Woman who tossed $1M lotto ticket wants money
An Arkansas woman who threw away a winning lottery ticket worth $1 million filed paperwork Monday arguing that another woman who plucked the ticket out of the trash should turn the prize money over to the court.
Jones claimed the prize money last summer, turning in a scratch-off "Diamond Dazzler" ticket that Duncan said she purchased at a convenience store in Beebe, about 35 miles northeast of Little Rock.
Duncan told a judge she discarded the ticket after an electronic scanner told her it was "not a winner." The state's Lottery Commission, meanwhile, stands by its machines and says its equipment functions properly.
The request from Sharon Duncan's attorneys comes after a judge ruled this month that the prize money belongs to her, not Sharon Jones, who picked the ticket from the trash and claimed the jackpot.
The judge already issued a restraining order in the case — but only after Jones and her husband spent some of the money on a new pickup truck and gave tens of thousands of dollars to their children.
Now, Duncan's attorneys say any vehicles or property bought with the money from the winning ticket should be seized and impounded.
Jones' lawyers, who plan to appeal the judge's decision, argued Monday that Duncan's attorneys filed their latest request too soon, so it shouldn't count. |
