5 Million Dollar Lottery Ticket Owner To Finally Cash His Earnings



A New Yorker who was scammed from his victory of 5 million dollars back in 2006 is finally going to receive his money. Robert Miles brought his ticket from a local convenience store back in 2006 as per reports by Syracuse.com.
The two sons of the store owners convinced him that his ticket was worth only 5000 dollars and they paid him 4000 for it. The brothers didn’t claim the jackpot until 2012 and this led to an investigation because their move looked suspicious.
After the brothers claimed the lottery, Miles came forward as he wanted a part of the lottery too. The lottery officials have filed an investigation because it is unusual that the brothers would wait for such a long time before claiming their money.
Miles admitted in the court that he let the ticket slip because he was a drug addict at that time and the addiction to crack cocaine prevented him from taking any action. As per reports by Syracause.com, Miles is extremely elated that he is finally getting back the money that he legally deserves.
Andy Ashkar, one of the culprits in the case was recently caught possessing stolen property with regards to a scam related to lottery cases and has been sentenced to 25 years in prison. This incident shows that not just turnkey casino but even in the field of lottery and gambling, there are huge scam cases as people are always looking to plunder money so that they can serve their own interests. Thanks to the investigation, it looks likely that Miles will get has justified amount.
