Why doesn't this fall under "unclaimed asset" laws
This has been an ongoing story, but why is this type of ticket not considered an "unclaimed asset", presuming a players card was used, and thus treated as such? (Or maybe the answer is in the article)
Since casinos commonly trace tickets and rightful owners (and wrongful claimants), why would the state, or the casino for that matter escape the unclaimed asset law. I could completely understand if no rightful owner could be determined, but again, casinos trace tickets all the time.

edited to add, if I remember now, an unclaimed asset has to meet a minimum of $25 or so, maybe more, maybe less.............but we are talkin' Vegas so not all these throwaway tickets are for pennies......
