Q: I have some friends from out of the country. They’ve raised money for charity and want to donate to American charities.

It might depend on why they can't do that. If it is because of laws in their country prohibit them from doing so, doing it through a third-party might be seen as the same thing for all intents and purposes.

There is no right to be compensated. That is something that you should discuss with your family. There are civil torts that address unjust enrichment that might provide you with some legal support. However, your compensation for any investment/labor/expenses should have been made clear beforehand.

I don’t practice in Oklahoma, but your question remains open for 5 weeks. Tickets in general do provide a place to enter the name of the holder, but it is usually a separate field than where the numbers appear. You could check with the store that sold you the ticket and the gaming commission in... View More

Unfortunately, 9/9/2013 has already passed. The statute of limitations for most claims in Oklahoma is two years. It is shorter for some things and longer for others. You should consult with an attorney who, with the details, can help you determine if your claim is viable.
