Mega Million Is Rigged! I Proved It!Reply
One way cheating could happen is to film multiple live drawings and by searching for the lowest payout - televise that drawing only. I hope that can't happen or someone on the staff would publisize this sort of fraud.

Lottery winner loses ticket, awarded unspent portion from couple who found itReply
Yea, good point with the fraud part of NOT being the one who paid for it. Now next question is 'If you lost a jacpot winning ticket and someone else turned it in so you could get it back to claim the win - would you give the person who turned it in any money??? I think I would but not sure how much.

Lottery winner loses ticket, awarded unspent portion from couple who found itReply
to those who didnt read the article yet jumped to conclusions that would only apply in your world, the reality is, justice was served and the rightful persons were given the chance to prove they bought and had rights to claim. Sorry that it doesnt give more factual answers as to whether it was signed or not, or how Fraud is defined in legal terms. I truly hope I am never in a room with some folks when my winning ticket falls out of my purse and onto the floor. Something else might drop to the

Arkansas Lottery director hires core management staffReply
I am appalled at the high salaries and with Ernie Passailaigue's attitude toward the average Arkansas Taxpayer. Our taxes are paying the salaries for PAssailaigue and his staff, he had better get used to anwering to us. Having just moved from North Carolina where the lottery startup was ridden with fraud, Ernie and his good ol boys mentality is cause for concern. Usually when high paid officials call the general population too stupid to understand, when they want the media and taxpayers out of t

Florida Lottery Raffle drawing crowns 7 new millionairesReply
per the Florida Firecracker game rules : Tickets from 000001 to 750000 will be issued in sequential order. No where does it say it will contain 7 digits. If someone had a ticket with seven digits they need to go back to the store that issued it and file a fraud claim against that store. ( Just kidding, since its doubtful a seven digit one was printed/or legitimate)

Scratch Offs Not Being PaidReply
Good you reported that to Lottery HQ. It is spelled out in their retailer agreement which the store signed that they should have given cash for a true cash winner. Either the clerk was not aware of this or the store does this to sell more tickets. Most state lottery offices would followup with the store and although a single instance of this type would not get their lottery authorization yanked, continued incidents would. The lottery does track compaints such as yours so a store that gets enough

Better to be thought a fraud than to post a bunch of predictions that win nothing and remove all doubt.

Either she was very stupid or tried to commit fraud.Reply
What they should do is have machines where you can check for winners with scratchers too, and not just number games. In Michigan, there are machines where you can put a ticket under it to find out how much you won, but for scratchers, they only have them at the other side of the counter. Having those machines could help to prevent fraud. I wouldn't stop to report these clowns, even if it is just 10 dollars. And I never understood the big deal about minors buying lotto tickets. What are they

Arkansas lottery retailers to be policed for fraud, officials sayReply
I think that all retailers have a right to win lottery prizes as any lotto player do. There could not be any possible fraud. If they spend their money to nbuy the ticket, they should have a chance of winning as well. Of the retailer have the chance to buy the very first ticket, but it wouldn't make a difference. Lottery are a game of luck. Just because someone is being lucky doesn't mean that they are doing something wrong. The retaoillers are just lucky.

N.C. lottery store owners, employees winning big and oftenReply
N.C. needs to get on the stick and start conducting these investigations/sting operations that other states have been doing. The whiff of fraud is unacceptable.
