Woman denied $43 million jackpot, offered steak dinner insteadNews Story
It was a selfie she thought was worth nearly $43 million. Katrina Bookman hit the jackpot on a slot machine in late August at Resorts World Casino in Jamaica, Queens. She even took an excited self-portrait with the machine displaying her winnings: $42,949,672. It would have been the largest slot machine jackpot in US history. I can't even describe the feeling. It's like my whole body just got numb, Bookman said. But when she came back the next day to find out the exact size of her jack

North Carolina: 10/1 - 10/31/2016Reply
Green ball foolishness sounds 100% correct. Nc Lottery is totally rigggggggggggeeeeeeeeeedddddddddddd The proof is in the pudding with the numbers that come out. I advise all of you to go look at the statistics as evidence. What Nc does is set it up to where it s not completely obvious but if you do research you will notice. Example 1 - the lead off number 1,2,3,4 vs 6,7,8,9. Now statistically the odds of getting a 1,2,3 or 4 as the lead off number is 40% and getting 6,7,8 or 9 is also 40%

Do you believe every combination has the same probability?Reply
It amazes how you math folks always use the exceptions to try and prove your beliefs. The Virginia and Mass incidents were pulled off by folks who went to great lengths and expense over a long period of time. Everyday lottery gamblers don't have the smarts and financial resources to take advantage of the weaknesses of a lottery game, even if they know of the possibilities. Who knows, maybe there are groups of people who are currently exploiting or trying to exploit other games that w

Illinois Lottery winners again might not get paidNews Story
People who've waited more than a year for Illinois leaders to finish a state budget might start to feel like the prospects of a compromise are similar to the odds of winning the lottery. Now, Illinois Lottery winners might again face the prospects of not being paid their jackpots in a timely manner if no spending deal is struck by the end of the month. Last year, lottery winners sued the state to get their payouts and eventually did after Gov. Bruce Rauner and lawmakers agreed on a patchwo

WV Lottery officials oppose jackpot anonymity billNews Story
The times of the big lottery check presentations may soon come to an end in West Virginia. Winners of big jackpots would no longer have to make required public appearances to claim those prizes if a bill that's moving at the State Capitol becomes law. The West Virginia Lottery is opposing the bill because of what John Myers, acting director of the Lottery, called an expectation of transparency among players. They want to know that, when we tell them that there's a grand prize winner, t

$300 MILLION: Massive Powerball jackpot fuels New Year's dreamsReply
As noted elsewhere, constructive receipt (sometimes economic benefit ) is the relevant doctrine. It can get complicated in some situations, but for most things it's fairly simple. At least as a practical matter you have constructive receipt when you first have the ability to get the money. As far as a regular paycheck the easiest thing to do is just go with whatever is on your W-2 or 1099, which should reflect what you were paid during the calendar year. If you don't get your paycheck for the
