Now this is News worthy...Brad Duke
Yes Brad Duke is back in the news...for a good reason. Way to go BD; I'll be joining you in the pursuit to becoming a billionaire whether I win a huge jackpot or not. I remember I read an earlier story on Brad and the journalist clearly showed the wrong bias when he used the word spend ; Brad Duke is clearly focused on investing, not spending his lottery winnings. And yes, even inflation affects multi-millionaires: it costs more to purchase a learjet today than it did 10 years ago; it costs

N.C. lottery fraud trial puts S.C. Lottery under microscopeNews Story
The federal trial of Kevin L. Geddings is probing as deeply into his pro-lottery work in South Carolina as it is into his activities leading up to his appointment last year to North Carolina's lottery commission. And the evidence presented so far by prosecutors suggests they see a pattern of conduct payments to Geddings by lottery vendor Scientific Games in exchange for helping the company win lottery business. Testimony and evidence show that creating a lottery in the Palmetto state

John Schofield's article in the Personal Finance section contributes a number of calculations to Maclean's Magazine.

What is the real meaning of Memorial DayReply
Quote: Originally posted by justxploring on May 28, 2006 Historically it's a day to remember the men women who died while serving in the military. But to many it's just the beginning of summer or the end of the school year and a 3 day weekend (not for me) to get away from work. I guess if someone has lost a loved one, Memorial Day can be a special day to pay a visit to his or her grave, whether or not he/she was in the military. When I grew up, it was always May 30. I'm not sure when it wa

Lotto winner faces financial decisions
OK. So you've won the lottery. Now comes the hard part. How do you manage all those millions? The Florida Lottery jackpot is expected to top $82 million for tonight's Lotto drawing -- the seventh-largest jackpot ever in Florida. And the chance of picking all six numbers is 1 in 22,957,480. Still, you've got to dream. (For nonlottery players, those dreams probably will mean frustratingly slower lines at convenience stores today.) If a sole winner chooses to take the jackpot over 30

How do you claim a $267,000,000 prize?Reply
Sure, that's the obvious thing to do once you have a winning ticket... What's for sure, though, I am not going to hire an attorney just to find out.... beforehand. I would like to learn more about this, and I'm sure most of those reading this post feel the same way. I think it would be nice if someone knowledgeable were to share this type of info here. I just read an interesting news story mentioning that the lucky one from Lyons, Ohio went about claiming his prize ($270M) by set

Man claims Powerball lottery prize just before it was due to expireNews Story
With only two hours left, Jose Luis Martinez of Roswell walked into New Mexico Lottery headquarters and claimed a $200,000 Powerball prize that was about to expire.

There's a lot of talk here on LP about hiring financial planners, CPAs, lawyers....... Yes, and....? Several books about coming into some serious money suggest the person who gets it should get Kidnap and Ransom insurance I haven't read these unnamed books, but from your short synopsis of them I'd say they were being overly alarmist if not melodramatic.
