Other than being a teensy bit slower than normal that night, I never had any problems accessing the site, you? I hope Todd made money off the extra traffic as so to offset any extra bandwidth charges he might have suffered. (to be honest, I don't know much at all about that and esp. how Todd runs his website(s)...other than I'd say he runs them well, that's about it)

For some reason I was thinking that was just a yr. ago. Time flies when you're having fun.

It goes pretty fast when yo... [ More ]

mikeintexas, The record Power Ball jackpot of $1.5 billion was won on January 13, 2016. A Wednesday night.

Todd has that date on his front page at the bottom that lists the record number of Lottery Post members and guests who visited the site that night. The time recorded is 8:16 pm.

I agree with you and say that a little bit of money in your pocket or savings account does wonders with your attitude.

Yes, it's a goodly sum of money; that's why I wrote much , comparing his win against even the starting points of the two national lotteries. I know many folks won't play the lottery until it gets on up there , 100+ million bucks. Wasn't it just a bit over a yr. ago when we were all fantasizing about winning $1.5 billion?

I think I enjoy his story so much because I identify with him in so many ways; I've been nearly as broke as he was at the time he won and we are both older guys who recent... [ More ]

James Gatzke was lucky and blessed. He won the lottery and found a true friend. His friend is a decent businessman who saw a winner in need. He did not take advantage of James. James found a fellow Chicagoan in a suburb of Chicago, IL.

The Morrisons were a couple who gained experience running a Charity before they won in Lottery. They are still living a fruitful and loving life. They live in New York.

Hey Mike: James Gatzke was one of my favorites too, the Morrison's the other. He appeared very grateful to have won. $5 million is a LOT of money, a vast improvement to a lot of people's lives, mine included.

Gatzke's story is my favorite one of them all. While he didn't win much money (something like five million) it improved his life as much if not more than any other winner I've read about. It proves me to me you don't have to win hundreds of millions to be happy.

Thank You Oneofthetrio, You have corrected me in a polite and sensitive way.

I agree that Probable Cause to seize assets must be reviewed and changed if necessary.

There are cameras everywhere these days. Did your defense lawyer use what was shown?

I have seen videos on YouTube that show Hoosier lottery officials award prizes to trusts.

The problem was that i received nothing from my brother and his wife. Even in trial they never even attempted to prove that. I didnt flash anything. All our trouble began when my uncle called the police..a month after they had the money. He then met with an overzealous lottery detective. They crafted a story which couldnt be proven or disproven. ( They said i scratched off tickets myself and found the winner and gave it to my brother..who gave it to his girlfriend.)..despite the cameras rolling

Oneofthetrio: Thank You for your story. Lesson #1. You told one too many people. Your story and others teach us to claim anonymously or as close that as possible. Do not flash your cash in public. As Alex Snelius, an elderly gentleman from Chicago, IL, says, Beware of friends and relations. He loaned money to his children and had to take them to court but they declared bankruptcy.

Lesson #2. Play Mega Millions and Power Ball.

People expect more than you are willing to give. They are JE... [ More ]

I can tell you a lottery changed my life story. The Hoosier Lottery got me, my brother, and my sister in law indicted on 45 charges after she legally purchased a 2 million dollar winner from our family store which i managed. They issued the check. Then a month later a jealous family member called the police and made up a story that id helped them find the ticket. The lottery ran their own investigation afterwards..which was biased and full of lies. They handed it over to the state..who did no fa... [ More ]

dognabit, David Lee Edwards story is very sad. I believe you are mentioning James Gatzke. He lived in the suburbs of Chicago, IL. His best friend after he won was named JR. Junior.

I view Amazon's LUCKY video. David Lee Edwards is not in it but others like James Gatzke are. I believe it is money well spent to own the video and play it anytime I want online.

Others like William Bud Post from Eastern Pennsylvania is also in Lucky. Steven and Christine White's story is also featured in Lu... [ More ]

As someone who hasn't seen the show in YEARS!!!! I often wonder what happened to those in the show. I know what became of Edwards but am curious to the fate of others. I remember one guy that was living in his deceased parent's home and after he won he had his friend(a tow truck operator I believe) manage his money.
