$1.35 billion Mega Millions lottery winner suing mother of his child for revealing win to familyReply
I assumed it was some sort of informal support and not court ordered. He could have asked the family court not to share the source of his new wealth but still disclose the amount. But by the amount, she would have figured it out. NDAs can be tricky to enforce. If the court first outed the lottery win to her, it will complicate matters. I hope he wins. We should all appreciate his efforts here. We might get some great case law to start the ball rolling again on the anonymity issue for states.

Florida man arrested after buying $31,000 worth of lottery tickets using company credit cardReply
I doubt they will take him to court for that small amount. They could dock his pay if he still works there or get a lien on his home or future new employer salary perhaps. A lien would need a court order but it would far less visible to the general public. Most companies have theft insurance policies as well. I think he would owe taxes on that money.

DC man sues the lottery after incorrect numbers posted on website would have won him $340 millionReply
He also fails the reasonable person test. I think others are correct here. He saw the early posted numbers with the missing pb number and went out and bought 26 tickets with each pb number. Just a scammer. Hopefully there is video of this as well. See USA Today info below. Brittany Bailey, the project manager at Taoti, said in court documents that Cheeks' attempted scheme is a way to capitalize on an obvious error on the D.C. Lottery website. Rather than posting random numbers on a
