Circle K Manager vs $12.8M Lottery Ticket | Phoenix News

A Phoenix Circle K manager is locked in a $12.8 million lottery ticket showdown after buying unsold tickets left behind by a customer — only to be fired months later for allegedly violating policy. The manager claims he followed company rules, even consulting his supervisor, and turned the winning ticket over to the store, agreeing to split winnings with the clerk. Now, his lawyer says he’s not after the cash — just trying to clear his name. The Arizona Lottery holds the prize in an interest-bearing account, and a judge has ruled there’s no statute of limitations, leaving the court to decide who truly owns the jackpot.
