Lotto Scam Clears One Woman's Bank AccountReply
First the check clears , then it unclears . If the banks themselves had to eat the loss, they would take better care of this type of thing. On the getting the money back part, after it gets sent to Canada or wherever, a big chunk is wired to Romania or some other uncooperative place. After all, the scammer is a boost to the local economy (where he will spend the money). The authorities there have ZERO incentive to send the money back here. These are not all 1 man operations, they are often

A Losers LamentReply
On your point #2, Indiana not only uses a bad RNG for drawings, but they are also very secretive about their operations, and don't answer all the questions that people send them. Further, there have been documented cases of insider fraud at the Hoosier Lottery (news stories posted at Lottery Post), so many people are naturally suspicious of them.I think the main point Jeff is making is that he has tried all those things you mentioned (and many more!) and is in a long luckless period that starte

Uncle Sam Wins Your LotteryReply
Selling your annuity for a reduced sum (reduced from what you would have got if you'd taken a lump sum to start with, otherwise how could these companies make money) to one of these sleazy hack operations strikes me a fiscal irresponsibilty compounded by knuckleheaded tax and legal advice (if she got any advice at all). This is one case when I side with the government. Whatever you choose live with it, pay your taxes, live within your means, save your money, and be thankful you have your days fr

Play The N.C. Lottery Over The Internet? It Could HappenReply
A year or so ago I was negotiating with one of the tribal casinos concerning some consulting work. During one of the meetings with management the discussion swivelled around to, first, on-line casinos as they pertained to Tribal operations, then to the potential for an on-line tribal lottery.This bunch were savvy on a lot of things about gambling, and this was one of them.
