Roy Green - Sun Feb 1 - Joel Ifergan

His name is Joel Ifergan. He's a Montreal accountant who bought two quick-pick lottery tickets in 2008 and bought them before the 9pm deadline for that specific week's draw. Lotto Quebec machines take extra time to register a ticket and one of his tickets, which had all the correct numbers, was issued for the following week because the Lotto Quebec machine spewed it out 7 seconds after the 9pm deadline. Each court, including the Supreme Court of Canada (which refused to hear his case this week) ruled against Joel Ifergan. His legal bills now $100,000. Guest: Joel Ifergan. He's $13 million, plus $100,000 in legal fees poorer.
