no you cant sue, there usually has to be some kind of agreement, usually entailing a signature

I’ll just tell you right now, the lottery is a scam. So, from now on, you know not to throw your money at a con game. The same goes for telemarketers and television commercials.

“so, this minimum wage employee told me just before midnight that I’d definitely win the big one. I never bothered to ask if they were joking or see if I misunderstood. Clearly, it represented an official statement on behalf of the lottery that all tickets are winners…”

I guess you don’t need Simon Cowell to prove that America’s got talent after all.

Assuming he was seriously trying to deceive you for money and were stupid enough to believe him, it could be fraud.
But it is not a breach of contract because the clerk doesn’t have the authority to speak for the state lottery. He lacks capacity to enter into a contract on their behalf.

Didn’t you know that contracts mean nothing with this fascist government. They break or distort contracts every single day in this country in numbers of the millions.
