The twin boy that was supposed to hit the shot bought the raffle ticket for a charitible event. Because he was ill, his twin brother stepped in to make the shot. The father admitted the next morning that the other twin made the shot. The ruling? $50,000 winning prize was not paid to this family. Would you have just kept this whole thing quiet? Remember: $50,000 at stake here.

This would be so white of a lie that it wouldn't even qualify. The pinch-hitting twin didn't steal the winning ticket, he merely relieved his ailing brother of the phisically-challenging obligation. I'm sure he figured it was unlikely to turn out the way it did. Not unlike buying a lottery ticket. There was no meticulously planned conspiracy at work. Just a luck shot. Good for him. And tough luck to Lloyds Insurance for having to cough up the dough...well...almost... Don't think for a minute that the insurer disqualified the winner on moral grounds. Any excuse would do it.
Moral of the story: Nice guys finish last.
