Arrested for buy too many Lottery tickets?Reply
I stopped at a liquor store one night. I purchased a soda and a scratch off. While I was standing in line, I heard the lottery machine printing. I went back to my car and scratched off my ticket. If I'm not mistaken, I won $10 on the ticket. Decided to purchase two more tickets. I went back inside and heard the machine was still running. I noticed the amount at the bottom was $500+ I thought it was a nightly audit or something. Nope. Someone had called the store and played their numbers. That wa

One ticket sold in Maine wins $1.35 billion Mega Millions jackpotReply
The state lottery has to set aside a fixed percentage of fed and state taxes after the win and before the winner comes forward. Most states require 6 months or more to establish residency. It would look like you were intentionally trying to avoid paying additional taxes to state A and it would likely be flagged for an audit with a huge jp win. There is an offsetting credit between states so you would not be double taxed if both states had state taxes.

Lottery pick system on steroidsReply
What s true - CESARFC2000 is lakerben on steroids or lakerben is CESARFC2000 on steroids ? you two have the same stuff without audit trails. I didn t see your having systems with averages, not at least since 2019. Or is it a secret? So you hide your best stuff while throwing down some junk systems overhere? I do several different things I don't show on this site. Why?

81-year-old Mass. man sentenced to prison for part in multimillion-dollar lottery ticket scamReply
I directly know of one instance in which a guy claimed 10k in losses after winning 10k with a MM ticket and wasn't audited. Reminds me of guy that forgot to add a W-2G to his income and he wasn't audited either until a couple of years later. The IRS probably has a winnings amount that triggers an audit and $10,000 might be below it.

Audit of California Lottery finds over $305,000 in improper or dubious spendingReply
...so if l understand this right, Weber is upset because the investigation into the allegations did not go the way it should have which is focussing on the party, promotion practices etc etc. Doing an audit on improper, unallowable costs is not what they wanted so now it's sweeping it under the rug. I recall mentioning earlier careful what you wish for! For all we know, these whistleblowers benefited from much of the questionable cost expenditures. Staying at a hotel for 3 nights whilst living 6

Bill to allow lottery winners to remain anonymous passes Virginia SenateReply
An indepdent audit eliminates this possibility. There is no need to publicize winners and subject them to harassment for marketing purposes. If I won a huge amount, I would do a media interview if they give me 30% more in winnings to compensate. Of course they don't do that, so screw them.

South Carolina's billion dollar mega millions ticketReply
I can see your point on that possibility, Raven. I don't necessarily concur that a majority would have to or want to know. Some might, out of inquisitive interest but if anonymity was standard, as it is in the states you mentioned earlier, then a larger majority wouldn't be concerned. Most likely(IMHO) it would be the skeptics, non-anonymity supporters and conspiracy theorists leading the charge in opposition. As different as points of view are on the anonymity subject, I doubt you would find th

Memo: Iowa Lottery kept selling games after security warningNews Story
A newly unsealed memo shows the Iowa Lottery kept marketing four popular games despite an August 2015 warning from its security chief that their integrity was compromised. The memo was written following the trial of Eddie Tipton, who was convicted of rigging a Hot Lotto jackpot worth $16 million. Steve Bogle, its vice president of security, recommended that the lottery immediately suspend sales of Hot Lotto, Pick 3, Pick 4, and All or Nothing. He told CEO Terry Rich, we cannot allow the ci
