Florida man arrested after buying $31,000 worth of lottery tickets using company credit cardReply
I doubt they will take him to court for that small amount. They could dock his pay if he still works there or get a lien on his home or future new employer salary perhaps. A lien would need a court order but it would far less visible to the general public. Most companies have theft insurance policies as well. I think he would owe taxes on that money.

Interpretations of Wagers Made And PrizeRatio/ WinningsReply
I guess it depends on what you did with the 4k. If you spent 8k, and the 4k win was subject to taxes, then the profit would be lower than 4k. If the tax was say 1k, then your profit is 3k, and your net loss would be 5k. (8k - net profit of 3k) If you throw the 3k back in and come up dry, then your out of pocket expenses remain -8k, but the total loss is -11k, and only the IRS won the 1 k tax payout.

$1.3 billion Mega Millions lottery winner's family sues him for not sharing jackpotReply
Its my understanding that this sara person was under the condition to not reveal anything. NDA clause , etc. No where did it say John had to keep his trap shut. Clearly he told his gf and possibly his Dad. Unsure a statement is a contract when speaking with his father. Oral contracts are hard to prove in court. Just even a slight twist of wording in the conversation will or could determine if its a contract or just a joke. I've been known to jokingly say to folks, ohh sure (haha) if I w

$1.33 billion Powerball jackpot won by one ticket sold in OregonReply
I think we got so blinded by the billion dollar jackpots people think that 1M is loose change. For the second prize winners that live in a state that doesn't tax the lottery that's 630K after taxes. 630K won't necessarily buy you a mansion or a yatch, but 630K can leave someone debt free and a little towards retirement. 630K is not an amount to be frowned upon. That's my attitude towards the game.

$975 MILLION: Massive Powerball jackpot increases againReply
Like they say, you have to be in it to win it On that note, I got my one PB with PP and my one MM with the multiplier. Who said that 36M is not a significant amount. The around 10M after taxes is a lot of money - let's not pretend that our lives can only be changed by 100M I would still buy a ticket if the jackpots reset at 10M. Good luck to all.
