Yes my fault. Partnership and put in writing. Get as much commission and stay out of business operations. As long as the location is doing fine find other places and do a major partnership.

Powerball winners have cause for thanksReply
Cash,I think that is an option for all lotteries that allow cash option/annuity choices at claiming (as opposed to at purchase). The IRS regs say that a winner has 60 days from time of claiming to declare which they choose (or else it is assumed for taxes that they took the lump sum).

Lottery Vendors Object to Tenn.-Georgia PartnershipReply
I am in favor of the partnership myself. the lottery would start much earlier and make more money..The 4 vendors who are against the partnership are sore losers. They want absolute control. I personally feel that they are against the checks and balances in the Georgia system. In other words I feel as if the 4 vendors win, there is room for hanky panky which is not so easy if a sister state is looking over their shoulders.

Lottery Vendors Object to Tenn.-Georgia PartnershipReply

However, unsaid in the article (but probably strongly implied in the letter) is the strong probability of a lawsuit or lawsuits if the partnership goes through.Come on TN, wake up and smell the load of s that GA is feeding you!
