No way the loss is that high.
According to the article, the draw was in January (I'm assuming 09 cause it doesn't say) so regarding the September date, someone's wrong here. Also, I don't know about the Super 7, but don't most lotteries either offer a much smaller lump sum payment or a payment plan for the full amount over several years? So the full 17 million wouldn't be earning him interest anyway. Anyone here that has won the Super 7 jackpot care to clarify how their payouts work?
Either way, its a crying shame what they're doing to this poor, unfortunate soul. I suggest we take up a collection to help this guy out.
