California couple face felony charges for stealing $135 worth of Iowa Lottery ticketsReply
My question is, were they only able to get the scratch off tickets that lay loose at the bottom of the lottery kiosk machine, once opened. It is odd that they were only able to get scratch tickets totaling $135. All that trouble for that small amount of money.

They don't even look like your typical methheads. Wonder what their story was... We were just trying to get gas money to go home.

Wow. You are greedy. $2 million even before taxes is life changing for people. If it isn't, they didn't need the money anyway.

$1 million winning Powerball lottery ticket bought in Texas will expire in a weekReply
That would great to have a raffle for all the unclaimed prize money. It would be nice to have at least 20 to 50 winners splitting the prize.

$1 million winning Powerball lottery ticket bought in Texas will expire in a weekReply
Yes I think about the first double play winner never claimed the $10M prize in Maryland. It would be cool if they did a raffle or something with the unclaimed money.

$1 million winning Powerball lottery ticket bought in Texas will expire in a weekReply
These expiring lottery tickets seem to have become a common thing now. I wonder how much money in total does these expired lottery tickets add up to be. Most likely in the billion dollar range over these years.

Florida LLC revealed to have claimed $1.6 billion Mega Millions lottery jackpotReply
Should I ever win big and can claim anonymously, I am adding to my checklist the following: I need the name of the lottery official who is responsible for maintaining my anonymity. And I would tell the lottery official, you think I won big now, guess how much money I will be seeking if you breach your anonymity guarantee. Lol

Virginia man who won $1,000 a week lottery prize in Cash4Life says it's just "good"Reply
I don't think most people understand how an annuity works. It is believed that if the state goes bankrupt then their lottery annuity will disappear. Also, no matter how old a lottery winner is, there is NO guarantee the person will live long enough to collect all the years of the annuity which ends in 20 years. Also a lottery winner only gets their annuity payment once a year. Most people want to regulate their own money instead of having it dished out yearly.

Hoosier Lottery Commission votes to approve $50,000 prize claim to winner whose ticket was ripped upReply
The lottery officials that paid the guy who won 50K on a torn up lottery ticket. Why was the receipt of his winning ticket the only proof he need to get his money. Why did the clerk not give the guy the torn up pieces of lottery ticket so he could also take that in lottery officials as proof?

Scotland's £148M EuroMillions lottery winner no longer speaking to family after giving them £20MReply
I am so glad that I live in a State that allows one to collect their winnings anonymously without even having to set up a Trust etc. I think people normally have good intentions when they tell family and relatives and close friends about their winnings. Unfortunately, you cannot tell how someone will react until after the fact. So suddenly a loving spouse or partner can become this nightmare of a person. The great uncle or great aunt can turn into something else. Friends and even kid
