Bill would allow Texas Lottery winners to pay for anonymityReply
Correction: my cough insinuation up there is about a U.S. Congress rep. from Texas. She was just the first one I thought of when I was searching my brain for idiotic thoughts from politicians.

One of our fellow LPers has an excellent signature line that speaks to this. I think its Maringoman. I stand open to correction!

Idaho's biggest lottery winner knew he would winReply
Just a correction to my own reply, it is also not an option when you get 5+0 to win $1,000,000 with Powerball. Just the standard $2/ticket.

Colorado newspaper prints wrong lottery results; couple thought they wonReply
They must have told more than a few people for it to become a news story (must be a slow news week, too). Around here, when the paper gets the numbers wrong, they print a correction -- there's no follow-up interviewing the thought-we-won's.

Possible winner of $258 million Mega Millions lottery jackpot foundReply
Thanks for the correction Todd. I really didn't know they didn't get you at both ends on taxes. I will read up on that. For the record, I'm not a tax lawyer, but I was simply ignorant on the no state taxes in some states. That amazes me. I better stick to criminal law. Thanks again and I will read up on those sites

$205 Million:" Mega Millions Lottery JackpotReply
Lotterymania has hit the office where I work. I run some regular pools with around 14 members that play every drawing. Now that the jackpot is huge, that number has swelled to more than 50. As I walk thru the office today people are begging me to take their money and let them in the pool - and I will!!! I like looking through lots of tickets searching for that 1 in a million... correction... 1 in 135 million chance at the big money!

Florida LLC revealed to have claimed $1.6 billion Mega Millions lottery jackpotReply
Correction, they did know enough to use a service as the RA. The guy is actually an AMBR which IMO is worse. Why not just get a lawyer to be an AP, because an AP can file docs with the state and not be an actual member of the LLC. We do not know if he is the winner, but in listing him as an AMBR, we know that he is a member of the LLC which owns these funds and therefore one can assume he has strong ties to the winner. He's a loose thread which didn't have to be there.
