Yonkers deli owner sells winning NY Lotto ticketReply
a lot of states have a fixed bonus. it is bad. when the big game jackpot was $363 million (someone check tha accuracy of that for me). the illinois retailer got a check for over $1 million, while the michigan retailer got less than $100,000. there was an article on how the michigan retailer would rather burn his bonus check rather than cash it in.

paying taxes after they takes their taxesReply
another thing to remember is that some states do not tax their own residents if they win the lottery, but if a non-resident wins the same amount, that person will have to pay state taxes (look at hobart parnell. he's from VA, but won a powerball jackpot in 2003 with a ticket purchased in WV. it even mentioned in the article that because he was from out-of-state that he had to pay state taxes.)

Slot MachinesReply
I just read an article to not play the machines on the outside.......everyone plays them...........like you said on the way out to the plane......one last pull.I don't think they have progressive machines at the airport.My brother-in-law plays the slots all the time and wins good.......he said to watch for someone to get a 25 or 50 hit and they walk away thinking it won't hit again......and go play that machine because it will hit again (they are called machines).Think that is the way I am going

Group buys every Pick 3 lottery combination and winsReply
In Illinois everything through 600 dollars cvan be claimed at a retailer with no need to go to Lottery Office. 601 and higher you go to fill out a claim form. I know its the smae in Iowa too so I figure its the same in Mizzou. If not I stand corrected.But put it this way I am sure the guy made money or the article would have never been written in first place. And I am sure the guy wouldnt go through all the hassle if he wasnt gonna make the 20% profit.
