Indiana man says store cost him $11.5M lottery jackpotReply
A spokeswoman for the Hoosier Lottery said retailers can set their own hours for selling and redeeming lottery tickets as long as they cut off sales by 10:40 p.m. It's up to the individual retail location, Lucia Anderson said. Josh Brown, another of Andrews' lawyers, said the law isn't explicit. There is no statute addressing the retail hours and whether they can set it or not set it, he said. Brown noted that the contract between the lottery agency and retailers requires stores to

Piqua lottery winners sued by co-workersReply
Well from my limited knowledge of the court tv shows, which are just minor sums of money in comparison. The judge usually only awards court costs if the people have a real reason to sue. Like, they don't bear any of the burden at all. Most recent example was a woman who was hit by a car that backed up to try to get to a gas station when it ran out of gas, but she was crossing in the middle of the street instead of at a cross walk so she was found 30% at fault. Could be wrong, but the judge doesn

Piqua lottery winners sued by co-workersReply
Another office pool, another lawsuit. It seems a bit unlikely that the people in the pool would refuse them their share if this was a legit case. The pool even had no problem with 1 person getting two shares, because he put an extra dollar in for his mom. That would make it seem clear that the pool required you to actually put in 1 dollar per share for a given drawing. Also, since these people each put in a dollar for this pool, any winnings that did roll over would give the other 4 a s

what exactly is meant by forming a trust?Reply
Good question. Trust for what? There are about 100 different types of trusts and most are for asset protection. The best contact would be an estate attorney who might also work with a financial planner. AFAIK only an attorney can set up a Trust. Since trusts are usually regulated by state law, the rules aren't always the same. I was told by a very reliable source that if you don't have one, the state might decide what to do with your house, bank account and any other assets like your car, especi

Paranoid or Prudent?Reply
@phileight: I would encourage you to do a bit of research on scandals yourself. I didn't go into great detail because of time and space. To address your point...you are at least partially correct...none of the scandals I mentioned were directly related to blocking numbers so no one would win. However... 1. In the Foreman scandal in Indiana the game was rigged so that friends of Mr. Foreman (a Hoosier Lottery Security Guard) would purchase the winning ticket. By default that means someb

$75M Texas Lotto jackpot claimed by business partnershipReply
Pumpi, First of all, I agree with the other comments that the LLC was probably created AFTER winning the lottery. It's jsut a guess, but I've seen this before. There are many ways of investing your money wisely and forming a Trust and/or LLC are 2 of them. Deep inside for 1 year now i was praying deep inside of me for this to never happen Second, what difference does it make who wins the lottery, as long as it is fair random? What you are saying is that only poor people can play.

Quik Pic observations from a new LP member...Reply
So what you are saying is, if other pickers have the same tendencies, is that you will seed it falsely, or try to, before Joe Schmoe, (in other words maybe someone like moi) uses it, to prevent sharing jackpots or them benefitting from your chosen numbers if they turn out to be well founded in the draw? What happens if you do that and it HELPS the other person out to win it, despite that not being your original intent? Obviously, most doing so would never know for sure. Consider the GA tru

I am going to try to change the rules about annonymity...Reply
Delaware offers corporations, too. This is one of the things you learn living in Nevada - if a person takes out a safety deposit box at a bank, Uncle Sam can go into that box if they want to, for settling an estate or whatever. If the same person forms a Navada corporation (or any) and takes out the box in the name of the coporation, only an 'officer' from the corporation (i.e., that person) can get into tha box. ____________________________________________ Re: anonymity.

N.J. Lottery players question logic of shutdownReply
It was done to bypass the Checks and Balances of Government. The system of checks and balances is an important part of the Constitution. With checks and balances, each of the three branches of government can limit the powers of the others. This way, no one branch becomes too powerful. Each branch "checks" the power of the other branches to make sure that the power is balanced between them. How does this system of checks and balances work? The process of how laws are made is a good example
