Cyber attack affects New Hampshire Lottery websiteNews Story
Lottery recommends steps for players to protect themselves By Kate Northrop The New Hampshire Lottery experienced a cyber attack that forced their website offline for nearly a day. On Thursday, August 25, a cyber attack impacted the NHiLottery website (NHLottery.com) after Lottery officials elected to bring it offline while they worked through security details. At around 9:30 am on the morning of Friday, August 26, the Lottery announced that their third-party hosting provider had

New bill in Wisconsin could allow some lottery winners to remain anonymousReply
Protecting Social Security #, give me a break. That has been in effect that I know of Federally since 1974. Many years ago my hospital employer would print out the hours an individual worked. It included your SSAN for anyone to dig through the pile to see. Yearly we had surveys to fill out which were anonymous. Said in mine if someone steals mine in violation of Federal law and I'd sue. Well they quickly gave everyone an AHS # to use and no more SSAN used. Fast forward two visits ago goi

$925 MILLION: Powerball lottery jackpot nears billion-dollar milestoneReply
I think you are confusing the profit made from selling an asset called Capital Gains from interest earned from T.Bills and bonds. If you hold an asset for more than one year, the profit earned from disposing the same after one year (capital gains) are taxed at a max of 20% For T.Bill and Bonds, the interest paid out is treated as normal income and are Federally taxed as such up to 37% max. The same however are exempt from both State and Local Income tax. Municipal bonds are another o

$70 million Canada Lotto Max jackpot-winning ticket expiresReply
Did you read the article? While the winner may never see their $70 million prize, the awareness campaign resulted in over 1,100 calls to OLG's Customer Care Center with people claiming to have lost the ticket, the Lottery said. However, the Lottery is carefully considering each and every claim, meaning there might yet be a flicker of hope that one of those callers may be the real winner. and.. unclaimed prizes (not just jackpots) are returned to the pool (not handed over to the gove

VIDEO: May's Weekly Roundup in lottery newsReply
I believe it is not the state's job to hunt down lottery winners. If a person takes the time and money to buy a ticket, it shouldn't be that hard to go online and check the ticket. Only takes a minute and a couple of clicks. Can't speak for all states, but Tx Lottery does not keep unclaimed money. Unclaimed prizes revert back to the state for programs authorized by the Texas Legislature, including the Foundation School Fund and Fund for Veterans' Assistance , which are the primary benefi

Americans gamble over half a trillion dollars illegally each year, AGA Report saysReply
Call me what you want but I say GOOD. The casinos are trying to get the IRS to raise the taxable limit from $1200 to $5K on slot winnings. Yet the debacle continues with lottery winnings taxed @ anything over $600. Makes a lot of sense doesn't it? The US Government should abolish the 1962 law forbidding sports betting/lottery sales across state lines. IGT did win their case for sports betting though. Boat loads of cash for the US Treasury because folks are going to gamble be i

Despite sales influx from $2B Powerball, Massachusetts Lottery ticket sales falterReply
Not too surprised nor do I care. They opted to have the subscription service center moved from Braintree, MA to Atlanta. The fees for the few games out of staters can play went up too much. They no longer allow subscription ticket sales @ retail stores. Years ago had written a letter to the Treasurer over the lottery suggesting they offer on-line sales and @ that time what games KY could play that way. As I said before no reply ever sent. To non-MA residents (my home state) bear in m

"Lottery Lawyer" Jason Kurland sentenced to prison after defrauding winners of over $100 millionReply
Kurland was also sentenced to three years of supervised release. Supervised release is different than probation or parole as it's served after a defendant is released from prison and is supervised by a probation officer. If he violates the terms/conditions of his supervised release he can be sent back to prison to serve the remaining time of his supervised release. What will his quality of life be like after he's released? Because he wont have much money, it wont be very good and certai

And we let them do this to us? WHY? The recent winner o
