Finders weepers, losers keepers in lottery ticket row

‘Finders keepers, losers weepers’ — a schoolyard cry that most people take for real.

Not so, according to the case of Sharon Duncan, a woman who dumped her ‘losing’ lottery ticket that turned out to be worth $1m (€760,000).

The finder, Sharon Jones — a woman who habitually gathered discarded tickets — will have to pay the money back, according to a ruling in Arkansas.
