Millions in lottery winnings go unclaimed each yearNews Story
It is hard for some to believe, but even as some Americans dream of hitting it big in the Lotto, Powerball, and Mega Millions jackpots, for some it might have happened and whizzed by unnoticed. Happens all the time, says Illinois Lottery chief Michael Jones. People misinterpret whether they won or lost. People misplace tickets all the time. Jones said the lottery estimates about one percent of all lottery prizes go unclaimed. And, considering the Illinois games raked in about $3 billion

N.J. Assembly panel clears one-year anonymity for lottery winnersNews Story
Twenty-five years ago, Evelyn Adams had the unimaginable luck of winning the lottery twice in two years. But opportunity morphed into misfortune for Adams, who ended up broke and living in a trailer after giving away and gambling away $5.4 million. Everybody wanted my money, the Ocean County woman told the website Bankrate.com in 2004. Everybody had their hand out. I never learned one simple word in the English language 'no.' Monday, a state Assembly panel sought to close the barn doo

Woman accuses son of taking $51 million lottery ticketNews Story
A California woman has sued her son and accused him of making off with her $51 million Mega Millions lottery ticket, and then racking up expenses on houses, cars, and cash gifts. The legal dispute between Etta May Urquhart, 76, and her son Ronnie Orender, who had been a truck driver, centers on who owns the ticket. She admits he signed it, but she is the one who lottery officials acknowledge bought the slip of paper. In May 2011, Urquhart went to her local Mobil gas station in Bakersfield,

Accordint to Calgary Sun: http://www.calgarysun.com/news/alberta/2009/11/03/11614146-sun.html All that stands between one of the luckiest men in Canada and $17 million is some paperwork.

The identity of the recent $333M winner in MM
Why has the New York Lottery not divulged the identity or any detail of the recent split $333M winner (not even so far as to say whether it's a trust or corporation or whatever)? These are the reasons I've come up with: A. There's a dispute between parties as to the ticket's ownership/split. B. It's suspected to be stolen since claimant can't confirm time of purchase. C. Claimant lost the ticket but can still prove it otherwise (a receipt). D. Ticket is damaged, so they a

Judge tosses wife's Lotto suit -- for nowNews Story
A Miami-Dade judge on Thursday said the wife of a lottery winner cannot go forward with a lawsuit against her spouse until she proves the money should belong to her. She has no identifiable legal rights at this time, Circuit Judge Jennifer D. Bailey said. Where does the law say you automatically have a right to participate in the proceeds?
