Mishap leads to lottery jackpot for Florida coupleReply
I would guess that the ticket was free because Publix understands customer service.

Your tax obligation arises when you have constructive possession , which generally means when you become entitled to the money. Online games are easy. If you have the right numbers your ticket becomes a winner as soon as the drawing is held, and at that moment you be

That is the complete extent of the legal weight in another state. >> I think we're just looking at it differently, rather
