If you are Illegal and play lottery shouldn't they learn the rules on collectionReply
I thrive on the truth. Maybe if you got your facts straight about Obama NOT signing the Pat.Act., I would have some respect for you pally.

You're a liar and a fraud and everyone saw Management show evidence and call you out on it. In flagrante delicto. Who exactly do you think you're fooling? Hang it up, you couldn't get a dime out of here now, little man. Run along.

...the winner, who wishes to remain anonymous, said.Reply
That's why if I won, even claiming as a trust, I would set my phone to only allow numbers that I have in my address book. That way it doesn't matter if people get my number because they'll just get a busy signal. It's what I'd suggest everyone do if they won big. I'd of course also make sure I had random important numbers on my list so that I wouldnt miss them (such as bank numbers, for fraud detection type stuff. I had also thought about getting a number under a friends name, where I woul

Cheated lottery winner files lawsuitReply
Joshi has been indicted on a felony charge of claiming a lottery ticket by fraud. Austin police and Travis County prosecutors recovered about $395,000 from his bank accounts and a judge declared Willis the rightful owner of that money. Joshi received $750,000 after taxes were withheld. During a short hearing before state District Judge Suzanne Covington last year, Assistant Attorney General Gaston Broyles, who represents the Lottery Commission, said that a prize may not be paid twice, th

The Great Lottery RevoltReply
No. Players know the odds when they buy tickets, provided there's no corruption, misrepresentation, fraud, flawed RNGs [allowing them to sell tickets for numbers that have zero chance of winning] or otherwise questionable practices on the part of the lottery operations. But the premise that lotteries are public institutions is valid. Lotteries should maintain public access to all records concerning their draw results, where the money went, how much was paid out and any other information inten

Computer Draws ? Outliers or just broken software?Reply
Good point. But in almost anything where large amounts of money are involved there's an industry standard of accepted practices and minimums of scrutiny and accountability. The stock market, for example, has legions of of people dedicated to the sole task of watching for anomalies hinting of insider trading. Banks are scrutinized by examiners, auditors and computer software devised to identify misbehavior, fraud, theft, anything out of order or outside industry standards and accepted practice

Three largest online poker sites shut down by FBIReply
Some call it fraud. Some call it being creative. It's a dance that some learn in order to do what they want and keep what they have. People in government think it's their job to keep people from doing what they want and they like to confiscate a portion of what they have. They're obviously wrong but for some reason we put up with it.

What is a lottery system? What distinguishes a lottery system from guesses, dreams and quick picks?Reply
If visiondude posted a QP scan and it hit the jackpot, what would that prove? It would prove the lotteries are giving away free tickets! ALL software claiming it can make you rich from lottery winnings is a FRAUD! I've never saw that type of claim but I saw where Steve Player claimed anyone could win $5000 a month using his system. There is a big difference between what a player could do and a guarantee. Jimmy, you're slipping back into that mode where you're making statements th

What Does It Take To Win (Mathematically Speaking?)Reply
RJOH - The public motive behind government involvement in lotteries isn't out of step with the motives behind the people who exploit the fact it exists as an institution to make money from it indirectly. Government lottery operations are there to persuade the population to voluntarily contribute money to ultimately be spent by governments on government priorities. In order to do that the lottery administrations have to maintain enough of a level of security in their methods and operations to pro
