Anonymous or not and Witness ProtectionReply
noise-gate, One time on TruTv's World's Dumbest a pizzeria owner in Florida got into a scrape with local law enforcement. Turned out he was in Witness Protection and the name of the pizzeria was Goomba's Pizza. One of the commentator's on World's Dumbest said, Witness Protection. Goomba's Pizza. Seriously?

Are you ready for the attention?Reply
Yup, name change requests get published in a newspaper. But remember, they're published approximately 90 days BEFORE the name change order is approved. Until it is approved, no one would know why a person is changing their name - unless the winner bragged to people about it. Until a winner redeems a ticket, and assuming the winner keeps their mouth shut about winning, a person changing their name is a nobody insofar as the media is concerned. Also keep in mind that legal name change requests are

What state will win the Mega Millions jackpotReply
Exactly! Uninquiring minds prefer to engage in appeals to ridicule and ad hominems, because they virtually always lack the ability to engage in intelligent argumentation/debate. If you look at the history of lotteries and gambling in this country, the level of cheating/criminality is enormous. Lottery commission scandals are fairly common, with state governors/legislatures and law enforcement frequently having to step in. The computer age has made cheating/criminality that much easier.

Honestly would you really care how much taxes you had to pay??Reply
The banks automatically notify the authorities of any deposit over $10k. I say authorities because it's not just the IRS, but law enforcement and the FBI who also get a heads up. I'm talking from experience. After depositing my lottery check a few years back, I withdrew $25k in cash for gifts to my family. (no form required). A few days later I got a call from the state department of criminal investigations, who suspected I was up to something. Got it all straightened out.

Which states and lottery games will you play once online gambling is legal?Reply
We're on the same page Rosie. Some government or law enforcement connection (Not that there's anything wrong with that, lol). No offense four4me but you always come down on the side of the establishment and status quo on virtually everything.

where in the world would you live if you hit a jackpot?Reply
I would continue to maintain my present house and perhaps another one in a more upscale area of Chicago (would have to do that to have a suitable place to park my luxury cars...luxury cars in my current neighborhood are Mercedes, Volvos, and Lexus...my type of luxury cars are Maseratis and Bentleys). I would also purchase houses in Florida, Atlanta, and Texas so I would have places to stay in overseeing my financial service operations as well as my trucking enterprise. Retire...no way. Only l

dumb question from dumb hoosier?Reply
I read somewhere a year ago that Indiana was doing away with their 'balls' (no input please), and were going to computer 'random' generated numbers. The claim was that their old 'balls' were getting yellow and dented. Cost to much to replace. Are all Indiana's online games computer 'generated' now? Well, besides the Powerball. I read that there would be 'two' 'random' computers picking the numbers. There for, no chance of cheating? I will never play a 'computer generated' game. Even though I k

Ca. Lottery helps felon steal ticket.
A Clerk stole my draw ticket. She said it was not a winner, then changed it one dollar after I wanted my ticket back. She then walked over to the other Clerks register got a dollar and dropped it on the counter. She could not use her own register (the one used for all the Lottery transactions) because she just slid my ticket into the right side corner after opening it two inches and trying to hide it. Then would not talk or look at me. A couple days later i was able to find the Retailer. We had
