$1.35 billion Mega Millions lottery winner suing mother of his child for revealing win to familyReply
This case may show us exactly the level of anonymity one gets with a major lottery win. I assume lottery officials must be bound by some sort of employment agreement for lottery winners. The IRS knows. But what about others who had no legal right to know? I would be furious as well. As others have mentioned, make up a story about an inheritance. Some people have no class and will ask personal financial questions. I always act concerned and ask if they are having money issues and will help them f

One ticket sold in Florida is sole winner of $1.58 billion Mega Millions jackpotReply
Why do people who keep getting divorced keep getting married? Because of addiction to love. I am addicted to gambling; No one is perfect, I know my issues. I am not the one to be conspiratorial but I have studied and played the lottery for a long time. I have seen so many things that have put the lottery both PB and MM in a negative light that if 10 years from now they say that the lottery has been rigged all along i wouldn't be surprised 1 iota. I also would like to believe that the lottery is

Am pretty sure they will be - good thing is they will never know. It's like the preacher whose sermon is all about gambling ain't right. But when a congregant wins, they can give 10% tithe and the good Lord will take it

Maryland player wins $50,000 in Pick 5 for the fifth time this yearReply
Good Point taken Artist My 25 years of gaming experience has taught me, no game provider will permit a consistent player advantage because in thier mind that wouldn't be gambling; usually they will blantly change the game rules as they did when the MIT Black Jack team broke the code in LV

New $50 Massachusetts Lottery ticket offers "unprecedented" top prize of $1 million a year for lifeReply
I don't know if i'll ever spend even $20 dollars for a scratchoff. I feel sorry for those with gambling addictions. I once paid $10 dollars for a scratchoff and when it showed $20 dollars, I was mad because i'd only won $10. I've probably bought $10 dollar scratchoffs only once or twice since then.

Michigan woman scoops $25,000 a year for life after playing Lucky for Life for the first timeReply
That is the worst feeling when your #'s come in and you didn't play. many years ago driving home from a 12 hour there it was in front of me--018, first three of my SSAN. Had warm fuzzies, did not play and it came in. Loved your comment on lottery getting rich having multiple drawings daily.

$1.76 billion Powerball jackpot won by one ticket sold in CaliforniaReply
The good ole bingo hall days .. oh the memories. The powers that be would purposefully serve baked beans every other Thursday evening. Come to find out years later .... The serving of the beans was to weed out the bingo folks from the hardcore gamblers. The police detail left with all the bingo folks due to the poor ventilation. Out comes the industrial fan and then the gambling began.

Winner of $95 million Lotto Texas lottery jackpot gamed the odds to winReply
the jackpot would actually be worth $57.8 million. ... there is a top federal income tax rate of 37%. That cuts the cash value amount to around $36.4 million.
