$900 MILLION: Powerball jackpot rises, but sales miss in last draw makes for small increaseReply
Inflation is bad. But what inflation doesn't stop is ppl HABITS N DREAMS.. Even when Alcohol was illegal PROHIBITION. The mafia n boot leggers made RECORD SELLS. Even when Marijuana was illegal again dealers was selling it . During the great depression, GAMBLING HOUSES, HORSE TRACKS, AND PROSTITUTION HOUSES NOT ONLY MADE MONEY. THEY WERE GETTING RICH. THATS WHY THE GOVERNMENT TOOK OVER THE LOTTERY IN THE FIRST PLACE... GAMBLING IS ECONOMY PROOF. IT WAS STARTED BY LIL SMALL TIME BLACK HUSTLERS in

Virginia Lottery retailers refuse to sell tickets to draw attention to skill games amendmentReply
No disagreement from me that the government needs to regulate all forms of gambling in the state. 35% seems monumentally excessive however. That's a case of trying to protect the lottery, rather than a logical fee. So I agree on the regulation, but I think the fee should be smaller. (Incidentally I think they take too large of a cut on the lottery too, so you can see where my mind is at on these things.)

Australian lottery winner sues daughterReply
I agree. I bet the husband has failed businesses or a gambling problem or even drug issues. I think the father probably had a good reason and was perhaps trying to protect his daughter. Some people should not be given large amounts of money since it could destroy them.

Editorial: Study of lottery winners still receiving food stamps is flawed but raises good pointsReply
Thanks for the laughs. If anyone believes that winning $4250 is a significant lottery prize is not a serious person. This is a good example of a solution looking for a problem. If you won $4250, you've probably lost over $5000 gambling. This is nonsense!

Alabama Lottery bill falls short by one voteNews Story
Alabama lawmakers sick of indecision following years of debate By Kate Northrop A bill to authorize a state lottery and casinos in Alabama failed by just one vote, the closest the state has ever come to enacting a state lottery since 1999. One vote made the difference in the Alabama legislative session, resulting in voters just barely missing out on seeing a lottery question on the ballot this year. The last time Alabama residents saw a lottery proposal in the voting booth was in

Nebraska single father's salad run results in $1 million Mega Millions lottery winReply
You are a member of a gambling site and sound a little jealous. I rarely play pb or mm or any lottery. So a lot of us just play when the mood strikes. I cannot fathom staying up to see any lottery drawing and only did it once. Some people have lives and being in every drawing is a waste of time and money. So yes, some people have different priorities and some people are destined to win and others are not.

Australian lottery winner sues daughterReply
Gotta wonder what the deal is with Jim and why the old man hates him so much. Gambling addict? Bunch of failed business schemes and bankruptcies? Twelve baby mamas like Nick Cannon? Or maybe it's good old fashioned bigotry due to Jim being a different race or religion. Big piece of the story missing. The irony is that the more the old man tries to cut down Jim, the harder Sue will cling to him.

No man is perfect but gambling isn't an UNFORGIVABLE sin like killing others. Even though I gamble, I love the Almighty God.

$1.35 billion Mega Millions lottery winner suing mother of his child for revealing win to familyReply
This case may show us exactly the level of anonymity one gets with a major lottery win. I assume lottery officials must be bound by some sort of employment agreement for lottery winners. The IRS knows. But what about others who had no legal right to know? I would be furious as well. As others have mentioned, make up a story about an inheritance. Some people have no class and will ask personal financial questions. I always act concerned and ask if they are having money issues and will help them f
