You ever heard of Corporate Gangsters? This is what has hit N.C. Just like it did the Tri-States Lottery and the CT. Lottery..... FRAUD ! Glad they were caught........

He smoked a pipe right in the court room...Lol.....really.... Use

Florida Lottery Secretary Cynthia O'Connell is stepping down with the announcement coming days after reports surfaced that she spent more than $30,000 on travel last year.

Post your scratch ticket resultsReply
OSH- Have been there myself and you are not alone! It is chasing, thinking and knowing you can get it all back and have done it myself. I have always purposely set a daily cash withdrawal limit on my check card of $500, mainly for fraud purposes in case it got stolen, but also in case I found myself in the casino (only one to be had here in NC). At least here, I have shown myself that scratch-offs are NEVER a way to win some quick cash. I have a bin full of losers (buying books of 30 at

It's time the lottery needs to stop releasing a person name and picture when a big win is won!Reply
There have been several new posts in this thread since I jotted the following down on a Notepad document. Instead of addressing/quoting each post I wanted to reply to, this will do instead. As I commented about earlier in this thread, I did a search for lottery winners killed and found only a few cases. The most publicized case was Abraham Shakespeare, killed by a friend and roommate, Jeffrey Dampier, killed by his sister-in-law and her boyfriend and Urooj Khan, whose death was initially

States pull the plug on Monopoly Millionaires' ClubReply
Many jackpot games don't take in enough to cover the initial jackpot. Pretty sure this is true with both PB and MM. Roll-overs are critical for profitability, since such games are designed to initially run in the red. Monopoly Millionaires Club required both high levels of sales from the get-go along with numerous, consecutive top prize roll-overs. Even with a decent level of play, MMC financials were going to be dicey - their sales projections were far too optimistic. And also, in my view, f

Programmer Who Does It For Pick 4Reply
What one should be aware of? Of giving a little bit to get a lot? You'd better die than tell the doctor anything? A good programmer could save you hours and days of manual or excel work. This nice intention should be precious and encouraged instead of being ticketed as possible fraud. He has to work hard and spend a lot of time to make someone's life easier. Be aware that a good lotto programmer the most likely has your problem already solved or built in his programs. Programme

2 people signed back of winning scratch off, what do we do? how do we get it cashed?Reply
wow...they suspect fraud now. Maybe they are right to do that, maybe not. What made you have your wife sign it other than not being able to find your license/ID?? Anything? There are reasons not to honor a ticket that has cross marks or signatures over other signatures or other corrections made to it. Sometimes people get happy and ahead of themselves and think WAIT! I've got that pesky payment due to the state or WAIT! I want a piece of this and I'll sign it for you instead

Cottage industry helps lottery winners dodge taxesReply
Ok here is what the US Gov IRS did Poking around a little bit, the US originally demanded UBS hand over the names and accounts of 52,000 people. However, Swiss tax officials responded that does not identify any facts that could be construed as constituting tax fraud or the like, but rather makes a broad demand for the identity of all U.S. taxpayers for which certain forms have not been filed. That would be against the spirit of the 4th amendment. The only thing that changed is that the

Powerball Power Play Number Almost Always 2 ?Reply
LottoMetro, If a game proves signficantly non-independent, then would you consider testing the hypothesis of a system. Of course. But opportunities like the Cash WinFall game in Massachusetts don't appear very often. And if you were a larcenous programmer in a lottery IT department, would you engineer draw output in a computerized game that would be useful to anyone but yourself and possibly those who were required to get it installed? IMO if no bias exists (aka 100% indepen
