United States Member #173489 March 5, 2016 147 Posts Offline | judge- Worked Hard For It Lottery winner- bought ticket Envy is a horrible thing.GROPPO Your words are very spiteful, and more revealing of your character than you know. It's a game for crying out loud....just a game. we are all playing with the hope of winning. The last I checked there were no income/lifestyle/occupation restrictions to qualify as a deserving winner. Congrats to my fellow Keystoner!! I hope I am next. | | |

Neither state has an income tax on their lottery, but since he's a PA resident and won in FL he'll be paying PA income tax on his FL winnings. | | |

It's not fair. It's just not fair.
How do you all see this?
It is all "fair". Anyone of age 18 and older in the USA can buy a lottery ticket nowadays from almost anywhere. On the Internet, local state stores, etc. What's "not fair" is the darn thing didn't roll to a billion plus this time.  | | |

Redwood City,California United States Member #70501 February 3, 2009 211 Posts Offline | The Powerball game is not rigged. Anyone could have won. This is the first time that I have heard of a judge winning big in a lottery game. " The rich get richer and the poor get poorer " I was hoping too that the Powerball game would reach the billion dollar mark but unfortunately it didn't. | | |

| I know a few Judges personally and they are salt of the earth type people. I would bet the farm that we will not be hearing that he died of a drug overdose or seeing him on a episode of how the lottery ruined my life. I would also say that the winnings will be around for a long time even after his death. RL | | |
