The Sad Story Of Generous Lottery Winner Who Accidentally Gave Away A Quarter-Million Dollar Scratch Off Ticket To Beggar

I don't believe her one bit. I often give away lottery tickets as gifts, and I think that's what she did here along with the money. According to another report, she gave both men lottery tickets, which suggests that it was no accident.

Emily Leach, who won a million-dollar jackpot in California in 2012, said she was hoping to fight the state lottery's decision stopping her from collecting a second jackpot of $260,000. Those winnings that came from a ticket Leach has famously claimed she accidentally gave away to a stranger who was begging her for help at a Mountain View, Calif. convenience store. She said that the man pressured her and took advantage of her generosity. So whose ticket was it?
