He claims to win 340 million dollars and is denied the prize in the lottery due to an unexpected error

The thrill of winning the lottery is a dream shared by many, however it became a nightmare for John Cheeks, who filed a lawsuit against Powerball after deny him a $340 million prize because of an error on the company's website.

It was January 6 when Cheeks purchased a ticket when the jackpot reached 340 million. Without rushing, he waited until January 7 to review the winning numbers, choosing dates of births of family members.

Realizing that he was right, he called a friend, who advised him to take a screenshot as evidence, Well, he never imagined having problems when he went to claim the ticket.

The next day, when trying to redeem his prize, the surprise was heartbreaking: the numbers on the website did not match those of the live draw, which is why, after claiming to win 340 million dollars, they denied him the prize due to an unexpected error.

A visit to the Washington DC Lottery and Gaming Office confirmed an error, indicating that he was not the winner. Inexplicably, They suggested he throw away the bill, but Cheeks, distrustful, kept it in a safe deposit box.

Powerball told its lawyer, Richard Evans, that Taoti Enterprises, the digital advertising agency responsible for the website, He made a mistake and uploaded the wrong numbers to the website.

However, Evans, despite being told to throw away the ticket as it was invalid, is waiting for evidence to support this claim, since he is seeking justice by ensuring that he is the winner.

Given Evans' interview with NBC 4, it is worth noting that because in January no one claimed the money, the Jackpot grew until February 6, when someone else claimed more than 700 million.

I have a degree in journalism, graduated in 2021 from the Faculty of Philosophy and Letters of the Autonomous University of Sinaloa (UAS). I took extracurricular courses in Photoshop, photography, and writing. I was born to be a writer, a speaker and to face whatever comes my way to never stop believing in myself, a woman who can help you believe in colors and stop you until you see the value in yourself. With pleasure in searching for viral notes that manage to transmit the reality of the moment, to know every corner, in the same way to obtain and reflect truthful data from the national and international entertainment world and a vocation to inform about the southern states of Mexico. As a personal space, I mention that I seek inner peace in art galleries, books and writing. In the mornings I like to remember my virtues to have energy during the day, in the afternoons I am a fan of sunsets and at nights of photographing the moon, while every second of my life I admire myself as a person and Adele as my example of improvement .
