online poll....will H.R. 411 become law?Reply
To my knowledge there are statutes on the books federally stemming from racketeering laws enacted in the 30's that prohibits the US mail from carrying any lottery materials across state lines which is why even winning tickets sent through the mail seems to be a gray area. I believe that statute prohibits even play slips or other enticements being sent through the mail. Believe there was one change to those laws under Clinton but am not clear as to what it was. Our Georgia legislature is

Mailing lottery tickets ?Reply
Title 18 of the U. S. Postal Code was adopted in 1956 as a measure against organized crime and certain money-laundering schemes they used to legitimize the money they earned in illegal activities. With the conviction of Al Capone in 1931, the IRS began taking a very active part in lobbying for this type of federal legislation.

Rainbow,You certainly do not make it very clear. That is why I am suspicious. For example, you wrote that $110 was put in the pool and 56 tickets were bought. It cost $112 to buy 56 Lotto 649 tickets. Where did the extra $2 come from?You also wrote that the pool organizer is a lottery retailer and is making money on the 3% redemption. I checked with the Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation and they confirmed that retailers get 3% of redemptions. But retailers are limited on the size of prize t

Proposed Buffett Rule and How It Would Apply to Some Lottery Winners Who InvestReply
Not necessarily. IMO, we shouldn't encourage or discourage any behavior with the tax code, or any other legislation. Most investments don't have a much higher EV than a few percent. Most people just want to ignore the potential of loss, and/or don't do the math necessary to determine a proper amount to invest. Every investment has risk, even treasury bonds. An expected value of 101-105% per year, is probably the norm for most good investments, because you have to figure, then CAN lose mone
