Editorial: Study of lottery winners still receiving food stamps is flawed but raises good pointsReply
Especially considering you have to be recertified every 6 months for SNAP. That little bit of money at most might get your benefits cut. I didn't read anything in the article about any welfare queens re-upping after winning significant lottery prizes. I also noticed how they went from SNAP to All government resources. Just completely misleading IMO.

$70 million Michigan Powerball winner says lottery winners should be able to remain anonymousReply
I'm not sure I'm understanding why all the harsh arguing is happening, because all the anonymity rules by state are specified right here on Lottery Post: https://www.lotterypost.com/thread/326232 When a state's anonymity laws get updated, we update the list. (As an aside, it's not really a good idea to screenshot a Google results page, because the quotes they offer on their site often leave out other important contextual information from the website they are quoting.) It's hard to tell

New Jersey Lottery will begin selling tickets onlineReply
Article on the news today contradicting what you said about brick and mortar stores---at least in the shopping malls which surprised me. I don't ever go. Costco is it for me. I agree 100% with you for e-commerce and who knows that study could be slighted in favor of shopping malls.

* The article said she was bawling. At first blush what were people supposed to believe? There are many convincing liars out there she won't be the last.

Maryland player wins $50,000 in Pick 5 for the fifth time this yearReply
The article makes it sound like he has won 5 separate times which would be impressive when he actually only won twice. After winning $200,000 on the first hit, I am surprised that he only won $50,000 on the second win.

Read the article. He forgot the tickets. There was no intent to abandon his tickets. He had just purchased them.

Florida LLC revealed to have claimed $1.6 billion Mega Millions lottery jackpotReply
The Saltines LLC/Saltines Holdings LLC rats nest is probably there to obscure the FL doctor winner. Maybe, maybe not. I hadn't looked before, but the official announcement by the FL Lottery says the prize was claimed by Saltines Holdings LLC. This article says they're based in Miami but according to Florida's official corporate registry there's not a Saltines Holdings (LLC or any other corporate structure) anywhere in Florida. The listing you linked to is for Saltines LLC , which lists a Mi

$1.3 billion Powerball winner revealed by Oregon Lottery as three people splitting jackpotReply
I read in another article that they are splitting it equally 3 ways. So the 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. Plausibly, what happened is the husband (and wife) bought $200 worth of tickets, then later called up Chao to ask if she wanted to pitch in $100 more to buy more tickets on top of what he already purchased. That would make $300.
