A New Mexico man has spoken of his anger after buying what appeared to be a winning lottery ticket worth more than $500,000 - only for officials to claim it was a misprint and refuse to honor it. 美国新墨西哥州一名男子买了一张彩票并且中了50多万美元，可结果却是兑奖方说这张彩票印错了，拒绝为其兑换。 John Wines, who has recently retired, bought the New Mexico Lottery scratcher - featuring the winning numbers '1' and '2' - from a Shell gas station in Roswell, Chaves County, in December. 已经退休的约翰·瓦恩斯于去年12月在新墨西哥州罗斯韦尔的壳牌加油站买了一张彩票，显示号码上有得奖数字1和2。。 As he started scratching, he was stunned to come across two '1s' - both of which were worth $250,000. He later uncovered another '1' ($75) and two further '2s' ($500 and $50 respectively). 当他开始刮的时候，瓦恩斯看到号码上有两个1，每个1都能领取25万美元的奖金。他接着刮的时候又刮开了另一个1（奖金75美元），以及两个2（奖金分别是500与50美元）。 Assuming that the scratcher's stated maximum prize of $250,000 was wrong, a delighted Mr Wines returned to the gas station to collect his winnings. However, he was told he had not won anything. 这让瓦恩斯还以为新墨西哥州的最高奖金不只是25万美元，于是兴冲冲地跑到加油站去兑换自己的大奖。但他被告知他根本什么都没中。 |
