A regular lottery player bought a scratch-off and was surprised to find that he won the grand prize - a $500,000 jackpot, but when he tried to claim it from the company, they said it was a misprint, and he wasn't a winner after all.
John Wines bought the $20 Ruby 7's scratch-off ticket from a Roswell, New Mexico gas station, and assumed he won big as the ticket appeared to show two prizes of $250,000, a $75 reward and one for $50. regular lottery player bought a scratch-off and was surprised to find that he won the grand prize - a $500,000 jackpot, but when he tried to claim it from the company, they said it was a misprint, and he wasn't a winner after all.

When he went back to the grocery store, the clerk scanned it and said it came up as 'not a winner.'
John told Fox News: “She scanned it in the machine and told me it isn’t a winner. I couldn't believe it.
So, John turned to the parent lottery company to try and collect his earnings.
The company that makes these scratch-offs also told him that the card wasn't a winner, despite what the prize area says
