+prize+with+video/10434540/story.html Waiting for a divorce to finalize wont help anything. She can still sue him for her portion of the winnings if the ticket was purchased before the divorce. Hiding an asset does not make it magic or something.

nucklehead Posted March 11, 2015 Author Share Posted March 11, 2015 He's talking about the lost interest over 1 year. Which is really what one should do. Even at 2% it comes to a million dollars. If you can't live on that you've got problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An advance on the funds means the bank charges you interest on the advance instead of you earning interest on the winnings...the opposite of making money.

DonLever Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 Its been 2 days since Lotto BC announced that someone turned in the winning ticket. And Lotto BC confirm its the winning ticket. So why is it taking so long to introduce the winner to the public? Lotto BC knows where and when the winning ticket was bought. If the ticket holder said he bought it at that place and at that time, that should be good enough. It should not take days to verify this. It should be a matter of hours. There must be some dispute over the real ownership of the ticket that is preventing the rewarding of the $50 million. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There must be some dispute over the real ownership of the ticket that is preventing the rewarding of the $50 million. Yep..seems someone wanted it all...or so it seems..nobody will be getting the 50 million for awhile.... The mystery has deepened over who won a $50-million lottery in B.C., with a Burnaby woman making claims that one of her co-workers and the administrator of a workplace lottery pool fraudulently obtained the winning ticket. Gayleen Rose Elliott, an employee at Shoppers Drug Mart, claims that Dalbir Sidhu, a fellow employee and the man who ran the workplace lottery pool, is in possession of the winning ticket from the March 14 draw, the jackpot from which remains unclaimed. In a lawsuit filed in B.C. Supreme Court, Elliott says that after the draw she asked Sidhu about the status of the pool’s tickets and was initially told that he’d bought them at an Esso gas station on 152nd Street in Surrey. She says she asked him to produce the validated tickets for the other members of the pool and was told they were “in the box” where past lottery tickets were stored. But she says she searched the box and found no validated tickets for March 14, then contacted lottery officials, who said that the pool’s specified numbers for the draw were never sold. In an email to members of the pool dated Nov. 23, Sidhu said that he forgot to purchase the March 14 tickets due to an inadvertent recording error on his part and prior family engagements, says Elliott. “At all material times, the defendant has been in fraudulent possession of and has knowingly converted the March 14, 2014 tickets, one of which is the winning Quick Pick lottery ticket, for his own benefit and without the pool’s permission.” Lottery officials say the winning ticket was sold in Langley. Elliott says that in 2012, she, Sidhu and a number of other employees at the drugstore entered into a contract to form an informal weekly lottery pool, with each member of the pool chipping in $5 a week to play the B.C. Lottery Corporation’s Lotto Max and, occasionally, Lotto 6/49. A term of the contract was that eight members of the pool would specify a set of seven numbers each for the weekly Lotto Max and four members would request a Quick Pick, her lawsuit says. The pool members trusted Sidhu to administer the pool by recording members’ weekly payments, purchasing the tickets and validating the tickets each week to determine their status, she says. Reached by phone on Tuesday at her workplace in Coquitlam’s Burquitlam Plaza, Elliott declined to comment on the lawsuit. “I’m at work and really I don’t have any comments about it. It’s a stressful situation and I’d appreciate you not calling me at work about it.” She said Sidhu was not at the store. Asked whether he still works at the store, she said: “Like I said, I have no comment.” Elliott, whose lawsuit claims the winning ticket was worth $52 million, is seeking a court declaration that she is entitled to judgment against Sidhu in the amount of $52 million, plus interest, in addition to unspecified damages for fraud and breach of contract.
