Going to the Lottery Office this afternoon! Woot!Reply
Yes, I'm sure they just meant that they don't deduct it from your check on the lower amounts. The lottery isn't the IRS, and most of them won't even pretend to know what your tax burden will be. All they know is what they take out of your check. If they wrote down your social security number, they WILL report it to uncle sam, and you will get a form next year for tax purposes.

NJ Powerball winner wants his old life backReply
This is just much ado about nothing. Little ol'Willie, appears to have delusions of grandeur, talking about himself, in the same breath, with Faith Hill and Tim. For a guy who claims that they are bugging him, he sure has an uncanny way of making himself available. It almost sounds like he feels he is not getting enough attention. $4M can be a lot of loot, but it does not compare to the monster jackpots of late. And for his security detail , his shotgun...the whole thing is almost laughable. Lit

Lottery winner to send sales clerk on vacationReply
The State Lottery Headquarters sending a rep to view one of their jackpot ticket printing, lottery vendor's security tapes, apparently, now happens way quicker than it used to! Fine, as long as the State Lottery Headquarters doesn't play (leak) the video footage immediately on the local and/or national news!

Twelve things not to do if you win the lotteryReply
There has to be more to this bearer instrument thing. It's not a question of what a bearer instrument is so much as people's understanding of what it is. A bearer instrument is simply property that is not registered to the owner. That makes it the same as almost every other piece of property you own. If somebody steals your TV and tries to sell it prospective buyers may assume that the TV belongs to the person selling it, but it still belongs to you. If somebody buys the TV and you are able

Lottery tickets are bearer documentsReply
Good question. I'm not sure, but according to the lotto officials, you are responsible for keeping your ticket(s) safe and sigining it. If you say you found the ticket, which I personally wouldn't do, and the only way to prove who bought the ticket is to go over security cameras from the store. Plus it would be difficult to find the acutall person who bought the ticket unless they come forward. And they might not even know they bought the winning ticket since they lost it. So you will probaly en

Powerball and Mega random number picking??Reply
Its random alright, if there was a set pattern to winning these games-the lotteries would not be able to function on a profit basis.Imagine if you will if everyone entering a Casino kept hitting the million dollar jackpots, security would be combing the floor, they would shut down those machines and deem them malfunctioning, why?- because they would say its not normal to be hitting the winner as frequently as they are. The house always wins'- that's the bottom line.

powerball quick pickReply
Some time back there was a state lottery scam where it was done in full view. What they did was the balls are only suppose to be 1/10 off of weight from each other. Weighed before being placed in the machine. And replaced after so many days. In this case a couple people were involved and weighted balls with white paint. They looked like the rest of them so no one saw the difference. And of course the balls not weighted came up. This was done right before the balls were due to be changed. Then th

powerball quick pickReply
I don't know how it could be done on quick pic draws. But then again I am not clear how the same quick pic numbers are showing up in the same area which happen to be NJ, and happen to be one of the relatives who helped create the game. Can lottery be rigged? yep that's been proven already, and any con worth his weight will tell you if there is money involved there are ways to rig it. They prove that over and over again. But I am curious what method PB has in place door security as all lottery ar

What is the ideal amount of money you would like to win ?Reply
Friends and family wouldn't be much of a problem for me as part of the reason for wanting $200 million is so that I can give each of my family members and close friends enough money to retire on, minimum $2 million each. As for the public, basic security needs to be assured with any size jackpot. Unlisted phone, gated community, etc. And a good financial/legal team is critical. Anyone who asks you personally for money you can just say I've got people for that. I've never touched the money mys
