Anyone care to guessReply
Virginia's real problem* was lost when the topic changed to how many stores people can own. *Many of the stores selling lottery tickets had skill gaming machines and apparently they profited much more than the average 5% the lottery pays. A new law made the machines illegal.

How do you deal with lottery losses?Reply
This is quite a list of questions; I will try and respond to each and hopefully help a soul out there. Q. How do you deal with lottery losses? Ans. I treat the lottery the same way I treat my house, car, property etc. insurance. I pay for the insurance so that in case something happens, say to my car, the insurance will cater for it. I know very well that there is a high possibility that nothing will happen to my property, but I still pay for the insurance. I don t consider the insurance

California Lottery announces group as winners of historic $1.765 billion Powerball jackpotReply
Had forgot all about this. Congratulations on their huge win. Too bad they didn't release the numbers of players. Probably 15 or more years ago had printed off their multi-page instructions of what to do with big winning lottery tickets. If memory serves me correctly they will cut up to 50 separate checks. I love that idea and glad this state will too, though they never said how many checks would be cut here!

what is the very first thing you would buy if you won the lottery?Reply
I will continue to buy lottery tickets - not necessary many more, but maybe two tickets every drawing. Am sure our Carliformia 2 billion winner is in the next few draws

$36 million Mega Millions ticket sold in Florida goes unclaimedReply
With a medical emergency, checking lottery tickets takes low priority. There was a large number of excess deaths in 2023 in the US, so that increases the odds that the lost prize was due to medical issues. A high number of excess deaths in 2023 also occurred in Canada, New Zealand, Australia, the UK , and other countries.

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

what is the very first thing you would buy if you won the lottery?Reply
When I was younger I was in it to win it. As you get older you realize that throwing more money at the lottery is not getting you closer. I've played continuously, played on certain days, pared my plays, and now play when I feel like it. I see more money to spend on other things now. Like I'll buy lunch for me, and my nurse with the money that would otherwise go to the lottery. And I get more smiles, thank yous and hugs (a few pecks on the cheek that don't hurt a bit) than i ever got from b

$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
