Lottery Winner's Lucky Day Turns into One Heck of a MessReply
Welcome to the world of news reporting. She definitely didn't buy the ticket during that visit, because it's a raffle game, but there's nothing in the article to suggest she did or didn't buy it there when they were on sale. Perhaps she mentioned where she bought it, perhaps the lottery didn't bother asking, or perhaps they claimed it was a gift. IMHO, the NY lottery has at least one huge flaw in their security procedures for online games. The exact time the ticket is issued is printed on

First Ca$hola jackpot win in DelawareReply
The days of the 3 reelers are long gone, much like mechanical drawings in many states. Remember, the real money comes from the daily/every social security check diehards who will play whatever is put in front of them.

Hopefully I'm finished tinkering with the login
Things like login can be tricky to make changes to, so I've need to make some adjustments here and there. I think I'm finally happy with it. Sorry if you need to login again, but that's the price for a little extra security! At this point things work more like everyone is used to. Your name will get filled in automatically next time you login, as long as Remember Me is checked. Also, there is now a separate box for having a login survive a browser restart. One of the big changes, as

New page identifies problems with your web browserReply
Just so everyone is aware, any security bugs that may exist with the latest versions of Firefox (or IE for that matter) are far less significant than the security bugs that exist in older versions, like version 1.x. If you are holding off on upgrading because of warning about a current exploit, don't! Any bugs that are revealed now will not pose a threat any time soon, because it takes time to build and propogate hacks. There will be a patch released long before any exploits could get int

Exactly What Kind of Professionals Do I Need?Reply
attorny, tax advisor first off whilst claiming the prize. then a financial planner and accoutant, all of whom need to be checked for their rep and past. Depending on the size of the win for a time you will need a good security company... If you win big and it's made public then Also you may need a good personal assistant for a time to filter people away from you... but you need to make sure of this person's credentials most of all. Hire them through a agency that specializes in this t

winning a few thousand,what do you do?Reply
Since I'm already retired and my pension plus social security is not enough to meet my normal annual needs, I typically make a few partial withdrawals from my IRAs each year in whatever amount is necessary to meet normal living expenses. In the event of a win of a few thousand dollars, I'd spend it on routine living, but in so doing I'd simply withdraw that much less from my IRA that year.

Lottery winner: 'Kind of exciting, I guess'Reply
This lady is probably always low key and was restrained while being interviewed. Not everybody expresses emotion publicly. I'm sure she's very, very happy. Or - maybe it hasn't sunk in yet, since she's still working for the money to supplement her social security check. She said she doesn't earn a lot working at the warehouse, so I imagine $1,000 a week is quite a nice surprise.

no more lotteryReply
I doubt I would ever put the lottery out completely, as that is the best financial security and free time to enjoy it, that you will ever come across besides some type of inheritance. Even a dollar a month is better than nothing. People have, and continue to win millions with ONE dollar.

8-time B.C. Lottery winner has history of fraudNews Story
A Kamloops store clerk who won the lottery eight times over the past five years was convicted of fraud in 2001.

Ticket Redemption QuestionReply
No, it can't be cashed twice. It is cashed using the ticket's barcode so one barcode to a ticket. Tearing them up lets the clerk know that the ticket has been cashed. Some places will keep and staple all winners 50.00 and over. The little ones (less than 50) can be torn up as a sort of security measure or better yet to keep some rip off artists from trying to cash it in twice.
