Virginia man buys 40 identical lottery tickets, wins $200,000 in Pick 4 gameReply
VA website and this article throws your theory out with the tub water. Nowhere in either article does it say 'he's been playing for a while.' He was one and done. Adios.

Todd a well written article. Had forgotten all about this drawing until the article was read and media coverage of that small town. Does sound like locals which makes this huge win even better news IMHO.

Don't know what article you read, but Todd et al wrote this very well and the issue was clear to me. Later as the article said more information will follow. How more transparent could IGT/NJ lottery be?

It's a common Internet thing (tagged news stories/searching by tag), so not really something I've focused on a help article about. Here's a Wikipedia article that describes tags: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tag_(metadata)

The key to this article is the phrase british media if you know what that stands for, it would never have gotten to be an article here on LP. Every lottery have people who complaints.

Mom, son admit they plotted to kill man over his winning lottery ticketReply
Given the lack of information in that article we're lucky we even know who pled guilty to what. Everyone is free to make assumptions, but the article doesn't even say that the mother told the son about the ticket or suggested any kind of plan to steal the ticket. The reasonable guess about why the mother only pled guilty to a robbery charge is that the prosecution didn't think they had a strong enough case to get a conviction for something that would have gotten her a longer sentence.

20 co-workers to split $421M Powerball jackpotReply
The article says they'll be taking home about $12.7 million each. That implies that's it's the net after taxes (or at least withholding), which makes the article wrong. There's no state income tax, but they'll be subject to the usual 25% withholding for federal taxes, so each should initially collect about $9.5 million. What they'll actually end up with will depend on their specific situation and whether or not the top bracket for 2017 remains at 39.6%.

British Columbia Lottery taking bets on US electionReply
Read the article in Breitbart by Milo. Brlliant. Trump out flanked Dems on gay rights, etc. I think Trump's plan is brilliant. The article sums things up wonderfully.

How did I go off on a tangent? I'm talking about the article that started the thread. The link I posted is for RD's Deli and Market in Melrose, Massachusetts, the same store that is talked about in the article.
