Responding to ABC new Leach stated,“I did nothing but help this man. I was trying to give him what he was asking for.”
The issue of the winning scratchcard is now been handled by the California Lottery who have forwarded this hotly contested scratch card ticket issue to their security and law enforcement division who are on the matter.
Spokesperson Russ Lopez stated,” At this point we would not make a judgment as to who owns the ticket. The ticket has not been claimed yet. Once the ticket has been claimed then we can say a little bit more,”
Lopez pointed out the unbelievable odds of hitting a winning jackpot not one but twice. The chance to win the $1million jackpot were a 1 in 1.2 million and the chance to win the scratch-off last Friday were a staggering 1 in 3.9 million.
The matter is under adjudication and Lopez stated that all sides of this intriguing winning scratch card are being looked into before a final decision is made.
However this saga is resolved, it is truly amazing at how you are able to win multiple life changing jackpots when scratching away on your scratch cards games or lotto tickets.
