New video of alleged ethnic intimidation incident involving Ohio Congressman Max Miller According to the release, Corcoran initially bought a ticket for seven Powerball drawings, but mistakenly thought the final drawing on that ticket had already occurred. He then purchased another multi-draw ticket that also included the July 9 drawing, the Massachusetts Lottery reported. Both of Corcoran's tickets matched all five white balls drawn that night, 5, 9, 25, 28, 69 and red Powerball 5. Corcoran claimed his two prizes at the Massachusetts State Lottery's Dorchester headquarters on July 11. I-Team: Money for Browns — so what about money for Cavs or Guardians?

I-Team: A $100,000 unclaimed funds nightmare
(WJW) — The FOX 8 I-Team has uncovered a big mystery surrounding a local man's attempt to collect savings bonds worth $100,000 through the state's unclaimed funds system. Everyone's talking about unclaimed funds, since lawmakers approved $600 million from that account to help the Cleveland Browns build a dome. Man wins 2 separate $1M lottery prizes after accidentally buying extra ticket But this case shows the frustration of some people saying they have trouble getting through unclaimed funds red tape. 'And, you know, are we ever gonna get this resolved, or is it something you've just got to forget about?' said Sam Tamburrino. 'They just tell you, 'You gotta call back in a month.'' Last year, Tamburrino, a local businessman, had his lawyer file a claim, trying to collect about $100,000 in U.S. Savings Bonds left behind in a safe deposit box after Tamburrino's mom and dad passed away. But, after all this time — nothing from the state. We watched as attorney Ed Hargate and Tamburrino called about their unclaimed funds, and we saw why they're frustrated. We heard Hargate say, 'I'm talking about the $100,000 in U.S. Savings Bonds.' And, 'So, when is it gonna be processed? When are you guys gonna have it?' And, 'It's not a different claim. It's not a different claim.' He told us, 'Every time I talk to them, 90% of the time it's not part of the claim, they tell me. And I tell them, 'I'm holding the claim in my hand.'' Since lawmakers approved unclaimed funds for the Browns, the state has been swamped with more people asking about unclaimed funds in their name. Last month, the state told us it is getting more people money more quickly. Yet we still hear complaints about red tape. Remember — Sam's case goes back to last year. Last month we spoke to Susie Wagner from the Ohio Department of Commerce, and we asked, 'Why do we still hear so many complaints from people saying, 'I can't get my money'?' Wagner said, 'We're administrators of the law, and we have to make sure it goes to the rightful owner.' Tamburrino also said, 'I think you need a new system.' I-Team: Investigation underway after fleeing suspect struck by Butler employee For this story, Mikaela Hunt, chief communications officer for the Department of Commerce, released a statement that said, in part: It's important to note in general that while some unclaimed funds are rather straightforward to process, there are occasions in which more complex scenarios, often times involving deceased individuals, may result in a delay of processing while we verify the legitimacy of the claimant's identity. Legal requirements necessitate specific documentation, and we are committed to preventing fraudulent claims. We deeply appreciate the family's patience and understanding during this process and your bringing this to our attention so we can make sure the family receives their rightly owned funds and property as soon as possible. Adding to the mystery, Tamburrino has been sorting through confusion between what was left in the bank safe deposit box and what was turned over to the state. We will update this story on FOX 8 and Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved. This material may not be published, broadcast, rewritten, or redistributed. Solve the daily Crossword
