Why are you so angry about my reponses to Jarasan. Do you know the person who is in this article. Like you or anyone else on this, I review threads over and over again. And if a question or comment is presented or addressed to me I will try to repond. That's only, the polite thing to do, unless the conversation starts to get rediculous and then it's time to ignore it.

Thanks again KY Floyd.

Of course you're not. You've just come back yet again to try and defend a suspicion that is comletely unfounded, because, well, I don't know.

There is guy here in D.C. that played six identical lines on a game called Quick Cash a few years ago and hit 6 for 6 (6 X $250,000) with fortune cookie numbers, they changed the game after that. Now it is called D.C. Daily Six and they changed the matrix, cost, and rules after that.

Moral of the story:

The house doesn't like to lose.

Even though they smacked the guy on fed and state taxes, the D.C. Lottery board made it more unlikely that would never happen again. D.C. has computerize... [ More ]

My occupation is concerned with saving lives.

As I mentioned before, I spent 18 months on a grand jury. One of the cases that we spent many weeks on happened to be similar. The mistake that the individual made, being that he is giving his tickets to others for what ever reason does send up a red flag to the Feds. People who had received winning ticckets from that individal were brought before us to tell their story about how and why they received the winning tickets.

What is your obsession with this?

There is absolutely zero basis to think he may not be reporting the prizes, except that we all know that some people don't report some of their income. Similar reasoning means I can safely conclude that you may be a serial killer and have a penchant for animal abuse and porn. FWIW, it's not any public information that would get the IRS involved, it's the notification by the lottery about all of the winnings (for everybody, not just this guy) that are big enou... [ More ]

It's not me Jarasan, it's the FEDS.

The story brings two facts to light.

1) He's winning alot of money (which I hope he's claiming)

2) He has a business that he may be claiming on his income tax returns that may or may not exist.

If he gives them any reason to dove into his finances, let's say, because his winning are public knowledge and his tax returns don't totally reflect all of the monies, Then the Feds will surely pick him apart, starting with the lottery wins then the business... [ More ]

RJOh — Sun, 11 Jan 2009 02:56:40 GMT

From the looks of the winners list, what ever system the Krupa family is using, it includes duplications. I've heard of pick5 and smaller games players who are so sure of their picks, they will play the same combinations several times but they have to be aware not to exceed the payout limits if they win or else they will have spent extra money and gained little.

Comment #52

jarasan — Sun, 11 Jan 2009 01:24:14 GMT

Yeah I do get it, of course you have to declare it, it is income like the W-2 your employer gives you. That is not my point though. Why in the hades do you concern yourself with his import/export business? It has nothing to do with his hitting the 20K a lot. JMO.

Comment #50

Litebets27 — Sat, 10 Jan 2009 23:39:47 GMT

You don't get it Jarasan, you file the W-2G but you also have to declare it on your tax returns. Been there, done it.

And believe me, two years later, the Maryland State lottery continues to review winners information. I received a letter asking for confirmation of information.

Last, I'm happy that he won. The story just gives off some alarms that he and his benefactors should be alerted to.

Lottery officials have no authority over his business, this is the exact problem starting to happen in the USA we were talking about earlier. I'm sure everybody out there is perfectly transparent and pays all their stuff on time and completely.

Litebets27 — Sat, 10 Jan 2009 20:39:19 GMT

True, but when they file their income taxes, are they claiming their wins. I hope so. I once sat on a grand jury case similar to this.

The other thing that may get him in trouble is that he claims to have an import/export business which the investergaters saw very little signs of.

Having been in the business many years ago, I know that you can accumulate loads of paper work...bills of lading...bills of goods...etc.

Looking through that link I noticed a few people with multiple wins.

I hope Mr. Krupa and his family and friends remember to claim their wins on their Federal taxes, or the next story that we will be reading is how the Grand Jury is investigating his winnings and why the fed is not getting it's cut.

There is even more interesting thing.Colorado has 42 numbers in lotto and Illinois has 52 numbers.In

Colorado jackpot starts from 1 million and in Illinois from 2 million.Little lotto in Illinois has 39 numbers and

jackpot starts from 100,000$,so it has almost the same amount of numbers as in Colorado lotto. lol

I think i know,how this guy is winning,but i am not 100% sure.As someone mention already,odds of hitting

cash5 jackpot in Colorado are pretty good.In my state Illinois odds of hitting 100,000$ starting jackpot are

1:575,757 and his ods are 1:201,376.Jackpot is much lower,but odds are much better.Another thing is that

chances to hit 4 out of 5 numbers in cash 5 ( 200$ winner) are 1;1492 and in my state Illinois if you got 4 out

of 5 you get 100$ and chances are 1: 3,387.So it is much

What if the man wanted to remain private? Why would the LC blast his name all over the news to alert robbers to invade his home thinking they will hit the jackpot? That is putting the man in danger. He didn't sign his rights away when he won? Sounds fishy that the LC investigated him. Real fishy.

This is a game where playing a couple thousand lines gets you into the ballpark.

One way that he could pull it off also is if he kept a track of Lottery post prediction for that particular game [colorado X game], and add or subtract 2 or 3 numbers i say this because i've noticed that lottery post predictors are a lot of times off by 1 or 2 numbers on the pick5 predictions on different states every week, normally are like less than 5 predictors that are that good...Maybe he picked up the predictions from lottery post predictors and added or subtracted 2 or 3 numbers...Maybe i...

The system he mentions is searching for winning numbers on the internet... that sounds like, he sees what other Lotteries' winning sets are and played that?

That sounds likes the system I'm already using for my Ohio Rolling Cash5 game. It's a list of the the previous 1417 combinations drawn which I do NOT play and it has only been wrong twice when on 01/04/09 drawing matched all 5 numbers drawn on 06/21/07 and on 12/20/08 when the drawing matched the numbers drawn on 10/12/04.

For example, Colorado Cash5 is a 5/32 game with odds of 1:201,376 of winning a jackpot of $20K while a game like Rolling Cash5 in Ohio is a 5/39 game with odds of 1:575,757 of winning a jackpot of $100K+.

Why is he being dragged through the mud? He has not been accused of anything, never mind charged or convicted. The lottery should not have revealed his identity until it had some evidence of wrong-doing. If someone is involved in fraud they should be investigated and if there is evidence, they should be charged, and if convicted, punished.

Just because someone wins a lot it does not mean he is doing something wrong. Innocent unlit proven guilty. I hope he sues the lottery for defamation

Is it unfair to investigate a player just because he plays a lot?

The real reason Tadeusz Krupa wins so often may have nothing to do with luck, skill or cheating. He may just play... a lot.
