slot jackpot not mine but IRS is after me for it

I was just hit by the IRS for money for a 15000 jackpot that was hit in 2017 on my players card. This is not my jackpot and suspect someone used my card. Yes in the past I have left a card in a machine a few times. I suspect someone used the card and hit the jackpot and the attendent simply used the card to generate a w2g. Imagine the person did this had quite the laugh but this is getting to be a pain in the ass. The Casino does not get id at the time the jackpot is hit and simply takes the id information off the players card account to issue the w29. Help.

This can't possibly be true. Two pieces of ID are needed... so even if you say they used the player's card, a second one would be needed and the discrepancy in names would be noted.

It shouldn't have happened, but I wouldn't say it's impossible. The Sands in AC once paid my friend whose only id was a library card with no picture on it. It could have been anyone's.

Technically wouldn't this be a case of stolen identity, or some kind of fraud? Maybe file a police report? That might help your case....

I suppose we could go on discussing poli-ticks.

At least the grasshopper invasion is based on some facts.

What would you rather his first post be about?

Well the reason I am posting this issue is I do not know how to deal with this. Perhaps this will help. I have gone back to the Casino and requested a copy of the w2g that was signed at the time the jackpot was paid. They said this was two years ago and they do not have a surveillance tape nor have they been able to locate the signed copy. I play at this Casino regularly and know they never ask for an id at least from me when I hit a jackpot. They simply take the players card and generate a w2g from information given to them at the time the account was created. Thanks,

If therw is no signed copy maybe you should go to the IRS and demand evidence of the win as submitted by the casino.

This whole thing does sound fishy to me. A casino that doesnt verify ID and doesn't properly keep records?
