Heads up for users of the PA lottery mobile app.Reply
Just got something weird on the PA Lottery app. I bought 2 of the new $100 Blowout scratchers and did them in the car. Neither one appeared to be a winner but I didn't feel like taking them back into the retailer to check. Scanned them on the app when I got home and both are saying TAKE TICKET TO A LOTTERY RETAILER. I've never seen that message before. It's always been Sorry, not a winner or Congratulations you won $X. I scanned an old Pick4 losing ticket to see if it was saying take all tickets

Update on the PA Lottery app. Bought 2 of the new $5 100 Blowouts yesterday and the app said TAKE TICKET TO RETAILER even though they looked like losers. So I took them to the the place I bought them and asked the clerk about it. She said I was third person this morning to ask that question. Apparently the app doesn't like the new scratchers and says TAKE TO RETAILER whether they are winners or losers. Older tickets aren't affected just the ones that came out this week. Way to go, PA!

Florida and Claiming a Jackpot Anonymously
There's something fluky/crazy that I think is kind of interesting that could actually happen in Florida with a second place PowerBall win of either a million (or more) dollars. In Florida, if you win more than $250,000 in any Florida lottery game, you can claim your winnings and remain anonymous, but only for six months! That's per Florida Statute 24.1051 On it's website, The Florida Lottery publishes a PDF file/report called Jackpot Winners Retailers Information . If you win a jac

I am getting harassed by family over a $5,000 lottery win. :(Reply
It depends on where you win... in PA, they can pay out up to $2,500 (usually by check) at a retailer, you are responsible for the taxes on your own. They only jump in and take taxes on a win over $2,500... and on a big prize they do not take the full amount you will owe... for instance on a PB or MM jackpot, they will withold 24%, you may owe up to 37%. When I go after a prize, I multiply by 0.559 to see how much I would end up with after 37% federal and 3.08% flat state tax.

my idea for a multi-state lotteryReply
At the dollar rate, that provides the lottery with a 28% margin. But at the five dollar rate (buy 5, get 6 lines), it shrinks to 15%. That's tough when they have to pay the retailer a 7% commission.
