- I won $1000 from a radio station in Los Angeles, but they're trying not
- to pay it off. They say that I also won some amusement park tickets 19
- days earlier (which I did), and they have a rule about winning only once
- in 30 days. When I won, they didn't say anything about this and just
- said to expect the check in 6-8 weeks. When I didn't hear anything I
- called them and got this story. Are they breaking any laws by not paying?
- Any relevant cases that I should know about? There was a case of a
- California Lottery contestant who was declared a winner of some big prize,
- and then the ball bounced into a smaller prize. He sued the Lottery
- Commission and won, I think. Does anyone remember that case? I think it
- may be relevant to my situation.
