Minnesota woman made $117,000 from illegal lottery she claimed benefitted charityReply
The problem is proving a fake cancer diagnosis on gofundme. Medical records are protected under the law so it is virtually impossible to prove fraud. The burden of proof is on the person claiming fraud. I was aware of one case where a woman faked cancer and her doctor saw the post and reported the fraud to gofundme. I know of a situation in my sister's neighborhood where a number of people suspect this one woman and her family faked her cancer diagnosis and death. They raised over 200 k. No

$1 BILLION: Powerball jackpot hits milestone for 3rd timeReply
Yes I know it is a curious bit of research. I just wanted to let the non believers know that birthday numbers are jackpot winners just like any other numbers. At least the experts are always saying don't play birthday numbers because one would be leaving out numbers over 31 and the jackpot would most likely be shared with others with the same numbers. No matter what number one plays it has a chance of being a winner. A lot of us remember the tv show Lost which aired from 2004 -2010. The cha

DC man sues the lottery after incorrect numbers posted on website would have won him $340 millionReply
When the case is dismissed, his attorney will probably have to sue for his fees. The complaint puts forward zero evidence to survive a motion to dismiss. The complaint relies solely on the wrong numbers being posted to prove fraud, etc. They even ask for punitive damages. Lol lol

Florida LLC revealed to have claimed $1.6 billion Mega Millions lottery jackpotReply
There is nothing suspicious about winning a prize in one part of a state and claiming it in another part of the state. Waiting is also not suspicious because they wanted to make sure they had everything in order. In most states one's name has to match identically on both the ID and social security card when claiming a prize at lottery headquarters. A lot of people don't realize this until they get to headquarters and have to file paperwork for new ID's and social security cards with matching nam

California man asks clerk to choose a lottery game for him, ends up picking out a ticket worth $10MReply
Since the clerk choose the ticket for me at my request I would tip nicely, it was a life changing amount. Your are going to pay 37% in Taxes in total based only on the 5.8 Million which equates to 3,654,000.00 after all the Federal Tax is paid. I would Tip the clerk 654,000.00 they will be responsible for any Taxes from that, it removes me from Tax Fraud allegations. California is very expensive so I figure 654 Thousand is not a whole lot in that State but better than zero. The store that receiv

Florida man arrested after buying $31,000 worth of lottery tickets using company credit cardReply
Here in KY the lotto machines accept both Debit and CC. Some mini-mart stores here and Indiana will not take CC, only Debit. End of the road takes both as well as some in Indiana. Am wondering if lottery guys get burned on CC if somewhat disputes the charges whereas Debit comes rigfht out of your account? Just think if some bozo disputed CC charges after using it then won the lotto. The lottery would be all over that like honey to a bear...and perhaps would refuse to pay out due to the
