The man who won the lottery 14 times (part 2)Reply
The state lotteries own the terminals and basically decided their retailers can't tie up a terminal for hours or days for one customer. it prevents a coordinated effort. The Aussie syndicate had 72 hours to purchase over 7 million combinations using play slips with probably 5 lines each and still only managed to get 78% of the combos. Lottery rules aren't their problem, logistics is. Most lotto games now have around 14 million combos making the purchasing them all basically impossible.

Austrailian lottery pool members believe co-worker kept $16.6m jackpot to himselfNews Story
Members of a Victoria, Australia, lottery pool are taking Tattersalls Sweeps to court, alleging a former colleague kept a $16.6 million lottery win to himself.

$550 MILLION: Powerball jackpot now more than a half-billion dollarsReply
Looks like we're the same on this point. Having more than one winner just makes it so anticlimatic. Especially when I see this huge syndicate win and they only walk away with like 300k per person, that's so lame imo. I wonder when we'll be able to see 5 billion and 10 billion jackpots 8D

UK shopkeeper guilty of lottery fraudReply
The term lottery syndicate makes these players sound so ominous like the mob or gangsters. I like the term lottery pool because I think of fun in the sun in a swimming pool. That's were you will be if you win the jackpot. Partying in the POOL!!! The article also mentions the missing ticket being screwed-up. I think that better describes the thief shopkeeper. And, what does that mean anyways? Was the ticket crumpled up, altered, ripped, or something else?

Iowa Lottery director: 50-50 that Hot Lotto mystery will be solvedReply
They usually have loose lips, Rich said. Maybe they showed it to someone (who) took the ticket and said, 'Good-bye,' and disposed of that person. Still another theory centers around a ticket purchased illegally through an international syndicate with the parties walking away from the jackpot rather than answer the Lottery's questions. These two seems more realistic to me. How about the person being a wealthy new Yorker who is evading taxes? I feel that they will find out eventually.
