Colossal Fail: Cowboys lottery game winners not getting tickets after allReply
It's a great prize, especially if you're a die-hard Cowboys fan, which I understand Mr. Delamar is, said Bobby Heith, a spokesman for the Texas Lottery Commission. And it should be interesting, Delamar agreed. But to be honest, it was the tickets, getting to go all season, that's why I was so excited, he said Tuesday. And I talked with Kathy in Amarillo, and she feels the same way I do that we should be getting tickets. Do I smell a lawsuit in the making??? Easy for Heith to poo-p

Mass. Lottery ads still on radio two days after Cahill agreed to a haltNews Story
Radio spots from a million-dollar advertising blitz for the Massachusetts Lottery continued to run yesterday, two days after state Treasurer Timothy P. Cahill, an independent gubernatorial candidate, said he would stop airing the taxpayer funded advertisements. A spokesman for the Massachusetts State Lottery Commission said the ads would cease by last night, adding that the process for killing a major ad campaign took some time. The lottery said the ads could not have been stopped immediately

Indiana man says store cost him $11.5M lottery jackpotReply
A spokeswoman for the Hoosier Lottery said retailers can set their own hours for selling and redeeming lottery tickets as long as they cut off sales by 10:40 p.m. It's up to the individual retail location, Lucia Anderson said. Josh Brown, another of Andrews' lawyers, said the law isn't explicit. There is no statute addressing the retail hours and whether they can set it or not set it, he said. Brown noted that the contract between the lottery agency and retailers requires stores to

Piqua lottery winners sued by co-workersReply
Well from my limited knowledge of the court tv shows, which are just minor sums of money in comparison. The judge usually only awards court costs if the people have a real reason to sue. Like, they don't bear any of the burden at all. Most recent example was a woman who was hit by a car that backed up to try to get to a gas station when it ran out of gas, but she was crossing in the middle of the street instead of at a cross walk so she was found 30% at fault. Could be wrong, but the judge doesn

Piqua lottery winners sued by co-workersReply
Another office pool, another lawsuit. It seems a bit unlikely that the people in the pool would refuse them their share if this was a legit case. The pool even had no problem with 1 person getting two shares, because he put an extra dollar in for his mom. That would make it seem clear that the pool required you to actually put in 1 dollar per share for a given drawing. Also, since these people each put in a dollar for this pool, any winnings that did roll over would give the other 4 a s

$75M Texas Lotto jackpot claimed by business partnershipReply
Pumpi, First of all, I agree with the other comments that the LLC was probably created AFTER winning the lottery. It's jsut a guess, but I've seen this before. There are many ways of investing your money wisely and forming a Trust and/or LLC are 2 of them. Deep inside for 1 year now i was praying deep inside of me for this to never happen Second, what difference does it make who wins the lottery, as long as it is fair random? What you are saying is that only poor people can play.

N.J. Lottery players question logic of shutdownReply
It was done to bypass the Checks and Balances of Government. The system of checks and balances is an important part of the Constitution. With checks and balances, each of the three branches of government can limit the powers of the others. This way, no one branch becomes too powerful. Each branch "checks" the power of the other branches to make sure that the power is balanced between them. How does this system of checks and balances work? The process of how laws are made is a good example

Ky. Lottery Under Fire For Scratch-Off TicketsReply
The lady lawyer's contention in this lawsuit is clearly based on mixture of wishful thinking and poor reading comprehension. The ticket clearly states, Over 10 million dollars in cash prizes from $25 to $1,000 cash. That does not mean that all cash prizes are from $25 to $1000. If that were the case, they couldn't even pay the higher $5000, $10,000, and $25,000 prizes. It does not mean that there are no prizes less than $25. It simply means that over ten million dollars worth of the cash prize

Ky. Lottery Under Fire For Scratch-Off TicketsReply
I've recently discovered that a class-action suit is currently pending against the Hoosier Lottery for similar offenses (this has nothing to do with what LosingJeff and I are working on). Apparently, the issue is that the expiration dates for their scratch-off games don't appear on the tickets, nor can this information be found on their website. The only place to find it is on Indiana's State Government website (so I'm told - I couldn't find it there, either), so you can imagine how often it'
