I get a notification from the KY Lottery even if just win a buck playing Online. But if he never won anything playing Online, he had good reason to be suspicious.

The national lottery in my country is sending notification SMS'es telling me I have won on any of the lotteries they run. If the win is over 1000 NOK/ US$116 they will not say the amount I have won, in case some people are able to read my SMS'es on the phone. Then I'll have to log into the lottery's website to see the amount.

Gunther Hega, 57, matched four of the five white numbers drawn 1, 19, 31, 48, and 61 (the Powerball number was 6) in the July 27 drawing, while also playing the Power Play option to multiply his prize.... [ More ]
