CA SuperLotto slow-build 6 monthsReply
But what about that makes it illegal you are still getting the tickets from a retailer of sorts and I can make the same point as @think Regardless of all that and even tho the sales are up by quite a bit the jackpot keeps growing 1M at a time and I have actually just out of curiosity called the lottery and asked and they couldn't give me an answer as to why this is. This game is exhausting

Has a large jackpot winning ticket ever been soldReply
Not surprised that a large jackpot winner was sold in a Publix located in Florida. Seems to me like there is a Publix on every corner in Florida with new ones being built everywhere. Publix is the largest lottery retailer in the state, and Florida has the 3rd biggest population in The USA. G5

Joining a lottery club?Reply
Okay, so that's the answer. The retailer can print a QP with an annuity but the self service terminals only print CVO. G

cashing large winning lottery ticketsReply
It really depends on your state lottery cashing policies. In Ohio after validating tickets valued over $600 at a retailer they use designated banks for payment. In KY they use Cashing Agents that will pay up to $5000 but if you make arrangements, with them, you could get the entire $15,000 the same or next day. Call your state lottery. You'll get a W-2G for federal and any state taxes too,

Has anyone ever received a winning lottery check at their job?Reply
And I'm pretty sure that in these sting operations the lottery is targeting retailers that have been the subject of multiple complaints by players. It's not a good use of resources to just randomly sample retailers to check their honesty. There has to be smoke. I think Karentasha should download her lottery's app so she can check her tickets herself and stop worrying so much about getting conned by a shady retailer.

The $29.95 Non-BelieverzReply
Sometimes a bunch of different lottery retailers are clustered within walking distance of each other. Is that the case with the store you usually buy your tickets at? I have a superstition about that too. Also it's not necessarily true that all lottery terminals are the same. If a retailer recently got their equipment fixed or upgraded, that will affect the pseudorandom number generator in the machine that generates quick picks.

Would you "bless" the deli?Reply
State Legislators or Congress should take care of this with a new law. Instead of giving the Retailer a Bonus for Selling the winning Jackpot Numbers only, they should get a percentage of every winning ticket they sell. That way they could codify the Entitlement. It is not like there isn t enough money in the game. When you only get about 40% of what they call the Jackpot there is plenty to go around. It might cost the Government a little tax revenue, but they could make that up by placing a sha

Lawyer Reccomends NOT To Sign Ticket??Reply
For me it depends on the amount you're comfortable claiming under your own name. I got sneak peak on the Winners Retailer Information for the last $1.580 billion mega-millions winner from Atlantic Beach. Don't ask me how. That prize was claimed by an individual in Atlantic Beach, FL. The named is register to an ER Physician with the zip code. The rich keep getting richer as they say. But he claimed that monstrous prize in his own name. If I wanted to claim as a Trust to maintain anonymous I

No More Self Pick Play Slips AcceptedReply
It's hard, if not impossible, to cancel tickets in Michigan because about 20 years ago cashiers in metro Detroit were printing the tickets and then cancelling them and pocketing the money for themselves. This happened to me and I found out about it because I never got paid on a $5 win back then. At the time I did not understand why the store wasn't cashing my ticket and found out way later that I had been scammed. I believe I won a prize on a Lucky Lines ticket up here and the cashier scanne
