“Money doesn’t mean a great deal to me"Reply
But that's the nice thing about getting older. You get to a point where you don't really give a damn about what's on top of the wheels...if it rolls without your feet propelling it, it's a good thing. RickG Rick, I can't honestly say I've reached that point in life. I worry too much about reliability. I also have to get used to the fact that gas is so darn expensive since I still enjoy cruising around. For so many years I'd get up on a Saturday and drive 3 hours to the mountains and 3 hour

<the coin site> Blocked my accountReply
I don't like that web site, and I don't like their response. Incidentally, all the talk about lawsuits is stupid. Anyone going spouting about bring a lawsuit against someone else is just blowing smoke. Most people don't even know a lawyer to call. If Taydonet went against their rules, then he should certainly not receive whatever benefit was coming his way, but that e-mail from that bad web site is horrible. Why the heck would anyone defend some company that would write garbage like tha

For many big winners, it's Lotto Inc.
A Miami couple created a corporation to claim a $12.4 million Lotto jackpot.

Joining a lottery club?Reply
It would be too hard to get a group of pool players to agree to taking the annuity unless they are all family about the same age. Pool players are in a pool because they want to get the money and be done with it. And they want immediate control of their share. As an individual winner, at my age, it would make sense to take the lump sum for three reasons. 1) The possibility of growing the money faster. 2) Taxes would be paid at today's rate (37%). 3) Avoiding a huge tax on the kids in

I am CONVINCED only way you WIN BIG if they let you win!Reply
Considering the Hot Lotto fraud, numerous RNG issues, and other various glitches, it does make many wonder whether it's even worth playing various lottery games. Can you list any issues where there was a deliberate attempt to prevent players from winning? Even with any of the games where Tipton knew or controlled what the winning numbers would be there was nothing that prevented anyone else from playing those numbers and winning. In the case of Hot Lotto you'd only have gotten half of the j

If you could play any US lottery from any state online would you switch to anonymous states?Reply
If you live in a state that has state taxes, it doesn't matter if you win in another state, they will take their cut. Just make sure that you're a resident of a state without an income tax by the time you have constructive receipt of the winnings. According to the IRS that can't happen until some time after you've presented the ticket and the lottery has verified that it is the winning ticket, giving you plenty of time to move. It's possible that individual states may have laws that address

Another false rumor started about a so called lottery winnerReply
Ok this one is kinda funny! I can't see any way it will succeed. Really, he sends money OUT of his prison fund? How much do prisoners make these days? Last I knew it was about 20 cents per hour. But it's certainly a cautionary tale for future winners. There's nothing to stop ANYONE from filing a lawsuit in this country. A relative I haven't heard from for 20 years could see my name as a winner and claim that I promised them 25 years ago that I would split any winnings with them. Remember thos

Your stars finally align and you win, but...Reply
If the win was after the break-up, and didn't include any of the money that was pooled, I see no reason the other person would get anything. Just because you two dated and now you've won the lottery, they are just as entitled to a share of that money as that guy down the street you've never even talked to. Now, if it was using funds you two pooled together, then they deserve half, no matter what the relationship status is. I think the basic rule is that you don't discuss sharing

what kind of small business would be good to invest in if you won a jackpot (IYO)Reply
What financial people? Are you talking about mutual funds where some fund trader has the right to trade you in and out of stocks and bonds for losses? I'm confused why anyone would want to do that. In anything never let anyone have control of your checkbook or accounts for any reason. period. Open individual accounts and purchase the direct stocks and bonds you want and they just sit there. I would go with large commercial firms like citi, wells fargo, jp morgan, or goldman sachs for all account

Lottery Code has already been brokenReply
I would think most big lottery winners are lawsuit adverse, why win it only to lose it playing pranks or end up in jail. Sounds like one of those deals with the devil scripts. We play to win a prize big enough to provide good things for ourselves, family maybe even some close friends in these troubled times. To me fun is being able to relax, take it easy, enjoy the things a jackpot can buy. As it is possible to have money and bad luck, it is important to pay forward, charity, cont
