Judge hears dispute over $100,000 lottery ticket

Friday, May 13, 2005 | 9:20 a.m.

INDIANAPOLIS -- An administrative law judge is considering the claim by two Shelby County men that they are the rightful owners of a $100,000 lottery ticket that was tossed in the trash.

Judge Gregg Henry said he would rule within two months after hearing 6 1/2 hours of testimony Wednesday. Ownership of the ticket has been in dispute as it was put into a trash can at the Chaperral Cafe in Shelbyville on Feb. 8 after a clerk told Ron Douglas and Ron Vinson that the $5 ticket was not the $40 winner they were hoping it was.

Customer Karrie Jeremiah said she then retrieved the ticket, planning to enter it into a second-chance drawing before later finding out it was a big winner.
