Legal Question in Civil Litigation in New York

Possible fraud??

I live in NYC and I was playing a scratch off game sponsored by a popular phone company and I played correctly and thought I lost and was about to throw away my card...not really caring. I decided to scratch off the other choices under each question (4 questions, 4 choices per question) to feed my curiosity and to see where the right answers laid. Upon scratching, I realize that 3 of the 4 questions contain NO possible correct answer eliminating ANY and ALL chances of winning up to 2 million dollars...if the correct answers were listed and I chose correctly. I tried to go to the rules page on the website suggested and it says the pge is invalid. The contest doesn't allow any chance at all for winning. Had their been the right answers and I just scratched off the wrong one, I wouldn''t care, I would've sucked it up as a loser. But to know I NEVER had a chance because they purposely did not include the right answers infuriates me. I tripled checked my answers and the choices given under each question and the answers listed aren't even remotely close to being correct. No matter what box you chose you were going to be wrong...how fair is that? Do I have any rights? Please help. They shouldn''t be allowed to get away with this.

Re: Possible fraud??

If you believe you are correct you can bring this to the attention of the publisher, the Department of Consumer Affairs and the N.Y.S. Attorney General's Office.
