$83.5 million Lotto Texas winner reveals name in court battle: "Tired of being ignored"Reply

California Lottery vending machine stolen and dumped on the side of the roadReply
sounds like an inside job. only an employee or manager would know about how much cash is in the machine to make the crime worth it, the best time to steal it, the best way to get it out of the store, the right kind of vehicle to move it, etc. i don't think randos did this.

Minnesota Lottery adds age verification to vending machinesReply
Exactly. And lotteries will ask if YOU purchased the ticket. This story has nothing to do with gifting. Having your parents or someone lie for you is a poor example to set for a child. And buying alcohol for an underage person is a crime and people have gone to jail for it.

Florida bill would enhance criminal penalties for lottery retailer theft and fraudReply
One potential update involves expanding the law to allow sworn law enforcement officers employed by the Lottery's Division of Security to purchase lottery tickets and present them to retailers to claim a prize when it is necessary for undercover duties Are they morons? Losing tickets are useless for enforcement purposes, most tickets are losers, and they'll have to pay retailers a commission on every ticket, so why buy regular tickets from retailers? If they want to check to see if retailer

Former Texas Lottery Director Gary Grief indicted on charge related to $95M Lotto Texas jackpotReply
Texas is indictment country. Didn't they indict their own Attorney General awhile ago? You know the saying about a DA being able to indict a ham sandwich, right? That said, maybe their AG deserved to be indicted, and maybe that's why he agreed to pay 300k restitution, perform 200 hours of community service, and take 15 hours of legal ethics training to avoid a trial. And then there's the $6.6 million that was paid to 4 whistleblowers who were fired from their jobs in the AG's office after f

Arizona lottery retailer employee sued after buying $12.8 million ticket knowing it was a winnerReply
