Fake Instagram account offers phony Florida Lottery giveaways
Includes video report
The Florida Lottery is warning players about social media scams and fake accounts offering money and other prizes.
Florida resident Jason Farmer received a message from what he thought was the Florida Lottery Instagram account.
Next thing they're telling me 'well we have this promotion that we're giving way $500,000 and a new truck.' So at that very moment I really thought it was likely a scam, Farmer said.
It was just an account with a similar name and similar

Bill would allow Texas Lottery winners to pay for anonymity
It is not a good deal. With family, friends and social media, people will find out and the media will find you. Then you'll have more publicity and 5% less money to hide in seclusion.
I wonder if they give you the 5% back if you are outed.

Virginia woman wins $50,000 Pick 5 prize on first-ever lottery ticket
I thought there was one a few months ago also. It could be an attention grab to say that. They way she is holding that fake check is a cry out for attention. A social media thing that I fail to get I guess. She's going to get 34k. Nothing to sneeze at but it can go quick. This game is basically a 10.00 pik 4. I'm not running out and trying to get an exact order 5 digit number out of 100,000 possibilities with a 50% takeout.
