Wants to be left alone haha. If I ever won a huge jackpot I might just be tempted to say Yeah, now I'd like to become a major international celebrity and have my own reality TV show

Went looking for this story M, and it turns out that this article on the Boer brothers is from Feb 2016. The Calottery had them posted on their page l thought it was a recent story. Giving them a plug, l guess. Win something this weekend, you hear

noise-gate, That is persistence. Is the story on www.calottery.com? Same numbers for five years. Did they ever miss a draw? Did the numbers have any meaning for the two brothers?

$7,000,000.00 - 40% = $4,200,000.00 split two ways = $2,100,000.00 each. How much did they bet?

Good Luck to all LP Members and Staff

Music* - side note. DId you catch that bit about those two brothers in CA that won a $7 mil SLP jackpot. Thing is: They have been playing the same #'s for 5 years, and finally hit pay dirt. Talk about persistence

The upside to your post Redd55, is that you only have to do it ONCE, at the very least.Try counting how many years you have spent hunched over filling out playslips..

No media interviews, no photos, good legal and financial advisers. Smart move. Helps keep the scammers and gimme, gimme, types away.

Sometimes I think people really believe what they post, and that is scary

Your team of advisers will help protect your assets, insure you against liabilities, guide you as you invest, do your taxes, create a living revocable trust, and be the bad cop to your good cop routine. Saying, NO to all those who will beg, plead, cry, scream until you give them some of your winnings.

All winners should expect to be hit up for loans, gifts, etc. Family and friends will be the worst. Keep it all at a business level.

You are now the Dictator of your game and everyone else... [ More ]

Really, I gotta wonder why someone would join a lottery forum and post stuff like that.

Internal connivance; possibly. Syndicate collusion; has been known to happen. Compadre intrigue; most certainly. However, fake winners (as in names just made up) in state sponsored gaming; just ain't going to happen.

I think he means us, Cassie.

Ugh. You have to find, interview, and hire a team of advisers. Then you have to work closely with them. It sounds like another job. I just want to be left alone, relaxing by my pool at my compound. No interviews or photos for me, just a written statement that says: Trespassers will be shot

with you noise-gate. I need to work on my written statement. I will include being a member of Lottery Post USAMEGA.

I will request minimal publicity also. The California Lottery has brightened my day when they have helped winners protect themselves and their family from the crazies and the press.

The Lucky retailer gets one million dollars! That is not the case in every State.

Here in California, the winner has to wait eight and a half weeks from the time of claiming to get the chec... [ More ]

Lottery Post — Thu, 20 Jul 2017 12:11:20 GMT

The winner of the 10th largest lottery jackpot in U.S. history has finally come forward to claim their prize, more than a month after winning the $447.8 million Powerball lottery jackpot.

The winner, Jeff Lindsay, did not wish to speak with the media after claiming his prize Wednesday and declined to take a winner's photo. However, California state law requires the name of jackpot winners to be released.

Lindsay did say he was excited to have won the prize, which he opted to take as a lump... [ More ]
