I got into a discussion with a few people at a restaurant bar last night regarding this. Half said, if you find it---it's yours. The other half said----give it back. (I'd like to see some of THESE people give it back...)

If the ticket were to fall out of someones purse accidently and it was a winner, I would definitely give it back. If they deliberately threw the ticket away--oh well--it's mine now. I made the effort to dig in the trash for it, so I guess I will keep it. If some bum digs in your trash and finds a nice leather wallet it is his. So I would be the bum digging in the trash for a lotto ticket!

Was it the clerk that told him it wasn't a winner??????
As for me it would depend on the circumstances

It was the buyer who assumed it was no good and threw it away.

The garbage can is not a safe deposit box.
The act of throwing the ticket way is "abandonment of property," and if you pick something out of the garbage it is yours by rights of salvage.
How is that guy going to prove that the ticket was his? I'm pretty certain it was mine...
I can see it now - a league of do-gooders hauling all sorts of stuff out of garbage cans and pursuing the previous owner, calling out
"Good Sir! Good Sir! You inadvertently abandoned your used and drippy wet snot rag!"
or
"Madam, I believe this empty Starbucks cup is yours."
