Two big-money Mega Millions tickets could be lost, CA Lottery official saysReply
Thank you, Dollar419. I honestly try to carefully assess every topic before I post...I'm not perfect!! There are always two sides and then the TRUTH to every story which means we're obligated to find deficiencies in both scenarios in order to be fair. Agree? This is why I have no sympathy for scratchers that get caught up in ticket fraud, like the stories posted here, and want everyone to feel sorry for them. As players of these games, we're obligated to carefully research the games we play so w

Man scratches a $1M winner, but lottery ticket was a misprintReply
Not understanding why this game was not pulled until all of the mis-printed tickets were accounted for. Not understanding how the lottery player can look at a scratch-off ticket and know that it is a mis-printed ticket. The lottery commission knew they had mis-printed tickets in circulation and did nothing to nitify the general public. Those tickets could be construed as fraud. The lottery commission knowingly sold defective tickets. Yes, the lottery commission should make good on every

NY lottery winner charged with welfare fraudReply
What is up with him that $1000 every week was not enough? A lot of things have gone up in prices since 1998 but still, $1000 a week should have covered it no? I can't wait to hear his excuse, does he have two houses like the other welfare fraud lottery winner?

so floating around facebook
.....the Baltimore, MD winner may be the biggest idiot of the 21st century. Apparently there was a fake ticket floating around online today/last night from this beerinbaltimore twitter, but it was admitted to be a hoax. Now, one of my friends on fb has liked a ticket from this Chris B. (k i edited out his last name to not be a douche)character that an idiot, fake or not, has posted as his facebooks cover picture (basically a large background image on your facebook page). I doubt this is fake be

State cuts lottery winner's benefitsReply
If they can find 40+ more like her, to kick off food stamps, they'll be able to return to each state resident all of ... one penny or have nearly $1 million to divvy into some politicians' pet projects ... or pockets. Lemme guess which path they'll take. Complaining there's fraud in the system is like complaining there's sand on the beach.

Starving horses found on lottery winner's ranchReply
I DID give one away, post divorce. I could not afford him anymore, or the two others. My daughter took one, sold the other to a great forever home with stipulations, and gave the 3rd one away with stipulations. None of the stipulations can be enforced, but the homes were trusted and both horses are still there. The giveaway is living the fat and happy life in a large pasture full of 'throw aways'. It was not easy finding someone trusted to give your horse away, and I nearly euthanized this one b

7 people from WV winning $2M powerballReply
Like with the fortune cookie incident in 05 in NY, fraud was suspected initially, but all those playing the fortune cookie #'s walked away with $100K. In the situation where very large numbers of second tier prizes come up, the lotteries protect themselves with disclaimers to limit their liability to certain thresholds. Beyond that it is a pari-matuel payment only.

If you knew the numbers before the drawing?Reply
The Chinese did this first. The Powerball drawing on March 30, 2005 produced 110 second-prize winners. The total payout to these winners was $19,400,000, with 89 winners each receiving $100,000. The other 21 winners received $500,000, as they werePower Playselections. MUSL officials initially suspected fraud or a reporting error. However, all 110 winners had played numbers from fortune cookies made by Wonton Food Inc. of Long Island City, New York. The factory had printed the numbers 22, 2
