"Indiana Man's Shredded $50,000 Powerball Ticket Redeemed"

The Hoosier Lottery Commission approved a $50,000 prize claim for a man whose winning Powerball ticket was torn up by a store clerk, after confirming his story with video surveillance footage. However, the commission denied a $500 prize claim for a woman who had shared a photo of her winning scratch-off ticket on Facebook, as someone else cashed it out before she could claim it herself. The commission cited the lack of evidence and the inability to pay the prize twice as reasons for the denial.
