$1.08 billion Powerball lottery winner Yanira Alvarez filed claim for jackpot over five months agoReply
I would have given the clerk that ticket and just tell the truth that I found it left behind in the machine. Maybe the clerk knows who to return it to because it's a regular customer, maybe not. Either way, it's out of my hands. If the clerk is dishonest enough to try to claim it as her own, she won't get very far because of the time stamp and security footage. Not my monkeys not my circus, as they say.

Retailers have security cameras and sometimes the machines themselves also have cameras. That would prove you bought the tickets even if you couldn't remember exactly where or when. Worst case scenario, if the lottery demanded an absurd level of precision that you couldn't provide, you could sue them to pay out the prize. I doubt they would refuse to pay out a prize because you couldn't remember whether or not you bought a bag of Cheetos with the ticket.

$1.33 billion Powerball jackpot won by one ticket sold in OregonReply
Has a jackpot winner ever been sold in Oregon? At least one previous PB jackpot. Oregon is also the only place that sold a jackpot winning ticket through a valet service. IIRC the winner was from Iran (possibly Iraq?) but I think the prize was too small to be PB or MM. I have two bachelor's degree one statistics ... Your degree is statistics is apparently worth almost as much as your PB ticket for last Saturday. Once they sell 1% of the combinations what do you think happens with t

Accusations of "disturbing" new claims procedures after Allwyn sends investigator to winner's homeReply
The nice thing about US lottery is that each state lottery office employs a security personnel; they are former police detective who only purpose is to investigate big wins. Case and point, when my lottery pool won $4000 on a scratcher, they asked us about the purchase and time of day when we claimed it. They already knew pertinent details they were just verifying it was us.

$1.23 BILLION: Powerball jackpot juggernaut keeps rollingReply
Thanks for the info. For some reason powerball.com is blocked on my computer and won't come up on my Android either. The block just ended for Mega millions. Glad no individual state held up the data/security stuff to Iowa as happens infrequently!

Apparently, but in another statement he mentions that Goodrow copied the CC Info onto his hand He believed that the debit card information was stolen from him on a night out in Clapham, he told The Sun. Goodram saw the card details and wrote them down on his hand. With the card information, he and Watson bought 180 worth of goods at a Londis convenience store in Clapham. So maybe not the physical card but you sometimes don't need it if purchasing at a store or online. Maybe it did
