Do you think states should stop selling scratch tickets if all the top prizes have been claimed.Reply
Unclaimed doesn't mean it hasn't been sold already or that it has even been distributed to a retail location. Someone could hold onto a top prize ticket until the last day to claim. Some have theorized that states control the top prize tickets and may end the game before their distribution or place them in places that sell very few tickets to avoid them having to be paid out. There was a case in Indiana where a store was going to lose their lottery license. The lottery knew it was upcoming

What's the Purpose of the Printed Time of Purchase on Tickets, If Drawing is 15 min to 1 hr Later?Reply

Murder the Thirst Abraham ShakespeareReply
It is too bad that Abraham Lee Shakespeare did not fly somewhere else and start another life. Yes, it's also too bad he also did not question Moore's claim that she was writing a book about lottery winners or investigate her - easy enough to do online - and discover her previous criminal conviction for fraud and filing a false report (a liar!) and that she was anything but a writer. It's too bad that Abraham did not have a good friend such as did James Gatzke*, someone to counsel him and a

The privacy act was introduced by Speaker Robin Vos the same day that a Milwaukee-area man claimed a $768 million Powerball prize this spring.
