Heartbreak: Lottery scam led to NJ grandmother's suicideReply
I would agree with you, but she was only 72 years old! That isn't old by today's standards. Except for those unfortunate individuals who are afflicted with dementia and Alzheimer's disease, the mind is usually the last thing to go. Many great artists are creating brilliant works at 80. As you probably know, Normal Mailer died last week at age 84. He completed a novel last year. A really silly show with Charlie Sheen called 2-1/2 Men has Robert Wagner (age 77) as an occasional guest. He's s

How about the Stave Player Sytem?Reply
Quite a number of years ago, when Steve Player was a real person and was operating out of New York, his business burned down and he supposedly got out of the lottery business. I don't remember exactly now whether he ran an add to this effect in Lottery PLlayers magazine or sent out notices in the mail. However, he had the business up for sale. A very reputable person in the lottery business told me in a phone conversation, that he and his partner went to New Hampshire where Steve Player had m

Lotto Win/Job DecisionReply
I think it would depend upon how m uch you had left over after taxes. If you could live on $25,000 a year before taxes, then if you had at least $500,000 lump sum to invest at 5% per year, you could do it. Otherwise, you continue working. These days, a half-million dollars is barely enough to retire on unless you have another revenue source. (who woulda thunk?) If you had millions in lump sum, you would probably have to quit working just because of the time it would take you to manage yo

Tennessee Lottery takes back refund offerReply
In all honestly, being from Tennessee I know we have a few simple minded people. This is what I think happened... They guy walked into the store obviously not knowing what the Jackpot was. He bought a few tickets (either lotto 5, cash 3, or cash 4 (Evil games)). He looked at the ticket and saw that the jackpot was $29 million and bought them. He noticed that later on the JP was only $15 million. Felt lied to and of course he wanted some clarity. As far as 15-min of fame? I simply don't k

Single winner in $314M Powerball lottery drawingReply
Well, the big game is over now and we have a winner or maybe winners. Players came out in droves -- from far and near, and even the dead ressurected for this big payday! Now, let's see who the real, standby die-hard players are: the ones who play weekly and consistently -- even when the game is $15 million. Sure, I bet most of the sales will drop, now! Hum, make you wonder if the average player can go to the bank and withdraw $4 or $5 million -- and don't even grunt (usually after taxes). I

Indiana Lottery (Hoosier Lotto)Reply
If you're just expressing your opinion, maybe you should go into ANY topic started about a lottery, and if it's an RNG lottery, post RNG Cheaters! RNG Cheaters! . The person who started this thread wanted to talk about a high jackpot, not whether or not the Hoosier Lottery cheats or why it's RNG, therefore your post was OFF TOPIC. The targeting of the Hoosier Lottery on this forum is keeping people who want to talk about the Hoosier Lottery games from having a decent discussion because somebody

Tennessee Lottery threatens to go computerizedReply
That's almost ancient history now in any case. This isn't 1776. Why do you think people run for elected office and spend man, many, many times what the job pays to get elected? They know how much power resides in the position. How many non-millionaires get elected to office and when they leave they are multi-millionaires? They easily take and encourage the protests of the people because they know they have the power, and therefore the last word. It's even worse with the non-elected bur

Job question: After winning a $100 Million jackpot, you would...Reply
Bottom line- You get to have the *choice* to decide if you want to retire. I could careless if someone resents my working after a big win. As a citizen I've earned the right to work and benifit from it. Why would I want to be an outcast and *snub* the working class. Ive got great regard for people in my establishment and wouldnt consider leaving unless my health or the business went under. As to resenting a person who does have lots of money and still works. Seems silly. That is their cho

POLL: 'Moral' obligation for a jackpot winner
Does a jackpot winner have a 'moral' or ethical obligation to leave their job, in order to free that job up for someone who really needs it? I'm talking a sizeable jackpot that would let someone retire if they wanted to. We're not talking about a business owner here, but someone working hourly wage or salary at a normal run of the mill blue collar or white collar job. I'm thinking they should leave that job to inded free it up for someone who needs it, as they don't anymore, and also i

Job question: After winning a $100 Million jackpot, you would...Reply
I think just managing the cash would be a job. You can't really just sit back let the checks roll in. You've got to stay on top of things, etc. You see everyday people spending a great deal of time just taking care of their investments, taxes, budgets and such. Image that at $100m. Some people get bent out of shape worrying if the local garage is going to pop you for a car repair. Imagine that magnified a lot. I'd retire then try to learn as much as I could about investing,
