The hunt is on for a mystery man who hit the jackpot.

Surveillance video captured this unidentified man cashing in after scratching off a straight flush on a Wild West lottery ticket. His prize? $75,000!

But the clerk behind the counter in the Palmdale, California, gas station initially read the prize incorrectly, giving the man just $75.

Ouch! Should give $75,000 to man but he left. He will be back to counter if he will hear about news. I think that he had signed his name of card.
 
ooooo thats bad! Wondering if there is history occurs with that lottery place? Why inspector pay visitation there?

Now the question is, Its honest mistake or scam? Like I said in other thread, its very difficult to prove true intention.
 
California has had it's troubles with dealers giving the winner less than they have won and then claiming the prize for themselves. A friend of mine who works for the Lottery said most locations have video and most of the crooks are easy to catch because they are too stupid to realize they are on camera too and not to mention the ones who try to redeem winning tickets several times a year.
