"Lottery Lawyer" Jason Kurland sentenced to prison after defrauding winners of over $100 millionReply
Kurland was also sentenced to three years of supervised release. Supervised release is different than probation or parole as it's served after a defendant is released from prison and is supervised by a probation officer. If he violates the terms/conditions of his supervised release he can be sent back to prison to serve the remaining time of his supervised release. What will his quality of life be like after he's released? Because he wont have much money, it wont be very good and certai

Florida LLC revealed to have claimed $1.6 billion Mega Millions lottery jackpotReply
I wish I could remember where I very recently read this, but unfortunately I cant. What I read was a news report that stated the winner used an LLC registered in Delaware, not Florida. The reason given for registering in Delaware was stated as Delaware will not release the names of members of an LLC registered in Delaware, but Florida will release the names. .... So what the LLC in Miami is all about I do not know. I do recall that it was a Florida TV station's website where the abo

What kind of transparency is this? Won't release information if it was a QP or not...sensitive data? Give me a break. CA lottery certainly did not have sensitivity when they outed the player on video buying a multi million dollar ticket did they?

California Lottery announces group as winners of historic $1.765 billion Powerball jackpotReply
Had forgot all about this. Congratulations on their huge win. Too bad they didn't release the numbers of players. Probably 15 or more years ago had printed off their multi-page instructions of what to do with big winning lottery tickets. If memory serves me correctly they will cut up to 50 separate checks. I love that idea and glad this state will too, though they never said how many checks would be cut here!

Virginia sailor sets new record for largest instant lottery prize won online in U.S.Reply
Regulations probably changed since I retired from the Army in '97. It was that if you hit it big in the lottery you could easily ETS (End Term of Service). Was stationed right behind the Pentagon, Ft Myer, VA 80-82. An Army Soldier in the Pentagon won $5 million and there was big hoopla because the military didn't want to release him. Sadly don't know the outcome of his predicament! That's water under the bridge and so glad this US Sailor won a huge payday in his car!!
