['Dan Katz']
Poker News Daily
Always in the last place you lookImagine winning $200 million, but losing out on an additional $200 million.
That’s the emotional push and pull that a California man is going through, as he won $197.5 million in the Mega Millions multistate lottery, but just lost a lawsuit over a misplaced second ticket that would have gotten him another $197.5 million.
He claims, however, that he bought two tickets with the same winning numbers and lost one of the tickets.
Thus, he was only able to redeem one of them for $197.5 million.
This week, a judge threw out the lawsuit, saying that without the second ticket, Lahijani had no claim to the other $197.5 million.
