Maryland brothers arrested for $3.5 million lottery scam that allegedly involved exploding briefcaseReply
The phone scam stuff is even worse than it seems on the surface. The people making the calls or texts are often forced to do so in scam labor camps. Normal non-criminal people in various parts of Asia, mainly China, get lured by fake job ads for tech work. Then they end up in the jungle in Cambodia or Myanmar forced to sit on the phone and try to scam people all day. NY Times did several articles about it. https://www.nytimes.com/2023/08/28/world/asia/cambodia-cyber-scam.html https://ww

$36 million Mega Millions ticket sold in Florida goes unclaimedReply
I doubt online sales will solve the problem of forgotten leading to expired tickets. I have read that some people play online have gotten emails from lottery HQ, telling them that they won but they thought the email was a scam. Also too, there are people that do not bother to check their emails either. There is no guaranteed way to stop the now epidemic of expired lottery tickets.

Massachusetts store clerk who tried to steal customer's $3M lottery prize sentenced to probationReply
Apples and oranges. These cases are very different in terms of success rate, length of time running the scam, number of victims, and presence of an exploding briefcase, just to name a few.

Classic story of American greed where the victims are never at fault. It's always someone's fault. Scams from this type to entire call centers in India being setup to scam greedy Americans will never stop. The fundamental greed and a belief that we are entitled to get rich quick will always get exploited by others.

Connecticut Lottery launches its first $50 scratch-off ticketReply
This is a scam. I made the experience of buying 10 $20 tickets on a row and I won only $20. All the tickets was loses. So you could buy like 6 tickets and win nothing or just the $50. It's a trick

I never understood why some people continue playing the lottery if they think it is a scam and makes them unhappy. It is for entertainment purposes only.

I've seen scammers on the streets from New York to Los Angeles. That's the way of the world. When I encountered the Hillside Strangler in Hollywood, I thought he was a scammer about to try to scam me. It was so bad that for a while, I found it hard to trust anyone.

He won't prevail. Can you imagine if he did and you had hundreds of thousands of people monitoring lottery websites for temporary errors? Non official lottery related sites like LP could be brought in as well. Not happening. Just a petty crook. He definitely thought through several levels of the scam but not far enough. And why did his friend allegedly advise to take a photo of the numbers??? We all would be checking various websites or online scanning. Who takes photos of websites unles
