They should be very stringent on giving payouts to convenience store owners, however.
Does anyone else find this ridiculous that people are blaming the Texas Lottery Commission or showing them in a bad light? I do. They did exactly as they were supposed to. Someone presented a winning lottery ticket with their own signature on it, they paid the lottery. Are they supposed to do a complete recap of a person's life from the time the ticket was bought to the time the ticket is presented for every winner?
Think of it this way. If I receive a check made out to "Cash" for $5000, didn't sign it, then give it to a stranger to hold on to, and this stranger goes and cashes it at bank of america. Is it BOA's responsibility to pay me $5k as well? No, it is my responsibility to file a police report and try to recoup my money using the legal system
A winning lottery ticket is a check made out to "cash" endorse it and its yours.

I agree certain measures should be taken to avoid this, like making it illegal for idiots to ask for their tickets to be checked, that way this specific situation would never happen again.
Meanwhile, doesn't Willis Willis sound like a great name for an 80's band?
