More lottery winners using trusts to accept prizes anonymouslyReply
Are you sure about that? Don't they also release the personal info of winners? Like drenick1 says below, why wasn't Gloria advised to do so? Can you point me to the article/law on that? Not being antagonistic, just curious.

Is South Carolina Truly Anonymous?Reply
It is but must specifically be requested. It is not 'advertised' because they prefer to have the winners plastered all over the media sites... it is a great promotion. Remember though, due to lottery winners being paid with state funds, there are steps one could take through the freedom of information act to force the reveal of an anonymous claim. For that reason I think it may be wise to request anonymity and claim through a trust. It would be nice to see the proposed bill go through keeping wi

Friday the 13th is lucky day for Ohio lottery playerReply
Think like a Cubs fan, there's always next year or next month, next week, next Tuesday. 2. If it was only as simple as having a vision board and visualizing, there would be multiple jackpot winners every week. If I knew the all the answers, I would have won months ago. But I keep reading, trying to meditate, clear my mind and release subconcious blocks. I think the key is releasing doubt, fear, and feelings of desparation. Don't try to impose a fixed timeframe for things to happen.

Would you post a Jackpot?Reply
As far as I know you can refuse the picture. The only requirement that's difficult to get around is the posting of your name. You can create a trust, donate your ticket to the trust, and have the trust claim the prize (though, foolishly if you ask me, most people name the trust after themselves). Also, Florida has a habit of also naming the trustee (you) with the trust. So even if you create the Mud Splash Revocable Trust, or whatever, which will be what's listed on the winner's report, they're

8 state lottery websites + Powerball & Mega Millions sites offlineReply
WILL the lottery PR person step-UP to mike PLEASE ................. When 8 states and two major lottery organizations bite D dust EVEN, a psyko could let a press release get loose too the public and their loyal players!! Timing was not the best for Mega Million or Powerball so why DID they allow ticket SELLS on Friday or this Saturday to take place with no EXPLAIN? In 2015, if you can't TRUST the LOTTERY COMMISSION................... ... WHO CAN WE TRUST ??????????????????????????????

8 state lottery websites + Powerball & Mega Millions sites offlineReply
Could the downtime be related to the Hot Lotto saga? Maybe they're auditing the website software for issues, such as backdoors. On a related topic, it always disturbed me how both the Mega Millions and Powerball websites have long had ad pop-ups on first visit. Seems to me if MUSL is that greedy, one has to be extra skeptical of what tactics they're taking to make an extra buck; lack of ethics. While I'm sure most players have never been bothered by the pop-ups, it's always in the back of my

Florida Scratch Offs - Post Pictures if posibleReply
RE: this statement: About 11,000 books were either cancelled, not released, returned, destroyed, etc but they will never be in circulation and neither will their prizes. That 11,000 books probably accounts for one of the unclaimed $1M prizes. Would the FL Lottery actually destroy 100X books (eg, a game that is currently still active and has not yet officially been ended)? Or were you not referring to the FL Lottery doing this? Also, under what circumstances would the FL Lottery cancel

How LOW can ILLINOIS Go -- Pretty LOWReply
That's a good question Bob. Seems like the people running the state would be smart enough to designate the release of funds to the lottery commission since the lottery was put in place to help fund education and pay winners. Maybe they should hand over the check writing to a few math teachers who can actually add, subtract, and multiply instead of state employees who are getting paychecks to say, Here's your IOU. Been out of the loop for the last couple of days fixing some programs. Need

Making the annuity option more attractive?Reply
Option 3 has appeal, above a certain JP level. Illinois has the money, they just can't release it on a technicality. It's not a main factor in my thinking. However, thinking about where interest rates and income tax rates are likely to head, better to pay the tax now and keep investments short term, so when rates go up you can take advantage.
