Florida man arrested after buying $31,000 worth of lottery tickets using company credit cardReply

$1.35 billion Mega Millions lottery winner suing mother of his child for revealing win to familyReply
Under his state law and the child courts he is required to disclose any increase in wealth. This then gets turned over to the courts for re evaluation of the adult support errrr...i mean the mislabeled child support. He did his due diligence by creating a NDA and still following the court increase. He has every legal right to enforce the contract and seek damages .

Still amazes me that when you purchase the only legal document for a chance at winning $191,000,000.00 that you don't take better care of it place that ticket in a specific location...While I have never found a purchased ticket, for a future drawing, on the ground inside/outside of a store.
