Man loses winning Derby ticket

02:04 PM EDT on Monday, May 9, 2005

An Arizona man says he hit the superfecta on Kentucky Derby long shot Giacomo, worth almost $900,000. Problem is, he can't find his ticket.

Phoenix firefighter Chris Hertzog says he put his money on Giacomo but now he says he can't find the ticket that's worth $890,000.

"I was just going through the tickets and I must have misplaced it and it came up a winner,” he says.

The track confirms it sold the winning ticket. Hertzog says he bought it in a block of 100 tickets, and the woman who sold him the ticket verifies his story.

But collecting the winnings without that ticket could be a long shot.
