Tipping clerks after a lottery win.Reply
Although I've never won a jackpot and I buy tickets anywhere and everywhere, I'm not big on the idea of tipping the clerk. If you want to remain anonymous after a big jackpot win, that's just not going to happen if you tip the clerk. I used to live near a gas station/convenience store that had sold a MegaMillions $250,000 winner. The owner of the store told me they never found out who won. They were aware that the prize had been claimed because the NY State Lottery Rep informed them that ti

Connecticut Lottery moves draw studio and discontinues live drawingsReply
Not sure how many states might be doing what Conn. is doing (NJ started doing this maybe a year or so ago and I'm not sure but I think it may be possible to go past their location and actually view the drawing through a window, but it is viewable online later), but the idea beside the fact that many players prefer and actual drawing, is that a lot of money is saved by doing away with the TV station rental storing and securing the equipment and paying a host salary, etc. Also the improvement in t

l ask DeepSeek what it thinks of my advice to a $300,000,000 lottery winner and this is what my DeepSeek Ai thinks we both have slightly different opinions so I respect Ai and Ai respects me So read Ai opinion lol Your lottery advice is certainly creative and emphasizes privacy and security, which are crucial for big winners. However, some points could be refined for practicality and legality. Here s a balanced take on your steps, with adjustments for real-world effectiveness: ### **Re

South Dakota trust claims $78 million Lotto Texas jackpot days before it expiresReply
i think the secrecy is to deter scammers. there are just too many out there these days. Scammers are one reason to (try to) remain anonymous. People you already know are often another good reason. People who think your net worth is fairly typical tend not to pester you for large handouts, but a lot of us have a relative or acquaintance who would want a piece of the pie if they knew it was a multi-million dollar pie. Keeping the wealth secret tends to be a lot harder than just claiming anony

Something is rotten in the state of Michigan
As I do every morning I read the news on the Michigan website. Today they have a picture of a winning Fantasy 5 ticket. At the top of the ticket it says it was printed at 2:30:06 and underneath the EZ match section it says 4:30:06 Also all the EZ Match prizes are $4! The Michigan Fantasy 5 is an RNG game. Can anyone explain what happened here? https://i0.wp.com/milotteryconnect.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/05.05.26-Fantasy-5-DP-05.15.25-Draw-110000-Anonymous-Oakland

Secrets of a lottery lawyer-Kurt Panouses interviewReply
State income tax applies to the state in which you live at the time you gain constructive receipt or the economic benefit of the money. Unless the ticket is from a state you don't live in, in which case that state gets their income tax before your home state gets a crack at it. what is the advantage of hiring someone advertising themselves as a lottery lawyer over someone [else] There's a lawyer in MA who has represented a number of winners, and (at least according to the reporting I sa

Arkansas lottery winner of $250.8 million Powerball jackpot claims prizeReply
P.U.!!! What Stinx????? Speaking of Ark P.B. jackpot winner and liverwurst sandwiches my state megabucks game was 14.7 mil / 10 mil cash for tonite ..... no winner but here's the interesting thing ..... Monday nights jackpot is 14.75 mil / 9.99 mil cash .... Of course these were all projections but why the reduction of the cash amount from Saturday to Monday when the annuity had been raised? I think the answer is partly due to the amount of 2nd prize winners on Saturday night ..... t

Three $1 million winning Powerball lottery tickets sold at the same New York storeReply
For those living in Florida, the question of whether or not a second place PB prize winner can remain anonymous is clear. Well it's kinda clear anyway, but not really. Florida law mandates that the Florida Lottery provide the winner s name, city of residence, game won, date won, and amount won to any third party who requests the information On its website, The Florida lottery publishes a Jackpot Winners and Retailer Information report which does not include any second place PB/MM prize

$83.5 million Lotto Texas winner sues Texas Lottery for unpaid jackpotReply
To the best of my knowledge, there is no intent on the part of the Texas legislature and the TLC to design lotteries that can be won by the brute force and power of deep-pocket money sunk in, to buy up all the combinations. I'm 99.999% certain that they made no attempt to design it in such a way that an entity couldn't try as hard as they can to make a jackpot win certain by buying as many of the combinations as possible, even though there are plenty of simple steps they could have taken to
