Welcome
We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!
The Rules
Posts must be:
- Links to news stories from...
- ...credible sources, with...
- ...their original headlines, that...
- ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”
Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.
And that’s basically it!

Surely the lottery could tell him?
It's part of the security test to make sure you are the actual owner of the ticket.
Where I live, there's place on the lottery ticket for you to fill in your name, ID number, and phone number.
If you leave it blank and lost the ticket, then whoever posses the ticket have legal claim to the price.
Looks like they asked him as a method of identity verification.
