When the man went to get the winnings, he ran into trouble. It turned out that he could not take the money if he did not take part in the press conference and did not reveal his identity.
A man intends to defend his rights and requires the State Game Commission, which controls the lottery in New York, permission to remain anonymous in order to protect themselves from fraudsters. If the commission refuses, the man plans to sue.
“Where I live, everyone knows me. All people will know about my winnings, and I am afraid that they may come to me. Everyone who knows me says I'm too nice. And I don’t want to be used,” the lottery winner explains his position.
Former employee of the pizza Little caesars 24 April bought a ticket at a liquor store Mosholu parkway. He bought a ticket between times, and remembered him by chance. Erasing the numbers, the man saw that he had won.
“I erased the coating. Five was a comma. I thought maybe $5000. But then I saw another comma. I couldn't believe my eyes. I won 5 million dollars. I was jumping for joy all over the house,” the man recalls.
A man wants to spend money to help his 4-year-old daughter, invest 1 a million in the future and dreams of opening a car repair shop.
But state lottery officials said that he could not get the winnings until he took a photo and took part in the May 24 press conference. Since, according to the lottery rules, all winners who have won more than 1 million dollars must go through this procedure before receiving the money. The rules are listed on the back of the lottery ticket.
