How much do you "Owe," in this Lottery situation?Reply
Verbal contracts to share a potential lottery win/gambling related are impossible to enforce in most jurisdictions. It is based on indefiniteness, etc. and there really is not an offer and acceptance as in a contract. Now, if it concerned a married couple, that is different since it would be property acquired during a marriage. And if you give someone money to purchase lottery tickets on your behalf, that is different as well. And I agree that you are opening a can of worms by giving

$1.08 billion Powerball lottery winner Yanira Alvarez filed claim for jackpot over five months agoReply
Do they expect someone to remember where and when he/she bought every ticket? Did you notice the part that said If details about the purchase don't line up, this could be cause for further investigation ? They expect people who won very large sums of money to remember some of the details, but if you don't they'll normally just look at it a bit more closely. There's a big difference between establishing that the claimant is the owner and establishing that the claimant isn't the owner, so unl

Six gang members arrested for stealing $50,000 worth of lottery tickets in two statesReply
What other form of lottery tickets can you steal? I suppose you could direct the machine to print out multiple quick picks.. If everything was on.. But (I assume) that would be pretty easy to catch -- ticket was sold while store was closed -- should be an easy search So.. Pretty much a meaningless crime.. Unless they manage to sell unscratched tickets to other people

It depends on your state. You could email them and ask what to do in that situation. Tickets for draw games are time stamped pretty precisely, so I don't see how you'd get away with claiming one you didn't purchase. Scratchers are iffy because they're not timestamped, but they are serial numbered. What if you bought a bunch of scratchers at a vending machine and accidentally picked up another one someone else had left behind in the receptacle? Good questions. Personally, I don't pick up lott

Virginia Lottery retailers refuse to sell tickets to draw attention to skill games amendmentReply
An opinion Todd. We all have opinions and I live in the state. It is an amendment to a senate bill so it is legislative. We can buy lottery tickets online here and the vending machines are in grocery stores so the store owners are pushing their luck here. The store owners are free to protest of course but with all the convenience style stores close together, I really doubt too many are hurting financially. It is a we want even more money as store owners. The average convenience store gr

Virginia Lottery retailers refuse to sell tickets to draw attention to skill games amendmentReply
Add that to my long list of why I have no interest in casinos. I do not want to see sad people gambling their life away vs playing for fun and entertainment. Casinos are not close and convenient for most people. People with gambling issues are being enticed daily with a poor economy and inflation. I think it was meant to be protective of the general public. I am not a big brother fan but people seem to get easily addicted to those machines. The store owner can still sell lottery tickets. I

Why the appeal of coommunisim ?Reply
Be glad you weren't living under the sun god set nova to show the three wise guys where to go. BobP btw: the old Soviet Union USSR had lotteries going why back to before WWII with some pretty good prizes, though I have no idea fair and honest the prize distribution was. You can still find losing Ruskie lottery tickets on ebay.

$1.3 billion Powerball winner revealed by Oregon Lottery as three people splitting jackpotReply
The established, incontrovertible fact that Chao is getting only 1/3 of the jackpot strongly indicates that she paid 1/3 of the total cost of their shared tickets. ' where is this said in the text? At no point can I see the distribution stated. the article is perfectly clear . There was no suggestion that Chao supply the $100 to buy more tickets.. the text (as I quote once more) very explicitly says.. He purchased $200 worth of Quick Pick tickets for the April 6, 2024 drawing a

$1.3 billion Powerball winner revealed by Oregon Lottery as three people splitting jackpotReply
He purchased $200 worth of Quick Pick tickets for the April 6, 2024 drawing and offered to share the cost of his lottery tickets with his wife, Duanpen, 37, and his friend, Laiza Chao, 55, of Milwaukie. Total investment was thus: $200, not $300 asked Chao if she'd like to chip in $100 with him, so she contributed that amount Chao buys a half share (Total investment is still $200) So 50%-50% by household (Chao gets 50%). How the husband and wife split it is up to them, but b

How much do you "Owe," in this Lottery situation?Reply
I borrowed $10 and owe them $10. If I told them Give me $10 and I will buy some lottery tickets, if I win we shall split the winnings now that's a different proposal. Having said that, there is a word used that would sway the argument. The word is FRIEND. Now if this person is a real true friend, then in the spirit of friendship I would remember them. Maybe with 5M. However remember that people change, you could give them even 50M and they could sue you demanding more. So it'
