$36 million Mega Millions ticket sold in Florida goes unclaimedReply
With a medical emergency, checking lottery tickets takes low priority. There was a large number of excess deaths in 2023 in the US, so that increases the odds that the lost prize was due to medical issues. A high number of excess deaths in 2023 also occurred in Canada, New Zealand, Australia, the UK , and other countries.

Washington, D.C. woman wins $2 million Powerball prize from lottery ticket gifted to her by husbandReply
Was stationed in the DC area for eight years. I can remember driving to Bolling AFB/NCIS off of I think 295. Never had any problems, though it could be construed as sketchy. This was pre-cell/road side assistance phones and if your car broke down on that spur of interstate, you could almost be guaranteed your car would be stripped. When the Army decided to close the original site of Walter Reed Army Medical Center on GA Ave NW, neighbors in the area were upset that crime would increase.

$3.9 million Colorado Lotto+ winner just wants a new vacuumReply
I play on occasion and do not want a huge upgrade if at all in my lifestyle. I would like free time and more freedom vs working a lot. This guy will not have to worry about rising costs during his retirement or out of pocket medical costs.

Luck in "52s" — Oregon woman hits Win for Life jackpot after playing for the first timeReply
A win is a win. The money will be helpful for medical bills down the road and long term care. Cash for life has an option of $1 million for 2nd place. I thought win for life was similar?

Scotland's £148M EuroMillions lottery winner no longer speaking to family after giving them £20MReply
Money changes relationships. I can see buying a home or paying past medical bills for family members in real need but tossing expensive things at them is not the answer. It will never be enough. I think I mentioned a college friend of mine (comes from a well off family who paid cash for her home) who always tells us she will take care of us if she wins a huge jp. I always say who do you know that is in financial distress? None of us need being taken care of and I have certainly done very we

Minnesota woman made $117,000 from illegal lottery she claimed benefitted charityReply
The problem is proving a fake cancer diagnosis on gofundme. Medical records are protected under the law so it is virtually impossible to prove fraud. The burden of proof is on the person claiming fraud. I was aware of one case where a woman faked cancer and her doctor saw the post and reported the fraud to gofundme. I know of a situation in my sister's neighborhood where a number of people suspect this one woman and her family faked her cancer diagnosis and death. They raised over 200 k. No

Minnesota woman made $117,000 from illegal lottery she claimed benefitted charityReply
Worked in a hospital setting for 20 years and same for Army 20 years so am quite familiar with HIPAA Federal regulations. A family member usually rats out a fake from what I understand. Don't get me started on outright HIPAA violations as far as Covid-19 goes, Dx are not to be plastered on outside doors to patient's rooms but they were. Dx is diagnosis, sorry to you non-medical folks! Just like with Planned Parenthood, violations left and right. At my hospital instead of Federally pr

Oregon woman who doesn't check lottery tickets wins $1 million in raffleNews Story
Winner would have forgotten to check tickets if it weren't for Powerball By Kate Northrop An Oregon woman admitted that if it weren't for Powerball making headlines, she would not have thought to check an Oregon Lottery Raffle ticket that turned out to be worth $1 million. If it were not for seeing Powerball come up in the news, an Oregon woman would not have bothered to check her stack of lottery tickets, one of which held the winning numbers for a $1 million prize.
