Umm my conspiracy theory? No i don't think so and Todd last time suspended my account for posting a link and not taking that chance again.. I was merely passing on a abcnews story that was reported in IL.

LOL they still would have paid you with a check....So if you were a winner you still would have had the same problem....I hope the lottery commission isnt paying anyone out of petty cash LOL

If they can screw up how the check is printed, I'm sure they can screw up having the money.

I will always choose the 'cash' option for this reason. Give my money all up front. Just in case.

lottery will pay for any bank fees that occurred because of the checks.

at lest they cover the damage, just normal idiots in charge messing up story

however i like to add, lottery is one of must trusted ways to get paid

for instant, did u know in PB the annuity

is a contract of u and ALL the state lotteries promise to PAY u x amount

even if the treasury bills fail,they invest the money into special t bills............ the states MUST pay u,

u got not only fed govt with t

The checks got returned due to a security code not being on the check. Funds were availalbe so that is not the issue
