Assuming the story is true… They fucked up and he intentionally took advantage of it knowing full well those weren’t the winning numbers…and they should pay him anyway?
The Powerball is run by the state. It’s really a tax on people who don’t understand probability. So really not sticking it to some corporation, but stealing from every citizen.
Ah yeah, that’s not as nice as I was picturing then. I still can’t help but side with the guy at least a bit though… it’s just something about the predatory nature of lotteries. In fact it’s almost more offensive that it’s run by a government haha.
I don’t think that should matter. They made the error and they should pay for it.

Normally I’d agree with you on the basis of reason alone, but I think lottery companies can stand being gouged once in a while.
Edit: shows how little I know about lotteries haha
