TLDR: A glitch on the website showed test numbers. The ones drawn earlier in the week on live tv weren’t the numbers shown on the website for a couple of hours.
IMHO: Dude’s gonna lose his lawsuit because of the live drawing.
Depends on how much the guy did in reasonable expectation of having won.
Like if he quit his job thinking he could retire it'd be rash but not unreasonable for a lottery winner.
Quitting your job before getting any actual money would be a total Chad move. Now he would have to Larry David his way back in by just showing up back at with like nothing happened.
That's what a lot of people have done. It was also up for three days so it's not unreasonable.
