Question for someone in ChicagoReply
fourforme Thanks for the info! I've played the same ticket twice before, so maybe, maybe it was something like that but still odd. Good forever it was that it hit. Twice. RE: Lottery retailers. There was a law in California that to be a lottery outlet you had to be in business, at the same location for five years. Then when the Nevada casino industry decided the Nevada- California border on I-15 was a good place for more casinos, the Primm family put one right on the state

Which way would work best?Reply
Whatever state you're a resident of gets to collect income tax on all of your taxable income, assuming that state has an income tax. Any state is entitled to collect income tax on any income earned in that state, again, assuming that state has an income tax. If you win with a ticket from a state you don't live in and that state does have an income tax you'll definitely be paying income tax to that state. Most states (probably all, but I'm not positive), will give you a full credit for the tax

Which way would work best?
Long time lurker, first time poster. It was a bummer for me this morning. I bought Mega Millions tickets in Idaho and Washington. None of mine were the big winners. I recently moved to Idaho near the Washington state line. I moved here from Las Vegas because of my job. I have kept my Nevada drivers license, I will eventually move back. Immediately upon jackpot win, LOL. I've tried to figure which way would be best for when I win :). Should I be buying my tickets in Washington (no state

New State LotteriesReply
Utah - No, Mormons Alabama - Very doubtful Alaska and Wyoming - Population not enough to generate any mentionable jackpots? Hawaii- No- Yakuza, they ruin all the illegal games already and don't want any competiton Nevada - No, the casinos see a lottery as a threat. Mississippi - For right now, no. Same thinking as Nevada, but how many Mississippi dollars go across state lines for lotto (that's what finally made Tennesse give in - Tennesseans crossing state lines to plat l

DC Raffle Sales...Not Too Good!Reply
Todd EriciinMD asked in the OP what we thought of raffles. So I told him, sorry I didn't make something up that a state lottery selling raffle tickets could have used as a great marketing ploy, maybe downplay the fact that we're looking at a $20 shot to win $1 million as oppossed to a $1 shot to win tens or hundreds of millions. Numbers games don't limit lower tier prizes. The only way anyone can approach any form of gambling is to consider the money gone as soon as they turn it into

Breaking Las Vegas: Could it happen to the lotto..Reply
Trying, yes. Isn't that what a lot of people are doing here? Already cracked the lotto? Very doubtful. I someone did and could do it at will then they are showing an enormous amount of self discipline and restraint. pumpi- I have no doubt that some of these break the casinos shows on A E and Discovery aren't in fact sponsored by the casinos themselves to drum up business. Everuy year the Nevada Gaming Commission puts out a report on cheaters it has caught and on any new devices

You can buy a lot of rope for that kind of money. Hookers are already legal, in the great state of Nevada. More for the rope. Great idea. The death sentance used to be public, and kept crime down.

online lottery playingReply
This is a snippet of a piece I read on online gambling:------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ It's currently a very gray area...Some officials say it's against the law to wager over the Internet or telephone. Others say the illegal part is the gambling operation itself, if it's set up on U.S. soil -- which is why Web sites operate offshore in places such as the Caribbean, Latin America and Australia. An

State taxes - my experienceReply
If the state the ticket is purchased in allows tickets to be claimed as a trust, the state you live in couldn't tax the winnings as long as business relating to the trust aren't performed there. So the winning state would need to accept trust claimants and have no tax on winnings. Theres an article this week in the New Yorker about how the Getty family avoids 100s of millions of dollars in California taxes by having a trust in Nevada and doing exactly that.

Do you have any weird lottery superstitions?Reply
All the Australians and MIT was groups did was pit an end to group play and team play. This also happened when Nevada casinos put in Mega Bucks progressive slot machines. At first it was a little odd to see the jackpots progress when there was no one in the casino playing those slots but hey were all set up so that if anyone anywhere in the state played one of those machines the jackpot went up.
