Bill to allow Pennsylvania lottery players to claim anonymously passes unanimously in SenateReply
You want to be famous. Most people prefer safety. You are aware of winners being harmed for even relatively small amounts? It has nothing to do with open security and having any anonymity law expiring after 10 years makes zero sense. What extra level of security would that show ten years later?

Florida LLC revealed to have claimed $1.6 billion Mega Millions lottery jackpotReply
There is nothing suspicious about winning a prize in one part of a state and claiming it in another part of the state. Waiting is also not suspicious because they wanted to make sure they had everything in order. In most states one's name has to match identically on both the ID and social security card when claiming a prize at lottery headquarters. A lot of people don't realize this until they get to headquarters and have to file paperwork for new ID's and social security cards with matching nam

New bill in Wisconsin could allow some lottery winners to remain anonymousReply
A winner's exemption from public disclosure under Peterman's bill includes shielding the winner's name, address, or social security number from public records requests for up to one year after the winner becomes entitled to their prize. This bill would keep the safety and security of lottery winners in mind Winners only get privacy for up to one year. A lot of lottery winners have become victims of thieves and murderers. If they really cared about a winner's safety and securi

Bill to allow Pennsylvania lottery players to claim anonymously passes unanimously in SenateReply
Personally l don't want to be anonymous but depends on my mood that day and the jackpot amount maybe maybe not. However l think all anonymous laws should expire after Ten Years this will at least give the public sense of fairness :). We live in a strange World . Remember the Airline that installed security doors to the snip pit and the Pilot was the one that committed Suicide so we need to have some Open Security too. So Ten years is good enough to put your S...together . This post has been

$1.08 billion Powerball lottery winner Yanira Alvarez filed claim for jackpot over five months agoReply
I would have given the clerk that ticket and just tell the truth that I found it left behind in the machine. Maybe the clerk knows who to return it to because it's a regular customer, maybe not. Either way, it's out of my hands. If the clerk is dishonest enough to try to claim it as her own, she won't get very far because of the time stamp and security footage. Not my monkeys not my circus, as they say.

Retailers have security cameras and sometimes the machines themselves also have cameras. That would prove you bought the tickets even if you couldn't remember exactly where or when. Worst case scenario, if the lottery demanded an absurd level of precision that you couldn't provide, you could sue them to pay out the prize. I doubt they would refuse to pay out a prize because you couldn't remember whether or not you bought a bag of Cheetos with the ticket.

$1.33 billion Powerball jackpot won by one ticket sold in OregonReply
Has a jackpot winner ever been sold in Oregon? At least one previous PB jackpot. Oregon is also the only place that sold a jackpot winning ticket through a valet service. IIRC the winner was from Iran (possibly Iraq?) but I think the prize was too small to be PB or MM. I have two bachelor's degree one statistics ... Your degree is statistics is apparently worth almost as much as your PB ticket for last Saturday. Once they sell 1% of the combinations what do you think happens with t

Accusations of "disturbing" new claims procedures after Allwyn sends investigator to winner's homeReply
The nice thing about US lottery is that each state lottery office employs a security personnel; they are former police detective who only purpose is to investigate big wins. Case and point, when my lottery pool won $4000 on a scratcher, they asked us about the purchase and time of day when we claimed it. They already knew pertinent details they were just verifying it was us.

$1 million Mega Millions prize won in Iowa will expire in two weeksReply
Rcb, it boils down to being lazy or irresponsible(sometimes both). Lack of ticket security on the players part should never require a safety net on the lottery's part. If any person becomes that careless with a ticket, they were never destined to have the financial rewards anyway.
