I Am a Millionaire Now!!Reply
I get these fraud letters in the mail and i have got them in many emails. It's fraud if you didn't actually purchase a lottery ticket then by all means you didn't win.The only site i know that buys tickets for you is free lotto if you sign up for the offer. When the Mega or powerball jackpot reaches a certain level they offer a promotion.Still the operative word here is sign up.

Store owner to appeal jury's lottery decisionReply
Litigation is not a lottery but advice to buy 52 tickets at a time to win 5.2 million when the cap is 1 million is fraud if I remember correctly. They are both idots and deserve the appropriate punishments. He only wins what he wins and the seller is charged with criminal fraud. Let the punishment fit the crime. Who needs passion and posts that ignore the facts.

Lottery Theory May Be A Fraud
Has anyone ordered the lottery theory from Dave Todd and tried to get a refund? I ordered it and was deeply disappointed. I have requested a refund approximately two weeks ago and still have not received my money. If you are in a similar situation, I suggest you contact the appropriate federal, state, and legal authorities regarding his site and product. Also, contact the Better Business Bureau for his area.
