Lotto player won $500,000 jackpot but lottery refused to pay out saying it's a MISPRINT

A regular lottery player bought a scratch-off and was surprised to find that he won the grand prize - a $500,000 jackpot, but when he tried to claim it from the company, they said it was a misprint, and he wasn't a winner after all.

John Wines bought the $20 Ruby 7's scratch-off ticket from a Roswell, New Mexico gas station, and assumed he won big as the ticket appeared to show two prizes of $250,000, a $75 reward and one for $50.

When he went back to the grocery store, the clerk scanned it and said it came up as 'not a winner.'
