this is the ONLY WAY to claim if you have to 'show up' - New Jersey is all about disclosure but this is one of those times I am ACTIVELY SEEKING OUT that one very crooked lawyer, that always reads the fine fine print and can play with words - basically, I don't want my name EVER disclosed - if he can assure me that, I don't mind paying him every year that my name stays OUT of sight [and I have one of those 'one of a kind' names [literally, no one else has my combo in the world] and if you know m...

It's a trend that I can agree with. I can see why so many people want to disguise themselves from the public. It seems more and more people just want to enjoy there winnings and not have to worry about people hounding them, which is bound to happen if you win a large sum of money.

I know that when I win I'll be donning a disguise too, a good one. I've pretty much came up with a character to protray, the only problem is that it'll be pretty much pointless if my name gets released, at least at a local level.

Considering how the press stalks winners to dig dirt, report innuendo as tragic news looks like it could be.

The press created a recession for the US so lottery winners are only a bump in the road.

BTW, congratulations to the winner, best wishes to them and their family

I think it is great that in China you can get help like this when you win big. My wife and I play every Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday. So far no luck. The thing is that the shaung se qiu game has 1-33/ 1-16 and you can play the same numbers 1 to ? times and win multiple times 5,000,000 yuan. It's not para-mutual. I wish him all the luck

The lottery center took additional measures to ensure his security. Staff members opened a secret passage for him a... [ More ]
