B.C. Court of Appeal dismisses lawsuit over $50M lottery jackpot awarded in 2015
VANCOUVER — A British Columbia man has lost an appeal to pursue a lawsuit claiming his right to a $50 million lottery prize.
A B.C. Supreme Court judge dismissed George Wilson-Tagoe’s case last September, saying there was no evidence he bought the winning ticket for the March 2014 Lotto Max draw.
Wilson-Tagoe appealed the decision, saying the case should have been decided at trial and not through a summary judgment.
The B.C. Court of Appeal released a decision last week dismissing the appeal, with the three-judge panel saying there is no reason for the court to intervene in the case.
