Here's an LP story dealing with this. https://www.lotterypost.com/news/179824 Below is another story about how the Salvation Army turned down money from lottery winnings. The last line in this article says it all. Resize - Minus Resize - Plus MARCO ISLAND, Fla. (AP) - The Salvation Army will not accept a $100,000 donation from a Florida Lotto winner because its local leader didn't want to take money associated with gambling. David L. Rush, 71, annou

what tax do you pay if you win a foreign lotto?
i read this on a an article online, thought i would highlite the bits i thought relevant. So even if you are a US citzen . living over seas, and win on a foreign lottery you pay uncle sam his cut. -------- When the nation's President raises income taxes, foreigners like my friend leave and government income goes down. Unfortunately, YOU CAN'T LEAVE. Wait a minute. This is America, land of the free, right? Not so fast... The US government will track US citizens everywhere

2 lottery tickets split $333M Mega Millions jackpotReply
Incredible, was the first word out of my mouth when I logged on to the NYLottery website this morning The moment I saw the words '38 W. Fordham Rd I knew the ticket was sold right around the block from where my cousin lives. Unfortunately for him, he doesn't play haha. I'm just glad the winning ticket wasn't purchase where I bought my tickets (or anywhere else near me, for that matter)I would probably go insane haha. I was reading the NY Times article this morning and laughed, with a m

Computerized lottery drawings not problem-freeReply
I posted some comments on the Arkansas News site that originally posted this story, so I'll repeat my comments here: It is too bad that the Arkansas News interviewed several representatives of state lotteries, yet failed to contact the person who wrote the original editorial and is keeping this issue of computerized drawings in the forefront. By not contacting me, the Arkansas News has established the issue as a rather troubling one, but then did nothing but chip away at that concept

Hawaii residents now taxed on Vegas winnings even if they loseReply
The new law is retroactive to January of this year. First of all, ARE YOU FREAKIN' KIDDING ME??? How is this even possible and, more importantly, WHY are we putting up with these shenanigans from the people we elect to represent our interests??? Second, retroactive is just another word for the legal term, ex post facto, meaning after the fact. Such laws were previously prohibited by Article One, Section 10, Clause 1 of the United States Constitution, which reads, Section 10, Clau

Lottery winner loses ticket, awarded unspent portion from couple who found itReply
Are half of the posters here still in the 3rd grade? If you lost your wallet would you honestly believe that whoever found it was entitled to keep it? If so I'll give you credit for consistency. If not, you obviously don't really believe that finders keepers, losers weepers is actually true. The only difference between losing a wallet and other things is that it's usually a lot easier to find the rightful owner of a wallet. I realize that it apparently comes as a complete surprise to a lot of pe

N.J. Lottery to end live broadcast of midday drawingReply
I am so peeved that New Jersey is doing this how can they not understand that viewing the live drawings is more important to their credibility than a few measly dollars. Money well spent if it means more people will play. I and many of my friends will refuse to play the lottery if we cant see live drawing on the TV stations broadcast at the specified times. Jersey folks should contact the lottery and complain about this action and try and get it reversed. Here's my beef with Maryland lo

Texas Lottery confirms that Quick Picks are not generated by "central computer"Reply
OK, this is getting a bit far-fetched. At the very least, when someone uses a RNG, they use the computer's built-in system tick clock as the new RNG seed value before each use of the RNG. The article I posted in the other thread stated that state lotteries use a much more dynamic and unpredictable seed value than that, however. Frankly, the concept of the lottery using a RNG seed value to manipulate ticket combinations is not a viable theory, because it would not work. You are giving t

POLL: Time travelReply
Coin Toss wrote: Let's say time travel is perfected and yuo can go back 50 or 100 years. Hmm ... perhaps the statement should be reworded to say, Let's say YOU perfected time travel, that no one else had the ability, and you can go back 50 or 100 years. Otherwise, everybody'd be going back in time and doing things that might interfere with what you're doing (and vice versa). In any case, I don't think I'd go back in time for any reason. I'd be too scared of mucking up the future. I certainly
