$925 MILLION: Powerball lottery jackpot nears billion-dollar milestoneReply
If you take a minute and think about it, the 90 day anonymous law in Florida has the word COMPROMISE written all over it. 90 days is the best solution for a bill that The Florida Legislature could pass and send to The Governor's Office for signature. There were those in The Legislature that wanted complete anonymousness for the winners, but there were also other Legislators who felt total anonymousness would hurt ticket sales. Neither side could have it totally their way. So they found a com

$70 million Michigan Powerball winner says lottery winners should be able to remain anonymousReply
[the Lottery doesn't] realize what they do to people Oh, I'm sure they do realise.. But they don't care .. Publicity (identifying winners) increases sales, which increases revenue.. which probably means bigger bonuses for someone ...

New UK National Lottery operator Allwyn will implement online spending limitReply
I can understand limiting online sales but in person retailers? I think that should be up to the retailer. Sometimes I may buy 10 or 12 scratchers in one shot and when I do that, I always win something. I wouldn't like not having that option. Where I live, purchases can only be made with cash or debit cards, credit cards, checks, etc. are not allowed. I guess that is for player safety so people won't run themselves into credit card debt playing the lottery. Just hope U.S. lotteries don't

New Jersey Lottery will begin selling tickets onlineReply
It is ironic that the New Jersey Lottery is gearing up for on-line sales when they have the most dismal system of paying lottery winners above their $600 threshold. Right now, by their own admission on its website, it is taking lottery players an incredible EIGHT weeks to receive payment from the New Jersey Lottery. And that's EIGHT weeks from after the lottery RECEIVES the claim form in the mail at its ONLY claim center in Trenton. Contrast this with all the surrounding states - New York, Delaw

Massachusetts store clerk indicted after stealing lottery ticket worth $3 million from customerReply
Read the MUSL Powerball rules. Couldn't find that the ticket was called a bearer instrument. One thing that struck me regarding ticketless sales was the very last sentence: A receipt for a Ticketless Transaction Play has no value and is not evidence of a Play . OK, I get 'no value', but no evidence of Play? So if a computer glitch occurs which @ some point probably will what happens then???

$1.08 billion Powerball lottery winner Yanira Alvarez filed claim for jackpot over five months agoReply
I am so confused by this. It takes the California lottery from October 16 2023 to March 29 2024 (165 days) to verify the winner and collect the money to give the winner their payment ? I have never heard of this before even with previous major jackpot winners in other states and California. I can understand keeping the privacy for lottery winners. But I don t like the lack of transparency from the lottery and generic answers or talking around the question. It s just like how Powerba
