  1. It'll cause distress to the subject of the error.. specially if the delivering process was impeded..

  11. He should sue whatever company displayed the wrong numbers. If it was Powerball, then they will settle with him eventually because it was their fault.

  25. Besides NATO, perhaps some small countries in Eastern Europe need double protection from US military bases! Because facing the powerful threat of Russian military force! We need more defense forces, so US military bases are our best choice! You see, Ukraine doesn't have a US military base, so it's easily occupied by Russia!

  26. Not entirely true , there were 2 set of numbers on DC website. One set were the correct numbers the other ones were testing numbers .

  27. Bigger problem is the guy that threw away his winnig ticket because he initially looked at the fake numbers

  33. I feel stupid watching this.
    He clearly doesn't have a case.
    If the court grants him money for a website error, all hell breaks loose. There will be an insane amount of claims for all sorts of errors. The law is for maintaining societal order, not for one man. I'm pretty sure they will settle out of court.
    Reading the comments is depressing. People don't know how the law works.

  38. my guess is the court will find powerball / dc lottery liable, but won’t impose damages near that amount. bc i think there’s absolutely a strong case for gross negligence. but court usually only award actual damages, so loss than he incurred as a result of not winning. there’s an argument that it caused him emotional and fiscal distress, but probably not $340 million worth of

  39. Read the Ts and Cs of the lottery or at least do a Google search before posting your opinion or go to a cat video or something easy for you
