NM Lottery Pick 4 computerized drawing glitch made many tickets worthlessReply
We already know that lotteries keep track of how many tickets are sold for each individual number before the drawings take place. This explains why there are sold out numbers. With computer drawings how do we know for sure the computers aren't programmed to pick numbers with the fewest tickets sold? We don't. If that's the case, it's an even bigger money maker for the state lottery that uses them. Fewer winners, more money for them. That makes it pretty easy to see why they are so reluctant t

South Carolina lottery winner where are you? $1.5B still unclaimed, and clock is tickingReply
I have read stories where a non player was ready to throw out a ticket that had won because they thought the numbers on the ticket had to be in the order they were drawn in order to win. But then a friend or relative looked at the ticket and told them otherwise. Hey, anything is possible.

South Carolina lottery winner where are you? $1.5B still unclaimed, and clock is tickingReply
It was a $1.5 billion jackpot. At that amount even the non lottery players will take a chance and buy a ticket or two. It was one of these non players that didn't know what they were doing, that had the winning ticket and threw it out thinking it was a loser. Just my thought on it...

Woman steals credit cards, buys winning lottery ticket, gets arrestedReply
It also says on the back of any lottery ticket. This ticket is a bearer instrument. Anyone possessing a winning ticket may claim a prize. The credit card co. wouldn't get it because they don't possess it. They only provided the funds to purchase it. Kind of like, if you borrowed $20 from someone to put gas in your car, would that person own the gas? Would they siphon your tank if you didn't pay them back? Probably not, but they wouldn't loan you anything the next time you asked. Rightly or

Lawyers seek to depose lottery fraud mastermind in prisonReply
Judge Michael Huppert recently granted class-action status to the case, which involves customers who bought losing tickets for roughly 20 drawings between 2005 and 2013 that were allegedly tainted by Tipton's software. Unless someone saved all their losing tickets from 2005-2013, how are they going to prove who bought losing tickets for the dates in question and who didn't?

Bill to allow lottery winners to remain anonymous passes Virginia SenateReply
People who win larger or unusual prizes have their photo taken when they accept their winnings. That photo is then released publicly on platforms including Facebook and Twitter. I'm sure that could be a literal death sentence for some winners. If I had to have my photo taken, they can take one of my backside.
