Court hears arguments on $559M lottery winner's plea to remain anonymousReply
Tough call (imho). I more than understand the rules and they are crystal clear on making the claim. For her personal safety, I am all for that 110%. I believe ,like all of us, we have heard sign the back of your ticket for years and years. Those of us that post on here, know undoubtedly, that with this massive win requires discretion, professional legal guidance and sound decision making prior to making the claim. I was a bit curious about safety tips that the lottery posts on the TEXAS

Cheated winner wants Texas Lottery to pay upReply
And that's my point, the Texas Lottery is responsible regardless of who sells or cashes their tickets. If we were talking about a defect with a ticket or an injury caused by a defective ticket you'd be correct. Maybe you understand that the issue over the coffee was a product liability case? There was nothing wrong with the lottery ticket in question. It was a legitimate winner, and the lottery paid the prize in good faith. I expect that nobody would be arguing that the lottery is responsib

$111 million EuroMillions jackpot won in IrelandReply
Hi Skibunnylk, my comment wasn't about an Ireland Legal Citizen's Income Taxes. Just their way higher 40% Savings Interest/Dividends Taxes. Anyhow, in regards to Ireland's Legal Citizen Income Taxes, at 51% Income Tax Rate, they still pay more than 95% of U.S. of A. Legal Citizen Income Tax payers. I don't know if Ireland Residents (legal, illegal or visa) additionally pay a Sales Tax and Food Tax when purchasing items at a local store. Cheers mate!

UPDATE: Florida winner whose ticket was lost in mail gets her prizeReply
I find it hard to believe that Florida Lottery is telling the truth. They knew the winner had enough compelling evidence and was undoubtedly entitled to the second chance winnings but had no legal way to pay her so they made up, Oh, we have the ticket after all , to bring about a just, but non-legal result. $1,000 is a small price to pay to avoid the negative backlash as well as screw a rightful winner. I believe- as another has indicated- that a postal employee stole the envelope, realized they

S.C. may ban illegal aliens from claiming lottery prizesReply
I agree w/Tom. It's exactly like someone breaking into your store and you saying, Well they got in, they might as well take something . This whole thing comes down to LEGAL vs ILLEGAL. Legal = get your win, Illegal = oh well . And besides, good for them if anyone from another country wins IF THEY'RE LEGAL. But if they skirted the rules and then win what may have been my win, that makes me really mad. Just do it by the books! I'm an American, born, bred and loyal. I have to obey the law - they
