Even if he had won $1,000, he would have to claim it at the state lottery office. Any winnings over $500.00 at least here in Ca can't be paid by the store owner. Unless they have to take it back to the place they bought it, I wouldn't go back to that store. What idiots the store owners were. They would have got a percentage of that winning ticket too.
