U.S. Postal Service worker pleads guilty after caught stealing cash and lottery tickets from mailReply
Been a couple of years ago from Grand Jury duty. The DA told us the reason they seek maximum here in Shelby County, KY was for two reasons. 1) 'they' will always seek a plea deal. 2) If you do not seek the maximum, you are not allowed to go into court and up the ante, only what's presented in the courtroom. She said we could take notes, and go to the office down the road if we want to check the status of cases. One case became Federal and wish I could remember the perps name. We had one RICO

DC man sues the lottery after incorrect numbers posted on website would have won him $340 millionReply
Most up to date info on this case. Looks like he was granted his request to file an amended complaint which is pretty much routinely granted. Powerball filed a motion to dismiss in January and it looks like this motion is on the calendar for May. So the case should be dismissed at that point. I am sure he will appeal to the appellate court as before. There are pdfs for all the pleadings. https://portal-dc.tylertech.cloud/app/RegisterOfActions/#/5A03F66E68C8F904ADEA594C890F08F24114A78DA2D

Did some research. This appears to be the same guy, I think. https://ballotpedia.org/John_C._Cheeks He also sued a woman for libel and failed to serve her. Dismissed. Also sued a builder when they wanted payment. Looks like he was ordered to pay. https://caselaw.findlaw.com/court/us-dc-circuit/1940773.html Look what he alleged. Sound familiar ???? Conspiracy??? Racketeering????

Texas Lottery pays out largest jackpot in state history with $360 million Mega Millions claimReply
Regardless of where I live i would set up a trust in South Dakota. Not only for tax reasons but because it is the hardest place for anyone to get any info about a trust. In most states if you want to bad enough you can go through the court system for info and to sue a trust. South Dakota courts will tell you to pound sand. The states whole industry is the privacy laws protecting trust. So if someone wants to say you owe them money, they won't get it from a trust administered in South d

"Lottery Lawyer" Jason Kurland sentenced to prison after defrauding winners of over $100 millionReply
Kurland wont do all 13 years of his sentence and what ever time he actually does do will be spent at a minimum security Federal Detention Center for white collar criminals. (aka Club Fed ) Restitution will be a joke. He doesn't have that kind of money and wont ever have millions again. And where's the court appointed trustee trying to clawback some of the money that belonged to the people that were scammed? The article makes no mention of anything like that. It does mention forfeiture of 64
