If you buy a ticket and take a picture on your phone and for some reason you lose your ticket, is it still valid if you show them the picture on your phone ?

thanks.
 
Ask the OLG. I think you must have the original ticket and that it's signed. Otherwise you may have to go to great lenghts to prove that you actaully bought the ticket.
 
Even if a person does have a winning ticket, the OLG will investigate if whether that person is the rightful owner of that ticket.
 
Just buy ticket with a CC...they will keep the transaction on record so if you still lose the ticket it should be fine.
 
I would think that the picture is enough as long as you can answer their questions.
They might want you to wait a year to make sure someone doesn't show up with the ticket and dispute your claim.
They could also check videos for confirmation.
 
If you lose your ticket you still can claim the winnings . As long as you answer a few simple questions like where you bought it . City , store , day and around the time of purchase . If you lost that ticket and someone found it and turned it in they will not be able to answer any of those questions .

It's like finding a bag of money that fell out of a Brinks truck . Just because you found it doesn't make it yours and you can't keep it .

Where can I get a wager down on the person finding an unsigned, large jackpot-winning lotto ticket being the one who is awarded the jackpot in the courts???
