£84.4M Euro Millions lottery jackpot claimed anonymouslyNews Story
If you see someone looking incredibly smug in the next few days, this could be the reason. The winner of last week's 84.4 million (US$122.7 million) Euro Millions jackpot came forward on Sunday but has decided to remain anonymous. It is not even known whether they are a man, woman or a syndicate. By choosing to keep their identity secret, the record-breaking winner is likely to avoid the pleas that inevitably flood in to those who declare their wins. But with such an enormous sum of

How a group of MIT students gamed the Massachusetts LotteryNews Story
Even within a university as famously offbeat as the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Random Hall has a reputation for being a little quirky. According to campus legend, the students who first lived there in 1968 wanted to call the dorm Random House until the publishing house with that same name sent them a letter to object. The individual floors have names, too. One is called Destiny, a result of its cash-strapped inhabitants selling the naming rights on eBay; the winning bid was $36 from

Bill would allow Texas Lottery winners to pay for anonymityReply
Seems to me that in a way it sounds like a sort of Protection Racket : http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Protection+Racket A business combination of extortion schemes controlled by a criminal syndicate. For the promise of security, significant sums of money are seized from persons, businesses, communities, or even nations. ---------- Protection Racket : Extortion schemes for the promise of security, significant sums of money are seized from persons. -----------

Ohio Classic Lotto goes more than 2 years without winnerReply
This game has an EV after taxes of almost 2.00 that is money won after lump and taxes vs odds. This is a jackpot that should be played by all those in Ohio instead of PB or MM. I am shocked that this lottery only averages a few hundred thousand per draw. I am going to Ohio before Easter. I think it is time to get a lottery post syndicate together to bring this baby down! 5 of us $100 each. Who is in?

Record Powerball jackpot won by 1 ticketReply
REDHOT 7 U and another Poster who wrote about the Trailer Community made excellent points regarding the winners. It's possible that a group may have pooled their funds and purchased the 1 winning ticket. I seriously doubt that Jack Wittaker is into the lottery anymore after all the trageties he has endured, especially as he has lost his family. But you and the other Poster might be right in your suggestions. I am simply glad that no syndicate won the jackpot. They spend hundreds and hu

Mass. Lottery knew about exploited game's flaws for years, IG saysReply
It's obvious lottery agents were involved ( Everything is very organized and runs smoothly, wrote Marino, who mentioned that the owners of both stores were part of the Michigan betting club.) and the officials knew that something was going on when a store averaging $10,000 in sales had over $600,000 in sales when the roll down started. Especially when they knew exactly what was going on for years and even seemed to cooperate on not informing the public when a rolldown was happening. That

Wow!!! they should of listen to the last winner he advised them to remain anonymous.... Meanwhile, a man who won 26.1m in a family syndicate in January 2010, has urged the Euromillions winner to stay anonymous. George Sturt, 77, who split the money four ways with his three children, said he had had hundreds of begging letters since he went public and regrets doing so now. https://www.lotterypost.com/news/234047

The man who won the lottery 14 times (part 1)News Story
Just after 11 PM on February 15, 1992, a lottery ball machine at the Virginia State Lottery HQ spit out 6 winning numbers on live television: 8... 11... 13... 15... 19... 20.

Local media reported last summer that a few gamblers with an extraordinary knowledge of math and probability had found a quirk in Cash WinFall shortly after it was introduced in 2004, allowing them to make an almost guaranteed profit as long as they purchased enough tickets at the right time. There are hundreds of posters on LP that believe they found quirks in almost every lottery game including scratch-offs. All the lotteries are keeping at least a 40% of there total ticket sales so while
