Florida man arrested after buying $31,000 worth of lottery tickets using company credit cardReply
I was surprised to learn you can purchase lottery tickets with a Debit card at Winn-Dixie in Florida. All other places are cash only, as far as I know.

Florida LLC revealed to have claimed $1.6 billion Mega Millions lottery jackpotReply
Sounds like the Florida lottery may be in big trouble for publishing his name. Another interesting issue in terms of a lottery releasing a winner's name when they were not supposed to do so. Why else would they have removed the name otherwise?

Florida LLC revealed to have claimed $1.6 billion Mega Millions lottery jackpotReply
This is fascinating and big news in terms of using an LLC (in states where it is an option). So the privacy aspect of the Delaware incorporated LCC superceded the public records aspect of the Florida lottery law. This makes sense since I doubt Florida would challenge this since the majority of businesses in the state are likely incorporated under Delaware law. I double checked Delaware LLC law and it does not require at any point; even in annual reports and filings, for the true owner to

Florida LLC revealed to have claimed $1.6 billion Mega Millions lottery jackpotReply
Interesting. The registered agent may or may not be the actual winner. If Florida allows one to designate anyone as a registered agent, then 100% anonymity would be possible for wins over a certain amount.

$1.76 billion Powerball jackpot won by one ticket sold in CaliforniaReply
So what is the total of tickets sold in the US compared to California= 24 mil vs 13M for NY and TX, 15M Florida. Do you see when you add all the other states numbers up they dwarf California but California still wins the Billion dollar jackpots and nothing seems strange????? You either work for the lottery or you are delusional.

That's great. But he'll still have to pay his taxes in Alabama. Good for him, Florida won't tax him.

Florida winner of $1.6 billion Mega Millions jackpot steps forward to claim prizeReply
I think you are right there is no way Florida lottery mistakenly entered cash option for so many winners and forgot to update the actual winner's info after the 90 day time frame. I think once the winner claims the prize as a Trust or LLC it stays that way. *interested people would have to go digging into the members of the Trust and LLC.

Florida winner of $1.6 billion Mega Millions jackpot steps forward to claim prizeReply
I'm confused. The news article above says that the Florida Lottery did not reveal whether or not the winner chose the lump sum cash option or the annuity. Yet their website has a Jackpot Winners and Retailer Information Report on it showing the winner took the cash option. Here's a link to it. https://www.flalottery.com/exptkt/MegaMillions_Jackpot_Retailer_Info.pdf What's up with that? In addition to claiming anonymously I hope they hired a lawyer to claim it for them via a trust or
