Probably died in committee and never made it to the full legislature for a vote.

Should New York Lottery winners have the right to remain anonymous?

Personal privacy or public accountability?

A story on a bill in the New York State legislature that would allow lottery winners to remain anonymous has generated a lot of comment today. The arguments go like this:

-- Lottery winners' names should be kept private to shield them from harassment and money grubbers.

-- Lottery winners' names should be made public to increase accountability of the lottery. If y... [ More ]

She should've formed a trust before claiming her prize. I know doing so doesn't guarantee anonymity, but it would've conferred a certain amount of privacy. I don't know why she decided to claim it outright.

I wouldn't say QP are the best choice ......

but its one less migraine then trying to choose one's own numbers

I am happy for this woman, glad she won. I guess I will be buying quick picks from now on and stop stressing over what numbers to chose....lol See Quick Picks do win, some said that they are a waste of money....which in this case proves them wrong.

Since the larger cities don't stand a chance , I would suggest that those folks drive out to the country, find a lil mom-n-pop store and purchase as many advanced draws as allowed. You know...so they can beat that rigged system.

OH YEAH,I almost forgot..make sure they do that in either CA or NY cause that will double their chances of winning..you know......cause the system is rigged .

Why are the winners of these jackpots always in small dinky towns you never heard of. That's why I feel it's rigged! The larger cities don't stand a chance.

Um, desperation has become a cruel master to most of us gamblers.

I usually hear that little voice after a really s****y day at work and I'm desperate to retire. I've been known to stop after work and buy a few extra lotto tics.

RJOh — Sat, 21 Mar 2015 02:01:10 GMT

A lot of lottery players hear that little voice especially when the jackpot exceeds $100M, that's why the jackpot grows a lot faster at that level.

CDanaT — Sat, 21 Mar 2015 01:44:10 GMT

another gut feeling to get more tickets................... Just the little voice telling you to do something,,,,never hurts to listen
