Is is still pretty unclear to what has actually happened. The are no solid clues here. But even if the card was stolen for real and was used for the ticket purchase, why they should have paid the prize? You find this right? Cause i dont. They are not doing anything wrong.

Some players try to win at the lottery modest amounts as is my case and are not successful. Others buy tickets and earn impressive amounts, but they did not have the brain and they will be left with no money because of the stolen card. Yesterday i played 20 tickets and not luck for me.

It is a big story, plus a company that doesnt fooling around.. I believe if everything proves to be ok, they will pay the money. They cant do otherwise. Imagine what will happen if they dont. It is going to be very bad business for them. And the sure thing is, that these companies, always make money. So what is the point of not paying ? It will just hurt them.

I deposited with Skrill and i do not have a problem with that. My problem is that: i need to win first and then i see if they want to give me the prize or not. Sometimes there is an excuse not to give you the money but not always. Anyway my prizes are small.
