Lottery rigging accomplice used Wisconsin payout for offshore tax scamNews Story
After Robert Rhodes collected a Wisconsin Lottery jackpot that had been rigged by his friend Eddie Tipton, he used the windfall for an investment scheme that produced another wave of undeserved government money, court records show.

$1M winning lottery ticket sold in Wisconsin goes unclaimedNews Story
The Powerball ticket could be at the bottom of a garbage can. Or wedged into a glove compartment. Perhaps it went through the laundry, never to be seen again.

Arkansas Lottery begins todayReply
Too bad their local online games will use the RNG...Arkansas should learn from Indiana and Tennessee's mistake in that regard. I won't spend a cent on Indy Lotto no matter how big the jackpot is, but I will buy their Powerball tickets as their game slip gives one an option not available in Wisconsin...the ability to pick the few numbers you feel like playing and letting the machine pick the rest in the field of 5 + 1. That might explain why Indiana has so many more Powerball winners than Wiscons

Wisconsin factory workers win $208M Powerball lotteryReply
I'm guessing Wisconsin will make the winners all go one way or the other. I don't think the group wants to take over the record for the largest prize paid as an annuity (which was set by a Wisconsin couple 13 years ago).
