New York woman says she was winner of unclaimed $12 million Lotto jackpot from 1992Reply
Oh well..... and life goes on in the big city. We are supposed to learn from our mistakes, but still today, many people don't treat a lottery ticket like they would cash. Always protect and check your lottery tickets!

$1.05 BILLION: Mega Millions keeps rolling after no winner FridayReply
I think it's all in the way you look at it. To me, it's simply a matter of perspective. I buy lottery tickets for their entertainment value, and oh yeah, I might win some money too. I bet with my head, never over it. I dont kid myself into thinking I'll win big some day. My attitude is if I lose (which happens all the time) then I had a little fun. If I happen to be very lucky and win a significant pile of cash, then I know I'll be very very happy. I've had people roll their eyes in my face

$910 MILLION: Mega Millions lottery jackpot making another historic runReply
Hmmmm, you don't say if you are a man or woman but hiding your lottery tickets from your spouse sounds like something that a woman would do. Women win the lottery then divorce their husbands before claiming the winnings. Is that what your intentions are? justmaybe?

$900 MILLION: Powerball jackpot rises, but sales miss in last draw makes for small increaseReply
Over 10 years ago I wrote what I would clear by winning the lottery way before the jackpots were big. I haven't consistently played the lottery like I use to since the Hot Lotto fraud scandal. I chalked up me buying lottery tickets as a way to fund those sharp criminals that find a way to collect money from the poor. Since I was reminded a few times of my goal recently it gave me the urge to play again. Here I am, I will try my luck 1 more time. If it works good if not it will certainly remi

$1.08 billion Powerball lottery winner Yanira Alvarez filed claim for jackpot over five months agoReply
Do they expect someone to remember where and when he/she bought every ticket? Did you notice the part that said If details about the purchase don't line up, this could be cause for further investigation ? They expect people who won very large sums of money to remember some of the details, but if you don't they'll normally just look at it a bit more closely. There's a big difference between establishing that the claimant is the owner and establishing that the claimant isn't the owner, so unl

Six gang members arrested for stealing $50,000 worth of lottery tickets in two statesReply
What other form of lottery tickets can you steal? I suppose you could direct the machine to print out multiple quick picks.. If everything was on.. But (I assume) that would be pretty easy to catch -- ticket was sold while store was closed -- should be an easy search So.. Pretty much a meaningless crime.. Unless they manage to sell unscratched tickets to other people

It depends on your state. You could email them and ask what to do in that situation. Tickets for draw games are time stamped pretty precisely, so I don't see how you'd get away with claiming one you didn't purchase. Scratchers are iffy because they're not timestamped, but they are serial numbered. What if you bought a bunch of scratchers at a vending machine and accidentally picked up another one someone else had left behind in the receptacle? Good questions. Personally, I don't pick up lott
