Very sad. I hope justice is served in this lifetime.

play pick3, pick 4 and have fun. You may not win a huge jackpot but your not likely to get your name plastered all over the place. No doubt there are those who seek the monthly jackpot winners out from what records are available. For some desperate souls this may be a full time obsession to aquire wealth. Having seen open obsession here at LP, I am sure there are well hidden and masked desperados on the lookout for an easy mark.

After following this story here at LotteryPost, I am reminded of a thread I posted 9-4-09 Identity Withheld Identity Revealed https://www.lotterypost.com/thread/199983/1396014 and a thread posted 12-04-09 by rdgrnr Should Lottery Commission Be Obligated to Maintain Your Anonymity? https://www.lotterypost.com/thread/204799 .

As we all dream of winning a lottery jackpot, we should seriously do an if-then plan for the safety and welfare of ourselves and our loved ones. Believe it or not you're n... [ More ]

Hey Dee Dee, I hope you meet some nice people who know what you did and you get yours. I say let God judge her and her brother but right away. Sparky is easy. A chipper/shredder would be more of a deterent. You could also bury her alive like she and her brother did to this naive but nice man. I'm going to go look you up now Dee Dee, so I can recognize you and spread the word. Hope others do the same and you read this post. See you later Dee Dee, I hope.

And the media gets on the filthy rich Athletes for carrying a weapon with them at all times...I'm not saying its right to carry a weapon in a locker room or whatever...But I do understand the argument...

I hope he can now RIP...However staying anonymous would have not helped this poor man...It was the people he chose to bring into his circle that most likely was his own demise...The world is full of unconscious animals...Whether we are dirt poor or filthy rich, we have to take the necessary precautions to protect ourselves AT ALL TIMES...

I would like to ask all of you to email the Florida lottery and the Governor of Florida and raise the issue of anonymity.

Sad indeed. This is exactly why WHEN I win the lottery, I'll move my family from PA to North Dakota or Wyoming...

This indeed is a sad story. It just goes to show how people will take advantage of you when it is obvious you can not help yourself. Sad that his advisor advised him out of his assets and he could not see it. It would be good to remain nameless. But that law WILL NOT change sooo.....be creative as you claim. BEFORE you claim:

1. Have arrangements made to have your present home cleaned out and loaded on a moving truck!

2. Tell NO ONE, absolutely no one that you have won. PERIOD!

3. When

I wouldn't think so..as they found his body at Dee Dee's boyfriends house. And as I was watching fox news today..unfortunately they matched his fingerprints..it is Shakespeare...too sad..he was just surrounded by cruel and greedy people.. and they do have the death penalty in Florida and hope these 2 creeps get what they deserve

Littleoldlady — Fri, 29 Jan 2010 23:55:42 GMT

The slab he was buried under belonged to her brother..she is knee deep in this. And NO she did not get his money the legal way . I wish they would hook up old sparky for her but*. You are very nieve if you think someone will not kill you if you have something they desperately want. It happens everyday.

avo2 — Fri, 29 Jan 2010 21:40:20 GMT

i can't imaging that somebody kill or murder someone cause they say no,, people that want to kill and it not even their, i dont think dee dee could have done it even though she didn't care she was getting it anyway,,she was getting it the legal way, but she could know who have done it or seem that punk.

Safer neighborhood? Whats that? move to where no one even knows your name. ( including family). I plan to help people the way entertainers do-- silently and anonymously.

My condolences to the family.

[T]hey discovered the remains buried five feet below the surface ...

Likely 'persons'. I imagine the amount of work required to move that volume of soil -- twice -- is no small task.

While lottery winners cannot remain anonymous, there's this -- The executioner: Is a private citizen who is paid $150 per execution. State law allows for his or her identity to remain anonymous. Source: Florida Death Row Fact Sheet

well as the saying goes, whatever you have in this world, there is always someone out there that wants it from you, hope this is a wake up call for florida lotto when it comes to annonimity, but who am i to say, im just an 800lbs gorilla.

I feel so very sorry for Shakespeare's mother - what that poor woman has been through.

The Nightline story on how Dee Dee Moore pursued this man and took control of his money is really just the tip of the iceberg.

This woman is truly a piece of work. I'm glad she'll be arrested very soon. She better get a new attorney because the one

she had just withdrew from the case. Hope they froze all her bank accounts - if anything is left , it should be given to Shakespeare's mother.... [ More ]

I did a Google search on this story and it is so sad. Apparently Dee-Dee is a real piece of work. She was supposed to be his financial advisor . He apparently was not very well educated (poor reading skills) and everything that he bought with his money, ie real estate, etc now belongs to her. He had purchased a 1 million dollar home in a gated community and later sold it to her for about 700,000.00. She also owns or is taking care of the rest of his real estate through some company she is suppos... [ More ]

Swift capital punishment in all states would significantly reduce 1st degree murder. Murdering another human being for no other reason than greed is especially despicable.

The Florida lottery doesn't allow winners to claim prizes anonymously, they really need to change that; it is madness

I agree !!!.......Horrible.......I think too If I won......I would just keep it to myself......and give some to family and friends....who knows.......but I believe that this man was decent and generous........and met with foul play......by others who were greedy and selfish ......because of what they did.......... he cannot help anyone at all.........now......

Absolutely why I would claim anonymous...you just never know.

Wow, my thoughts and prayers go out to this mans family.That is very disspointing news.

Theres still a lot of investigating to do.There is no cause of death no one knows how he was killed if a weapon was involved and what person(s) is responsible for what appears to be a murder.If this is a murder case , it's very sad indeed.More importantly it would mean there is still a cold blooded killer on the loose who may or may not strike again. Doesn't matter if the person(s) attempts to strike again... [ More ]

Police: Fla. Lotto winner buried under concrete

Lottery Post — Fri, 29 Jan 2010 03:24:20 GMT

Human remains found buried under recently added concrete at a home in Plant City, Florida, are likely those of missing lottery millionaire Abraham Shakespeare, police said Thursday.

Hillsborough County Sheriff David Gee said the body was slowly being uncovered. They are awaiting positive identification.

However, Gee said their investigation and information specifically led them to the area after they began to believe he might be dead because of sinister means and motives.
