More people are getting their lottery winnings back after the ABC Action News I-Team stepped in to help. The money was held up by the Department of Economic Opportunity (DEO), the state’s unemployment office, after thousands of Floridians went to collect their prize money.
“Something that was so exciting became an absolute nightmare,” Sara Magnetta told the I-Team last month. “This felt like this could hit home for a lot of people.”
Magnetta received a form at the lottery office saying she was overpaid in unemployment and owed the DEO money. Because of that, she could not collect the $1,000 prize she won.
