Scammer who conned UK National Lottery of £2.5 million given more time to repay fundsReply
It is getting crazy nowadays, looters looting loot from the loottery worldwide. Is looting illegal? Of course, looting is, first and foremost, a form of stealing. As such, depending on how it is perpetrated, the looter may be arrested for petty theft, larceny, grand theft, burglary, or another, similar crime. Some states also have laws that pertain specifically to looting, often with stiffer penalties. HG.org

Thief yanks entire lottery ticket displays from two California businessesReply
This reminds me of a guy who owned/owns a store where they sell Lottery tickets. He said a couple of his Employees stole a bunch of Lottery scratch off tickets and when confronted, they claimed they would pay him back with the winnings. :/ He had an ingenious idea. He acted like he wasn't all that mad and got them to sign a paper promising to give him back the stolen lottery money with the winnings. He turned that signed paper into the court and got them prosecuted. They were idiots to first ste

As a Lottery JP winner: Would you " help" your city out if they were on the verge of bankruptcy?Reply
Great post CdanaT! However your logic will never win out over envy and theft in the hearts of man. Society is based off self interest. What people can't make they will vote to steal it. Then direct democracy society moves from gold coins silver coins as money to fiat paper money in order to steal through inflation. Then you have theft, debt, booms, busts, recessions, depressions, welfare, wars, death, rinse repeat. Dictatorships don't work for liberty but neither does the voters through dire

California family's fight over $51 million lottery jackpot is overReply
Of course he paid full tax as you put it because there is no way to avoid not paying tax- he could not pull a Wesley Snipes.Fact of the matter is it was not HIS MONEY to begin with. She won , not him, she went into the convenient store to purchase the ticket, not him.Just because she was shaking uncontrollably to sign the ticket does not mean ownership is transferred over to the Son.Sure his name is on the placard on the table why?- because he signed it. But theft is theft, a so called white lie

NY brothers claim $5M win from '06 lottery ticketReply
The statute of limitation for theft in NY is 5 years, but that's more or less irrelevant. If the ticket is stolen they're both guilty of possession of stolen property, which in this case is a felony that could get them up to 25 years, the same as for the original theft. Then there's the fraud they just committed by claiming the prize as their own. Assuming the parents (or anyone else) know they didn't really buy the ticket they'd have the honor of being co-conspirators for the related conspiracy

$640 MILLION: MEGA MANIA!Reply
Yes, but if you're in an accident on your way to the lawyer's office, and the paramedics take your ticket, as you suggested, having multiple photos of you holding the ticket would seem like it should hold a lot of weight in your lawsuit against the paramedic. And to the other person who thinks it's crazy taking pictures and making copies, just claiming it right away is the foolish route -- as any lottery commission will tell you. All say to get your financial planning ducks in a row before cl

Illinois Lottery hopes to sell tickets online in '3 to 4 months'Reply
IDK who your replying to - but I think a widespread tax evasion by the public is actually more moral than the widespread theft of private citizens money through legalized theft (AKA: Taxes) - If you were referring to people evading taxes on lower level prizes. I mean think about it - if you beat the long odds and actually pull in more money over a year playing the lottery - should Uncle Sam get a cut? Hellllllll no. Sure, honesty is the best policy. But by that same logic, it would have
