$1.5 billion Mega Millions winner explains how "Lottery Lawyer" Jason Kurland stole $83 millionReply
Agreed. A lot does depend upon the type of lawyer involved. The winners husband could possibly have a specialized practice and limited it to for instance to Real Estate. If that's the case then it wouldn't be unusual for them to feel the need to hire an attorney with a different specialization. Why not hire a lawyer that bills himself as a Lottery lawyer ? I'm sure Jason Kurland is as professional looking and sounding as can be, and his legal credentials are legitimate. But it's also th

Trial begins for "Lottery Lawyer" Jason Kurland; claims he is as much of a victim as lottery winnersReply
What many wealthy people do is hire something that most non-wealthy people have never heard of. They hire a Family Office . This is what a high net-worth individual can expect from a Family Office; Family offices provide a broad spectrum of private wealth management services to one or a small number of high-net-worth families.

New Jersey Lottery will begin selling tickets onlineReply
I have a huge s--t eating grin reading this just now. Todd Kate...thought of you guys IMMEDIATELY and perhaps all your stories about buying on-line in other states woke them up a bit.

Massachusetts store clerk indicted after stealing lottery ticket worth $3 million from customerReply
All states are different. Based on what I know about the California Lottery and what I have read, I think even under this scenario the CA Lottery would not pay the claimant. There's a precedent of going out of their way to find the original owner. I agree these are interesting hypothetical scenarios to discuss. For all this talk of bearer instruments, here is the exact legal verbiage on the back of a CA Lottery draw ticket (as of a week ago when I purchased this loser): Your ticket, not

Texas Legislature proposes bill to block online lottery courier servicesReply
no more giving lottery tickets as birthday and Christmas presents. And don't forget asking someone to purchase tickets for you and pools. I think the bit about face to face transactions is either intentional (moralistic?) BS propaganda or stupidity. There doesn't appear to be any intent for the bill to require that sales are made to the actual player who will own the ticket, and it will still be perfectly legal to buy a ticket for somebody else. What would become illegal certain methods for
