Hoosier Lottery Does It AgainReply
Four4me:Specifically, I was referring to your comment, I don't think (they're) hiding info... I've posted many times that the Hoosier Lottery refuses to release public information, whether the request is made in writing via certified mail or in person. In fact, on one occasion, we were told to go home and put our request in writing. Reluctantly, we did so, only to be told to make an appointment and go back to Indianapolis and make our request in person!I know you've spoken up in support of our

Kentucky lottery winner donates entire prize to collegeReply
This story isn't any different than most as far as what it says about taxes, leaving it up to the reader to find out the truth on their own. Although it's in the fine print at the bottom of the page, you clearly say that the withholdings and the actual taxes owed are different things. Very few articles mention anything about the actual tax obligations, and many will say something along the lines of after taxes, the money would come to $7.6 million a year for 30 years or a lump sum of $110 mill

A new potential Hoosier Lottery Scandal
Man I'm getting of writing about the Hoosier Lottery! And I had to really search for this one:OK...the Hoosier (Indiana) Lottery has recently (and again without fanfare or public announcement that I could find) just awarded their advertising contract to the firm of Brandy, Carrol, Hellige of Lousiville Kentucky. The only blurb I could find on this came from the firm's news release page:http://www.bch.com/news_room_hl.phpWhy is this important? Well, Govenor Daniels made a big deal of his oppon

MM annuity equivalent in PB: $93M.Reply
Hmm. Does this mean that FL has a pretty good payout or they are underestimating the actual ticket sales? I'm mentioning this because I often see cash values as high as 60% of the advertised jackpot to winners for the Lotto and 70% for the FL MegaMoney which has jackpots ranging from $500K to $2M (maximum) From my calculations the average is around 56% for the 6/53 Lotto and 67% for FL MegaMoney which is 4/44 1/22 for the Megaball. I could be missing something, but I've never seen anything s

MM annuity equivalent in PB: $93M.Reply
I suspect that what MM will do is simply to mimic Powerball by adjusting the annuity to make it look bigger. That's too bad in my opinion. Many lotteries have approached their advertising by inflating annuities, including NJ Pick-6. In fact, you cannot even find out what NJ's cash value is - they don't advertise it or even release it. They stopped telling the cash value when they started inflating the annuity.Personally this makes me reluctant to buy NJ Pick-6 tickets. Other people seem to a
