One crime committed against a lottery winner is one too many.

This is from the article in News about Georgia allowing players to remain anonymous;

Georgia joins Delaware, Kansas, Maryland, North Dakota, Ohio, South Carolina, and Texas as states that allow winners to remain anonymous. Arizona has a limited shield law that shields lottery winners' identities for 90 days after they claim their prizes.

That's a good one noise-gate. Let's see: AL MS no lottery=Bible Belt; AK HI don't know; NV=forbidden by their constitution--think Casinos; UT=No, Mormons ruling the roost.

Not an Anti-semite, just using my late Dad's saying 'I call it as I see it.' LOL Everyone have a great day and big winnings

Congratulations to Mr. Anderson on winning this jackpot. That was the 2nd Lotto America jackpot winning ticket in the year 2018. I thought there was going to be only 1 Lotto America jackpot winning ticket this year but I was wrong. Thank you Mr. Anderson of Iowa for winning this one

Hey bleugo101,

That a good one!

Stating (if RNG and MEMORY serves me correctly) in the same sentence.

Since RNG is not truly random and the memory can be altered.

FREE Money!! Except Uncle Sam wants his share. Plus Iowa.

Enjoy it and it is smart to consult with a financial adviser.

Wise man: ' I won't believe it til the money is in the bank'.

The man is sensible.

Sounds like he has his act together.

Best part is the free ticket and not an RNG game if memory serves me correctly.

Mr. Anderson chose to receive his prize as the lump-sum amount of about $2.6 million.

$2.6 million less 37% federal and 5% Iowa taxes nets around $1.5 million.

$1.5 million invested in VWEAX returns around $6,000 monthly dividends before taxes.
