Should lottery winners share with colleagues?Reply
Are you crazy???!!! I take a chance with my hard earned money and another person decides to hold on to their money!!! I don't think so! I'm not particularly feeling lucky when I give up my money but I know I can't win if I don't play no matter how I feel!!! Now, unless the pool play-in money is high and the person didn't have the money, I may consider giving the legal tax amount which I think is $10,000 but everyone in the pool would have to agree and give the same amount; otherwise, you lose ju

Killer of lottery winner convictedReply
Yes this is indeed sad. But it also proves the point that not all women are good at managing money. Some men manage money well as does a smaller percentage of women. Some women blow though money as does a smaller percentage of men. Whether you agree or disagree with that is irrevelevant, but it is true. I have noticed there are more and more high profiled cases of women mismanaging money lately, whether it is featured on those investigative shows on A E or the breakup of celebrities such as Shaq

Britons go lotto loopy for £100m Euro Millions drawReply
Tax evasion? What does that have to do with claiming the lottery? In case you haven't figured it out, they have zero to do with each other. Z-E-R-O! The IRS is NOT a subset of any state Lottery. My state, New Jersey, has an obligation to withhold 25% (if you have a SSAN) - then they fade into the background when it comes to taxes. No state tax on NJ lotto winnings. In almost every state, it takes weeks to get the money transferred to you, after you step forward. Why wait months to claim the

N.J. store owners win lottery jackpotReply
Well, if you think of the lottery as just another business to be run, then it makes sense for them to adjust the retailer bonus to the least possible amount before it starts affecting whether a retailer wants to sell tickets or not.So, from the lottery's perspective, why should they pay $10,000 to a store for selling a winning ticket if the store will sign up anyway for a $2,000 bonus?The lottery exists to make as much money for the state budget as possible, so giving away excess money to a reta

Dispute erupts over use of Tennessee lottery fundsReply
What upsets me is the fact that I graduated in 2001 and they are telling me that I am not allowed to even get the lottery money for school. I feel that every student who is in college and needs the money should be able to get it. I don't have any help with school and the money I do get from the state is very little. I work hard in school and I feel that I should be able to get some of that lottery money. I mean hell they raise the prices of the schools and they don't raise the price of the mone

For some lottery winners jackpot is a 'nightmare'Reply
I don't know but when you win a lot of money on that 1 dollar purchase. It's like common since goes out the door. The high you get from winning all that money can drive people to do the strangest things. I imagine many people get very buy happy. They start buying everything they never could afford. Many people might think of buying things as an investment. Thinking that if for some reason they needed money they could sell off the stuff they bought. If you never invested in a portfolio before you
