My idea of minimizing lottery fraudReply
In theory sounds interesting to prevent some fraud. The privacy concerns, huge logistics and expenditures to implement such a major overhaul, would be enormous however. Not to mention the fake, lost or damaged I.D.'s, which would add countless headaches to both lottery and police officials. Nice idea though.

Do some number combinations have better odds?Reply
If you are playing numbers based on past results then clearly you did NOT begin posting here so you could hear all the gruesome details about Gamblers Fallacy or Innumeracy ? I'm just wondering for jimmy's sake how you will feel about being called a Blithering Idiot ? Or perhaps a Fraud and a Troll ? Just wonder because like you I believe in creative ability, predictive powers, and positive energy. Along with a few other things like a brain that can think, and encouraging people to follow th

Name change once u win?Reply
You might have a little problem come tax time since your 1099 will bear one name while your investment, bank, and other financial accounts will have a different name for the same SSN. You would only be inviting a visit from the IRS and possible fraud charges from DMV. just K.I.S.S. Buy lottery ticket. Ticket wins. Seek necessary professional tax planning, legal, and financial assistance. Tell no one who does not need to know. Claim winnings and do press conference. Collect winnings and review

Are all the balls present during the game?Reply
I believe all the balls are missing. I think we should be putting out an all points bulletin for these kidnapped balls. The only way to insure there is no fraud, is to assign each ball a private body guard.

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

NY brothers claim $5M win from '06 lottery ticketReply
I agree. Everything about this story, or more precisely about the payment made by Syracuse, calls for more serious defenses than the complicit bureua has allowed to be shared with a thinking worl, as the non-frivolous explanation for possibly allowing, and authorizing a fraud. The trend is now set, for now. Any store clerk can keep a winning ticket and just copy the Ashkars story line plot, and apply it to themselves two week before expiration.

What are some of the best quotes that you have read about playing the lottery?Reply
I have no idea of the ratio of the how I'll spend my imaginary winnings or how the winner should spend their winnings posts to the realistic posts that actually offer ideas of how it could be possible to win a jackpot, but I'll bet it's huge. A few weeks ago someone actually typed congrats to the winner in a story about welfare fraud. To get an idea, just count the number of congrats to the winner and compare that to the playing strategy posts. I guess it comes down to if they can't win multi

DNS Changer Malware ThreatReply
Agreed. More like a drop in the bucket really. Was dubbed Internet Doomsday , obviously some novice hackers with too much time on their hands, although they were able to profit over 14 million through an elaborate click fraud scheme by hijacking advertising revenues. In the end they weren't that bright, as they were caught and are now residing peacefully in the slammer.

Minn. store clerk accused of "micro-scratching" lottery ticketsNews Story
What began as a complaint from a lottery customer about the loss of $15 led to an undercover operation and eventually the arrest of a store clerk for lottery fraud. A man told the Minnesota State Lottery he'd bought a scratch ticket at the Casablanca Market in Hopkins. He scratched it and found he'd won $15. But, when he took the ticket to the Lottery booth at the Minnesota State Fair, he was told the ticket had already been redeemed. Lottery Security checked the records they had from C
