Lottery ticket sold in Illinois wins $560 million Mega Millions jackpotReply
Great points taken. Didn't quite understand about different noises that machines make then say that thermal printers are silent. My home state was the last (MA) to get rid of noisy, dot matrix printers. Not sure where the machine that printed that $787 or so million dollar ticket from near W. MA went, but she was making tghe rounds years ago. I agree with you on CA lottery and Todd reminded me of their law for pari-mutuel payouts. Had sent an email vs regular mail months ago asking them to g

U.S. Postal Service worker pleads guilty after caught stealing cash and lottery tickets from mailReply
The NY Court is going after President Trump for an alleged crime that the Feds declined to pursue. Elevating a business records misdemeanor to a federal crime for an alleged undisclosed underlying crime is not going to hold up on appeal. All businesses choose to settle some internal matters and threatened litigation and it is noted as legal expenses accounting wise. So yes, NY does play...but foolishly.

His legal background will benefit him. I am sure he is glad to be out of NY. He will do well. He looks very earnest. And let's not trash southern states with stereotypes. You may be begging to live in a southern state in the near future.

Michigan woman who won $25,000 a year for life Lucky for Life lottery prize thought she was hackedReply
Though the top two tier prizes are the dreaded Pari-mutuel don't think that has ever happened best of my knowledge. Going to TRY to not play the big boys unless they reach $40 million and play this instead; odds are much better. It is nice that like KY, MI you can play on-line. That legal mumbo jumbo mailed to California lottery about that and getting Double play on Powerball should get there Monday. Like Todd said their law prevents Double play. Now going to look up Mega Millions

$1.3 billion Mega Millions lottery winner's family sues him for not sharing jackpotReply
Its my understanding that this sara person was under the condition to not reveal anything. NDA clause , etc. No where did it say John had to keep his trap shut. Clearly he told his gf and possibly his Dad. Unsure a statement is a contract when speaking with his father. Oral contracts are hard to prove in court. Just even a slight twist of wording in the conversation will or could determine if its a contract or just a joke. I've been known to jokingly say to folks, ohh sure (haha) if I w
