Man sues Powerball after $340million prize denied due to DC Lottery error

A Washington man is suing Powerball and the Lottery for refusing to pay a $340 million prize last year after, the lawsuit claims, his numbers came up on the Lottery’s website.

He bought a Powerball ticket using a personal number combination of family birthdates and other things.

He did not see the drawing, but he pulled the website up on his laptop on the next day and saw his numbers.


But the numbers posted on the D.C. Lottery website were not the same as those pulled in that Powerball drawing.

His lawsuit claims his numbers remained on the D.C. Lottery website for three days and the size of the Powerball prize at that time was $340 million.
