It's time the lottery needs to stop releasing a person name and picture when a big win is won!Reply
Lottery anonymity/privacy laws only forbid lottery entities from releasing personal information about you to the PUBLIC and the News Media etcetera, NOT government entities. Big Brother will always have access to virtually everything they want to know about you. Total anonymity is not and never was the goal of these laws. They simply state that lottery entities cannot release your name, address, photo and other personal info to the previously listed sources without your permission. An 86-year

New Mexico woman wins lottery twice in two weeksReply
She doesn't look too happy: (just take the dang picture already...) Maybe that's because of New Mexico's draconian requirements on publication of winners: I understand that the New Mexico Lottery Authority and its retailers and advertising agencies as well as the news media and their editors may use my name and photograph for reproduction in any medium they see fit for the purposes of advertising, display, exhibition or editorial use.

Woman who let Powerball winner go ahead of her has no regretsReply
I'd also bet her sons and lawyers won't let her. Just the fact the lottery spokesperson mentioned that Gloria had accidental jumped in front of another player proves Gloria was thinking about the other player. It makes me wonder why the lawyer was there because Gloria's comments to the lottery spokesperson have us and the news media speculating whether or not Mindy deserves a nice reward. The 50/50 split with her son is suspicious too because if the ticket was split, why didn't the lotte

Illinois Mega Millions winner to come forwardReply
Though the article doesn't indicate [darn!!!], it is probable that the Illinois ticket purchased jackpot winner previously took either their, original lottery ticket or validation ticket, with Claim Form to the Illinois Lottery Headquarters for the 2 weeks or so of processing and financial background checks required. Consequently, it is probable that the winner's presence later today is simply their last 'hoops to jump through' for the Illinois Lottery Headquarters jackpot monies receival req

Lottery jackpots may get biggerReply
hawk, Me-thinks you are an idiot. I remember a fellow that worked at a convenience store making minimum wage who won the Powerball. It so happened the news media and a rep from the lottery was there when the winner showed up and told his boss he thought he won. I assure you, that dude was white, but definitely not rich. Then there was a guy I believe in South Dakota, or maybe North Dakota who won, with playing his last few bucks. Don't think he was rich either. There have been many winners th

It ironic that the immigrant who barely speaks English has a better grasp of the meaning of the American dream than some of the other winners. He didn't grow up with the agenda-driven mainstream news media and education system that has brainwashed the last couple of generations in this country. American values are being done away with.
