Ontario lottery winners: remember when you bought the ticket ... or elseReply
They could refuse payment, because a bearer bond doesn't mean what most people think it means, but they aren't refusing payment. The delay is a result of their new rules because of insiders winning too many prizes. There's an article with more info here: http://www.canada.com/windsorstar/news/story.html?id=05c5068b-bb69-4f8f-8298-4915eb0ea20f @ scarychick: Some lotteries print the time on the ticket and some don't. I can't figure why any of them do, other than complete stupidity. The lotte

what would get you to pull the triggerReply
I don't really have regular numbers but if I had numbers I intended to play but didn't I'd probably lose it but if I was intending on playing some numbers there's no way I wouldn't, I can't really see myself going bankrupt since I think I've learned enough from my own mistakes that weren't that bad and the mistakes of past winners but on the other hand bankruptcy isn't always a bad thing, well unless you actually do lose everything, heh. Losing a winning ticket would just be maddening that yeah,

New Powerball / Mega Millions SurveyReply
It seems pretty clear that it's an actual pool, and that's why the numbers have to be QP's. In theory it could work without actually selling 10 identical tickets, and in the event that a partial pool won the jackpot the remainder would roll over to the next drawing. In reality I can't imagine that it would be done that way, and there's no reason to do so. Overall ticket sales may not be a multiple of 10, bt they can easily sell pool tickest in sets of 10 by simply stopping pool sales a bit befor

Why you should try to remain anonymous if you ever win a jackpot!Reply
Jack was a good ol'boy so he couldn't just go quietly, he had to make a spectacle of himself and I've found his regretting winning the jackpot and wishing he tore up to just be disingenuous seeing how if the lottery ruins your life, would you play it ever again? Jack did and won another 10 grand. Then again, he supposedly went broke due to lawsuits and claimed that thieves broke into multiple accounts of his at the same time and drained his funds while in court over his grand daughter's boyfrien

POLL: Time travelReply
Going back in time with the knowledge you currently have you would know the outcome of an event that you have memory of. To go forward in time you take the knowledge that you have acquired and use it to your best advantage for tomorrows decisions. We all acquire knowledge to make our lives better. However you do not know what the outcome will be with any decision. But you give it your best shot .

POLL: Time travelReply
Does this time machine come with magical powers, too? How would one have prevented planned military operations? There are a few of those going on right now; no time machine required. Hop to it. As far as other events , if they were unpleasant, history shows it's best to keep it to yourself as you're going to be ignored at best, and accused at worst. In between are the possibilities of ridicule and/or job loss. You may get credit after the fact, but the event will still have taken place. Most

Man chooses wrong lottery numbers and wins jackpotNews Story
For years, Bobby Guffey of Roanoke has been playing the same numbers in an attempt to win the Hoosier Lottery. His picks represent a combination of ages and numbers representing the months of his kids' birthdays. But when he bought a ticket for the Aug. 6 drawing of the Hoosier Lotto game at the Econoasis in Huntington, it was dark and he had forgotten his bifocals. He didn't realize until he was outside that the last number was accidentally 48 instead of his usual 46. It turns out

interest tax questionReply
This was a thread about income tax and if it is taxable as income, and we've gone way, way off on another subject. A lot of people enjoy challenging the IRS, but if I won millions, I hope I'd be too busy enjoying life and helping others to bother with lawyers and Grand Jury hearings, etc. Regarding bearer bonds, keep in mind that the reason they were outlawed was because they're not registered bonds and cannot be traced. A safe deposit box is also not insured and, in the likely event its c
