Widow and daughter will split estate of poisoned $1 million lotto winnerReply
That doesn't sound right, I think you may have been misinformed. I've only had limited experience with our own lottery customer service here in CA, but when I did I was not impressed. Sounded like I was calling into the DMV in Da Hood or something. Yappy and rude, and email inquiries take forever or are just ignored. I wouldn't take any answer I get from the front lines at face value. But anyway, I assume she meant to say you had to form the trust before claiming or signing the ticket. Tha

lf you won the Big One:Would you have the stones to tell the rest of us so- Y/N?Reply
I'd honestly think about it. It almost feels like I have the responsibility to share the hope if I were to win say 15million+ hard cash (no annuity/tax BS). BUT I'd have to make absolute certain of my anonymity first. Maybe change my name before claiming then change it back afterwards, move, then wait a few months after the excitement dies down, then I might try to reveal myself here. The hard part is proving that I did win some lottery without giving too much evidence into which

$50 million lottery winners outed by spiteful letter to new neighborsNews Story
A $50 million lottery winner in Adelaide, South Australia, was the target of a spiteful letter outing him to his new neighbors, and he says he has an idea of who produced it. A leaflet style letter giving in-depth details of the former North Haven family's spending since they had a $50 million windfall in an Australian Powerball draw last August was dropped in dozens of letterboxes surrounding the family's new beachside mansion last week. [Although it has the same name, Powerball in Australia

N.J. lottery winners would get one year of anonymity under bill sent to governorReply
I got a phone call one day from a man with an Indian accent stating he worked for the lottery claims department. I suppose he wanted to verify/obtain a few things. First tip off was the accent. Next was the pressure to make sure he was speaking to the person he called for...me. (at times even cutting me off mid-sentence) Next was the name: Bobby Benjamin. huh? He had the correct area code for Headquarters..turns out the number didn't work to call back though. I had the number f

Could someone please explain the Ghana Lottery to me? I know it is a pick 5/90 game. I know that there is a 5/90 game for Monday thru Saturday. How is this game played? Is the Ghana 5/90 Lottery played like the pick 5 lotteries in the U.S.? I know there are winning numbers and machine numbers. What does the machine numbers mean? Does the jackpot roll over?

Claiming Anonymously and keeping your winnings! (a paranoid approach)Reply
Hi All, Thanks for the warm welcome! And I apologize for the length. But as a longtime lurker this has been a really great community and I really appreciate the welcome from everyone. Yes it is a bit long, I think I might have had a bit too much KY Bourbon, Ridge...ha! And I don't blame you, if I were you I might have had to crack open some Beam before rolling over that post. Artist77 brings up a good point so I thought I'd go ahead and add this here. I'm not a lawyer and, unfortunately (n

My state of South Carolina allows you to remain anonymous BUT if some news reporter or a very nosey person wants to know who actually won a lottery prize then they can request it because: The South Carolina Freedom of Information Act provided under Chapter 4, Title 30, of the Code of Laws of South Carolina is a series of laws designed to guarantee that the public has access to public records of governmental bodies inSouth Carolina. Which includes the S.C. Lottery Commission and below is
