$1.35 BILLION: Mega Millions jackpot set to deliver unimaginable wealthReply
A lottery ticket is a bearer instrument. It is not the same thing legally as a financial contract. A lottery ticket is also backed by the state law. The state lottery is not a stranger on any level.

How much do you "Owe," in this Lottery situation?Reply
Verbal contracts to share a potential lottery win/gambling related are impossible to enforce in most jurisdictions. It is based on indefiniteness, etc. and there really is not an offer and acceptance as in a contract. Now, if it concerned a married couple, that is different since it would be property acquired during a marriage. And if you give someone money to purchase lottery tickets on your behalf, that is different as well. And I agree that you are opening a can of worms by giving

A verbal Lottery joke agreement wouldn't hold up in Court, would it?Reply
If you both tell the court there was agreement, laughingly or not, the court will likely uphold that agreement. Even if you are laughing, and they laugh too, there was an oral understanding, an offer tendered without conditions and acknowledged. In most states that would be an oral contract. G

Michigan woman didn't realize she had Powerball lottery ticket worth $1 million for six weeksReply
Not everybody has an Online lottery account and know they don't issue physical tickets or how most winnings are paid into an account. Having never won any prize over $600 playing Online, I don't know their process, but for prizes over $25,000, it's probably similar to purchasing the ticket from a lottery retailer. Wickett knew she won something just didn't know how much. And because she had a subscription, she wasn't worried about not having tickets in future drawings so there was no reason

Iowa Lottery retailer accuses store manager of buying ticket he knew won $100,000Reply
The answer is simple. Number one I play lottery all the time .l can void pick3 and pick4 but l can't void powerball or mega . So the store does not have the Ability to void certain games.

What are the rights of lottery players as consumersReply
I think you can get a good answer to your question by looking at what happened to the people who won the jackpots immediately after the fraudulent wins orchestrated by Eddie Tipton. The money claimed by Tipton and his accomplices obviously should have gone to other players but the lotteries fought the subsequent winners when they tried to claim to money that would have rolled over if Tipton's fraudulent wins hadn't taken it. In the case of the guy who won Hot Lotto the lottery tried to wease

I can see the headline now..... Millionaire forced to institute restraining order against persistent young ******; Ministry of ******* considers terminating her contract due to bad press. Lol... Actually, I have thought of it, but I am pretty certain he has put measures in place against being approached by random strangers by now.

Florida Fantasy-5 PlayersReply
Thanks for your kind words regarding my daughter. I hate to say this but one of the big reasons she wants to move from Phoenix back to the east coast is the school systems in Arizona have burned her out. The school systems in AZ aren't known to be a good place to work. Lowly paid teachers is a huge problem. As for Speech Therapists, the pay is fine (they are employed by companies that contract with the individual school system where the therapist actually works) but case loads are very large
