Beginning Dec. 31, a new law will take effect requiring the Connecticut Lottery Corporation to deduct delinquent taxes, crosschecked with the Department of Revenue Services, from any claim of $5,000 or more. If someone is lucky enough to win a lottery prize and they also owe back taxes, it is reasonable to collect those taxes at that time, co-sponsor Rep. Gerald Fox, D-Sta

Internet Gambling and the Presidential Race
For far more than 200 years, the federal government has let the states decide what their public policy toward gambling will be. Neighboring states, like Utah and Nevada, can adopt prohibition or casinos, and the federal government's role has been to either step aside or, if asked, to help a state enforce its laws. That relationship changed on October 13, 2006, when Pres. George W. Bush signed the SAFE Port Act. As part of a futile presidential bid, Bill Frist (R.-TN.), then Majority Leader of

Despite dire predictions, Net gambling not changed by new U.S. lawNews Story
John Brokopp Courier-News When President George W. Bush signed the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act in October, many reports gave the impression it sounded like the death knell for the multibillion-dollar Web-based gambling industry. On the contrary, all it did was strictly regulate the process by which funds are transferred from users of the sites to the offshore companies which own and operate them. The practice itself wasn't declared illegal. Reputable foreign companies wh

$2B Powerball winner spotted in $250,000 vintage Porsche 911Reply
I wonder exactly how much cash is in that fat envelope of cash he's holding while exiting the bank. Not that it's any of my business (because it's not) and I don't care either, but.... If he withdrew more than $10,000 in cash, the bank is required by law to ask him what's he going to do with it. Depending upon the answer given to the bank, it could result in the bank electronically submitting a SAR to the U.S. Treasury Department's FinCEN (Financial Crimes Enforcement Network) for their

DE is/will be the First State to allow online gamblingReply
It's been illegal for residents of some states to gamble online for years and other states passed legislation against online gambling after the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act of 2006 became law. i am not sure i like this type of system rolling out. Online gambling began in 1994 so it's hardly anything new. It's been legal to bet on horse racing online in the U.S. and in Kentucky for many years, but illegal to bet on other forms of online gambling in KY. Call it hypocrisy, but
