The state of Florida does not allow anonymous claims. They release your name, your city, information about the game you won, and even hold a press conference for Powerball winners. As a Florida resident, I can definitely say I'm not too happy about the whole idea.

Years ago when Ohio had the most successful lottery in the area and was generating jackpots of $60M+ mainly because players were coming from other states to play, they decide to reduce the amount one ticket could win to $20M and more than half of the people stopped playing. Ohio lottery never regained that level of interest again and never will because since then surrounding states improve their lotteries and added PowerBall and/or MegaMillions which Ohio had to do eventually to keep Ohioans pla...

Anonymous is the only way to claim. It must be available in all lottery states. For those who love more prizes with smaller amounts Scratchers are available at all retailer stores. And if the guy has an option to stay anonymous but still gives out his name - Mother Nature laws prevail and natural selection applies.

This story has just broken my heart from the start. The poor man never had a chance in you know where with those vultures eyeing him.

This is also why, should I ever win, we will be moving the day before we claim the ticket. It wont be the house we end up in, but it will get us out of our very small hick town when they make the announcement.

Thats why it is not wise to reveal that you won the lottery.....everyone that knows you or somone like a dee dee moore might be aiming at you...he must have been a giving person because i would have told her to get lost from the jump!!!

I believe he was a very giving person who had a large target painted on him once he won.

Keep in mind right after he won, a co-worker tried to sue him by accusing Shakespeare of stealing from his wallet. (go figure on that one)

Then he became a baby... [ More ]

That would be great -- right up to the point when you realize that only a fraction of the people would continue buying lottery tickets, because the prizes were too small. Then the lottery prizes would shrink further.

In the real world , the only way to have a lottery is to offer big prizes.

Besides, people don't daydream about winning $5,000. It would be a nice little prize, to be sure, but it's not the stuff dreams are made of.

Excellent Idea

If she and her cohorts are found guilty, they deserve the same as they've done to Abraham...!

If I lived in Florida, I'd be livid about the D.A. not seeking the death penalty.

I wouldn't want to support her and the rest of these parasites while they relax in prison....

Prosecutors have declined to seek the death penalty against Moore

Now, why is that

Both Dee-Dee Moore and Judith Haggins deserve the death penalty. Dee-Dee may have been the master mind but she had a sh*t load of help to pull this scheme off.

According to friends and reports released about the investigation, Haggins knew Shakespeare for 15 years and assisted him with collecting debts he was owed. After Shakespeare's disappearance in April 2009, Haggins began working for Moore, collecting on Shakespeare's debts and providing transportation for his mother, Elizabeth Walker.... [ More ]

I've always said I would elect the cash option if I ever won big, but cases like these are causing me to rethink my position. Maybe we should be lobbying for a change in the prize structures of lotteries to produce more winners of smaller amounts. It might even be wise to eliminate the cash options altogether and require everyone to legally designate, up front, what happens to their, say, $2000 a Week for Life payments when they die. And how about a provision that beneficiaries only receive 1/2... [ More ]

What a sad story and ending for Abraham.

Dee Dee will pay a very heavy price for this and rightly so.

You have to wonder how she lives with herself after committing such a despicable and inhuman crime on an innocent human being.

Moore was indicted by a grand jury in March after Shakespeare's body was discovere... [ More ]
