An American won a large sum in the lottery but was unable to pay it back

When a lottery winner tried to cash a check, she ran into a problem.

A resident of the American city of Des Moines (Iowa) won the lottery, but was left without money, as the bank refused to cash out her prize.

It is reported by the Des Moines Register.

Veronica Cruz, 33, decided to buy some instant lottery tickets after her shift. One of them brought her a big win — 100 thousand dollars. She couldn’t believe her luck and rescanned the ticket with her mobile phone.

After receiving repeated confirmation, the woman woke the children and told them the good news. When a lottery winner tried to cash a check for her winnings, she ran into a problem. Chase Bank considered her appeal a fraudulent operation and froze the account. In addition, her debit card was cancelled.

Although the organizers of the lottery confirmed the legality of the check and published the news about the winner on their social networks, the bank has still not agreed to cash it.

A spokeswoman for the lottery said that delaying a large win due to careful checking of a check is standard procedure, but this is the first time this has happened.

If the bank never cashed the check, Cruz would have to go to lottery headquarters to cancel it and issue a new one, then open an account with another bank and wait for the check to be cashed again.

The Cursor wrote earlier that the winner of the Powerball lottery bought a ticket in a Bennet Springs store and did not know about his winnings for several weeks. The man told reporters that he bought a ticket just a few hours before the draw, and then simply forgot about it.
