Should one play if they have others feeding themReply
I agree it would be most impossible to monitor who and who shouldn't play the lottery or who or who shouldn't repay after a big win. It was just a theoretical question that was address and people were able to give their opinions. The greedy will never attempt to repay the government for putting a roof over their head or food in their stomachs when they were/are having hard times. There are lots of people who abuse the system and when turned in as Fraud... nothing is done. I know peopl

Info On RNG'SReply

Lottery dream shattered for N.C. coupleReply
Is this an alternate reality? You gotta be kidding me. There is a barcode on the back of the ticket that is scannable ANYWHERE (in the state played).

The print out said

A change in the format of Pennsylvania Lottery scratch-off tickets to prevent fraud means that some lottery players could be mistakenly tossing away winning tickets, retailers said.

N.C. Lottery conviction sends message about disclosureReply
NCPicks: Yes, Indiana has an attorney general, and he has been apprised of the situation. His response, however, serves to illustrate the mentality we're up against. He wrote back and told us that, if any wrongdoing is proven, his office will be defending the crooked lottery officials. We've contacted congressmen, senators and our governor, met with state representatives, lottery officials, prosecuting attorneys, the Marion County Grand Jury, the state police and many, many others. No one
