Ang Mo Man sues S'pore Pools

[MarrickG]

A MAN has sued Singapore Pools for what he claims is his prize money of $930,000.

Mr John Berchmans alleges that he should have received $10,000 for each of his 93 Scratchit! cards which had three identical symbols in the game panel.

He filed the suit in the High Court in June but served the writ on the lottery operator only on Monday.

In court papers, he claimed that he had been induced to buy the cards based on representations made by Singapore Pools.

He alleged it was represented that so long as he had at least three identical numbers or symbols in the panel either horizontally, vertically or diagonally, he would automatically be entitled to the top prize of $10,000.

Mr Berchmans claimed that based on these representations, he went to a convenience store in Eunos and bought 93 Scratchit! cards.

Nice, but someone should tell him things work differently here compared tothe US

 

[Internet Brigade]

Nice try. Might work in the US but not in Singapore.

I hope Sg pools lengthen the court case 1-2yrs then win the case.

Let that bugger pays the lawyer fees... till siao !!!

If any of you thinks this Ang Mo can win, go and buy the scratchit cards. Once he wins the case, you guys can do your claims too. :p

 

[Spock]

I think I would also like to sue all the hawker stalls, McDonalds, Burger King and many other food outlets for misrepresentation. What I get served seldom looks anything like what is displayed on the signboard or menu. :(

Maybe singapore pools will settle this case by paying the man $9.30.

One man up against a family of lawyers, the verdict is obvious, he'll scratching his heads and ball.
