North Carolina woman collapses on live TV after becoming first Powerball millionaire of the yearReply
That would actually be sound financial advice, and it sounds like that's exactly what she wants. From the article: I would love to have my own home that is mine and that I feel safe in, Bradshaw told the Lottery. I can have my own house and fix it up pretty and clean and feel safe. Not anything fancy or big, just a little cottage or something with one or two bedrooms.

California man asks clerk to choose a lottery game for him, ends up picking out a ticket worth $10MReply
My eyes were scanning the article looking for just that, lol. We just got the feel good story and how the universe conspired to get him a winner, but what is important is the giving back - I would have taken the 5M and told the cashier, here's 800K for you, but the taxes are on you as well. I hope the winner did not give the cashier $100.

$1.725 BILLION: Powerball jackpot now 2nd-largest of all timeReply
Very interesting article about Powerball on cnn website today. Forgot all about Lotto America's rules, the interesting part was capped off @ $80 million. Ticket was $1 and no Powerball to deal with and much, much better odds. Thinking about the cap off, if nobody won then it stayed the same???? After being stationed @ Walter Reed in DC and stationed up the road @ Ft. Meade, MD, my old civilian supervisor would mail me Lotto America tickets and one time just before leaving for Germany won $14

New Jersey Lottery will begin selling tickets onlineReply
Correct, though it has been forever it seems since I won anything. Email would read Winnings Deposit Confirmation. Last couple of weeks some lucky soul won $1 million Powerball on-line and wonder what their email read; no doubt it would be different? Will reread the article to see what it says. Not too specific, said he received an email from KY lottery and almost deleted it. Said he won the money. Drove to Louisville and got a nice check for $715K!

$1 BILLION: Powerball jackpot hits milestone for 3rd timeReply
Nice article as usual Todd Kate. On Paragraph #7 had addressed this before. Kentucky has on-line purchases for MM PB and a slew of other losing propositions. Please fix this! Anyway best of luck LP members on these massive jackpots.

"Lottery Lawyer" Jason Kurland sentenced to prison after defrauding winners of over $100 millionReply
Kurland wont do all 13 years of his sentence and what ever time he actually does do will be spent at a minimum security Federal Detention Center for white collar criminals. (aka Club Fed ) Restitution will be a joke. He doesn't have that kind of money and wont ever have millions again. And where's the court appointed trustee trying to clawback some of the money that belonged to the people that were scammed? The article makes no mention of anything like that. It does mention forfeiture of 64

Connecticut Lottery launches new system, players unable to check ticketsReply
Reading this article, it seems that some scratcher players have no idea what the game rules are, to the point where they don't know how to check whether they won anything or not. They drive around looking for machines that can check for a winner when a new system fails in that regard. I went to the Arizona website to try to determine the rules of the different scratcher games, and I couldn't find any! I won't play a game until I know the rules and odds, so I don't play scratchers in Arizona.

Florida LLC revealed to have claimed $1.6 billion Mega Millions lottery jackpotReply
I wish I could remember where I very recently read this, but unfortunately I cant. What I read was a news report that stated the winner used an LLC registered in Delaware, not Florida. The reason given for registering in Delaware was stated as Delaware will not release the names of members of an LLC registered in Delaware, but Florida will release the names. .... So what the LLC in Miami is all about I do not know. I do recall that it was a Florida TV station's website where the abo

Massachusetts woman accidentally receives $20,000 worth of lottery tickets in the mailReply
I was always under the impression, that anything delivered to you, that wasn't ordered by you, was your's If a company sends you something you didn't order they can't ask for it to be returned and you can keep it if you want to. When your neighbor orders something and the addressed to your neighbor is accidentally delivered to you it belongs to your neighbor. If you don't deliver it to the neighbor or return it to the shipper or the company it becomes stolen property. The article isn't
