Internet Gambling Law will be voted on and passed in December
Lotterybraker There are people playing offshore now.
If my name was John Smith or Billy Bob I'd think about it. LOL
Once it's legal it wouldn't be a big deal.

Cheated winner wants Texas Lottery to pay up
Maybe the TLC can give Mr. Willis a pair of hiking boots instead so he can negotiate the mountains of Katmandu with his team of lawyers in tow looking for the rest of his money then. Maybe that would be payment enough for trusting a de facto agent of the TLC.
Just because something is legal doesn't make it right.

Cheated winner wants Texas Lottery to pay up
The Lottery Commission may well be within their legal rights to withhold payment but for an agency that depends on consumer confidence I think it would be in their best interest to just pay the man his winnings in the spirit of good will and just doing the right thing.
Maybe they should keep a fund of all the unclaimed millions they haven't paid out as a contingency for just such an occasion as this.
Legalities aside (and I don't take them lightly), they should just do the right thing in t ...

Cheated winner wants Texas Lottery to pay up
Instead of wasting time on the retailer guidelines you'd be better off finding out the difference between a legal agent and many other types of agents . Simply calling a retailer a sales agent or sales agency doesn't mean they are a legal agent. If you read the end of your quote it very plainly says that it means retailers are licensed to sell tickets. If the lottery intended to make retailers legal agents of the lottery it would be carefully spelled out, describing exactly what powers retailers ...

Victim of stolen Texas lottery ticket says he knows how to get money back
The Lottery already paid the prize to the crook. A lottery ticket is a bearers instrument. Sign your ticket before handing it over to someone you don't know.
While it's a shame, the Lottery has no legal recourse. Someone claimed the ticket. It's up to us individually to protect ourselves from unscrupulous people.

Cheated winner wants Texas Lottery to pay up
And that's my point, the Texas Lottery is responsible regardless of who sells or cashes their tickets.
If we were talking about a defect with a ticket or an injury caused by a defective ticket you'd be correct. Maybe you understand that the issue over the coffee was a product liability case? There was nothing wrong with the lottery ticket in question. It was a legitimate winner, and the lottery paid the prize in good faith. I expect that nobody would be arguing that the lottery is responsib ...

Cheated winner wants Texas Lottery to pay up
I think the man being not too bright will be irrelevant in any legal proceedings.
I think the main issue will be that the clerk, acting as an agent for the TLC, stole his money.
If a friend, relative or stranger stole it that's a completely different case.
But it was an agent of the TLC that stole it.
He wins, they lose.

Can I get some help with online lottery tax info
I'm pretty sure that most people undertand exactly what you're saying, but in case anybody is unclear, I'll spell it out. You undertstand the legal requirements, but you're a thief who cheats on his taxes because the absence of a paper trail makes you think you can get away with it. Is that about right?

Can I get some help with online lottery tax info
Illinois seceded from the United States? Must have missed it on the news.
Of course you have to report ANY LOTTERY WINNINGS to the IRS! What do you think the article that I linked was saying? You can probably get away with not paying but it isn't legal!
