My questions are :
Do you think it's worth the wait, he's getting 6% interest per annum but he still has to pay a lot of money and suffers a lot even to the point of having a rift with his daughter
Will you do the same thing and fight for your rights to claim the prize
I'm sorry, but I'm going to write here without being aware of the whole subject...
I'm not sure if this case dragged on for so long because it was not possible to prove the authenticity of the winning ticket or if there really was a lack of will and effort to recognize the winning ticket by other means.
Here in my country the law is very clear: the winning ticket cannot have erasures, tears or any defect that prevents the recognition of all the registered bet information. This is enough to result in the loss of a case for anyone trying to take legal action against the Brazilian lottery.
Anyway... apart from this case of "merit", I see that this bettor was indeed very persistent and audacious in betting a lot of what he still had in the hope of being able to win this case.
I'm happy for him and I hope he can make up for every penny and lost time, because 9 years of waiting is a long time.
