A store employee habitually ripped lottery tickets after checking them with the lottery terminal. Lottery commissioners deliberated over the case of Paul Marshall, who came forward to collect his prize even though a store employee had torn his winning ticket to shreds. The tearing incident occurred when Marshall returned to the store he bought the winning ticket from to validate it. Fortunately for Marshall, lottery officials were able to "reconstruct what happened," Chuck Taylor, the lottery director of legal affairs and compliance, said, according to the Lottery Post's reporting on the meeting.

Emily Irwin, who works for Wells Fargo Bank, advises lottery winners on how to invest their money. Without any guidance, it can be easy to make bad decisions and blow it all, she told Insider. These are her tips for what lottery winners should do to protect their winnings. We want to make sure that lottery winners protect themselves from having to start all over again and avoid that feeling of going through the process of losing everything.

Emily Irwin, who works for Wells Fargo Bank, advises lottery winners on how to spend their money. She told Insider that people don't realize that winners are given very little support or guidance. First off, the lottery won't tell you whether to take the money as a lump sum or an annuity. To do this, start by assembling a trusted team of advisors, as the lottery won't provide one for you. Similarly, lottery winners shouldn't suddenly find themselves in the Olympics without proper training.
