''Two Republican lawmakers''

You know why these snip s are doing this right it is because they are up for re-election. They do not care about the people they care about the votes.

Do you want proof well here you go.

What is the big deal about JoeBigLotto saying I want to be rich and famous. ?

And why can't Joe or anyone else believe if they win a major lottery jackpot it's a personal achievement

Well said Hearsetrax. Exactly the point.

By the way, I do believe there were a couple of winners that worked for their win like that older couple who set up a syndicate for that roll down game and won millions. Now that was an accomplishment!

Of course, most people would say winning the lottery was a goal if asked but one can work towards goals and set up milestones. It does not work that way with the lottery.

Have no idea why a jackpot winner couldn't say winning was personal achievements. And it sure looks like you have a goal of winning a major jackpot. Last time I looked when someone reaches a goal it's their personal achievement and why not?

I guess somebody missed the key word PERSONAL and its definition. Winning a jackpot regardless of the size is why lots of LP members say they play every drawing and some even said they would mention LP in their press conference. It sure looks like their go... [ More ]

I've never made it a secret that thars a few and many here like JBL that I'd like to see win big,

if only to watch them squirm when reality comes to haunt them for thar respective foolishness

thars been a few and many tales we've all read and made sport of the few big losers

but still some seem bent on making the same silly mistakes and thinking that thar respective outcome will be different

to one of us being the other great example of a lottery lout

JBL- Want a Beautiful Famous Grave one you can see from space? Buy some land out in Big Sky country, or Texas where land goes for a song. Get the exact measurements on the Pyramid on the Giza plateau, and build that thing. When you buy the farm, have yourself embalmed, wrapped up in cotton strips, hey you can afford it. Just remember, the Egyptian Pharoahs believed in the afterlife- so you can t take it with you. Just one thing though;it s a sad existence, being a millionaire and checking in wee... [ More ]

Pure luck. Hate to burst your sugar coated bubble. All players are equally deserving and time playing has nothing to do with it and you conceded this fact. First timers win as well. Now if you crack the code, let us know.

With your comments, you certainly would be famous for all the wrong reasons. I hope you have more going on in your life vs hoping to win a lottery just so people will acknowledge you as important.

This 24 year old has been playing since he turned 18yrs so it is had work with no guarantee on return in investment. Some people play for fifty years and never win some play for fifty years and win so it is a great achievement with lots of hard work so don't try to sugar coat this ok my best bet is to have one black security and one white security in my baby lambo security vehicles so they can decide which one to talk to the black cop or white cop lol if the cop is female only me can handle this...

I guess most of us understand winning a lottery is pure luck and random. No one views it as being achieved through hard work.

Actually it is. Number one i will build my $5 million dollar gated estate with happy white security officers am not bulls... Lol all the babes will know Joey is in control even my white security will be driving a baby lambo behind my big lambo. Don't get me wrong i don't hate black security just that it depends which neighborhood i plan to be driving beside i don't want to spend all day on police pulling us over lol have some chics to see

Lots of players want their 15 minutes of fame and considering you only invested $2 and it's your money, spend it any way you want. But lots of other people will criticize what you do.

Oh and if beating odds of over 292 million to 1 is not a personal achievement, what is

Just saw where Wisconsin had 7 Power Ball winners but never had a Mega Millions jackpot winner. If this bill is limited to just jackpot winners, it won't effect many Wisconsinites.

Winning the lottery is not a personal achievement. You would be the type of winner for which most of us would worry .

Manuel Franco's win got everybodies' attention. Now the lawmakers can improve Wisconsin.

Manuel now has enough money to protect himself and anybody else he wants too. I hope he learns from the mistakes of past winners. He ought to hire wise counsel who know these things.

So it took a major powerball winner in Wisconsin for them to see the light. This guy said he was worried about people coming up behind him. Every snip criminal now knows this guys name and address. About time for Wisconsin to do the right thing.

GOP bill would keep Wisconsin lottery winners secret

Lottery Post — Wed, 24 Apr 2019 18:28:15 GMT

Two Republican lawmakers are introducing a bill that would allow lottery winners in Wisconsin to remain anonymous.

Assembly Speaker Robin Vos and Rep. Gary Tauchen announced the bill Tuesday, about 40 minutes after Manuel Franco of West Allis appeared a Madison news conference to reveal he had won a $768 million Powerball jackpot, the third largest lottery jackpot in U.S. history.

Current state law doesn't allow lottery winners to remain anonymous. Tauchen said in a news release announcing... [ More ]
