A guy hangin’ on to a dream of walking away with a $63 million lottery jackpot is waking up to a sober reality today.
A judge tossed out Brandy Milliner’s lawsuit in which he alleged he was entitled to a $63 million SuperLotto Plus jackpot that state lottery officials said was never claimed by the actual winning party.
The ticket – the largest California Lottery jackpot ever forfeited -was purchased for the Aug. 8, 2015, drawing at a 7-Eleven store in Chatsworth.
Deputy Attorney General Neil Houston stated in his court papers that plaintiff Milliner’s ticket was bought miles away at another 7-Eleven store.
By examining the paper stock on Milliner’s ticket, Lottery officials determined that he bought it at a 7-Eleven store on Leimert Blvd. in Los Angeles, according to Houston’s court papers.
Further examination showed that Milliner purchased his ticket on July 10, 2015. Milliner claimed he bought the ticket at the Chatsworth 7-Eleven while in the area to pick up a friend from work the afternoon of Aug, 8, 2015. The Lottery records show the real winning ticket was actually bought at that store the morning of the day before, according to Houston’s court papers.
