Britain's biggest lottery winner says jackpot ruined her lifeReply
So do I ! The article seems to indicate she's depressed, and that doesn't go away just because someone wins a lot of money.

QuestionReply
Well, durn! I was hoping the article was the real McCoy. As I deal with pattern and relationships of those patterns, I had high hopes of increasing my knowledge. So it was a joke, huh? Well, I don't think messing with my lottory is comic material. And I will wager a $1 dollar Lotto 5 ticket that Jack Whitaker agrees with me.

Record powerball lottery winner reflects on sad lifeReply
I think one problem with posting is that many of us are misunderstood since there is no face to face dialog. It's often hard to express what you want to say in a few words. Then the person who is reading them might be in a good mood, bad mood or simply read them too quickly. Anyway, What I meant by don't be ridiculous is I thought you were saying that maybe it's not such a good thing to win money and I would love to win a million dollars, even 2! I actually don't want the responsibi

Lottery 'glitch' leaves players suspiciousReply
from the article: The glitch might not have happened at all if the lottery had bought the software to pick the random numbers from a different vendor. A Rhode Island firm, Szrek2Solutions, proposed a system costing more than $100,000 less than the one offered by Smartplay. _______________________________________ I corresponded with Irena Szrek and her husband in 2003, when LosingJeff and I were investigating the Hoosier Lottery's fraudulent operation. The RNG's manufactured b

Woman must forfeit $1 million lottery jackpotReply
Computerhead- Please go back and re-read the article in its entirety. You are missing some important legal infractions that played a MAJOR part in this judges ruling. Let me put it to you in kindergarden terms: Johnny stole money from his sisters' piggy bank. Johnny goes and buys lots of candy with it. Momma comes home and finds that Johnny broke into his sisters piggybank. Momma says Bad Deed Johnny, for that you are grounded and have to give all the candy back .

Engineer reported bad Tenn. Lottery computerized drawsReply
The Tennessee Lottery did not state whether or not they conduct their own series of test draws. I thought that after complaints were made the lottery officials said they DID do test draws and that they came up with doubles. People reading this article will be misinformed. Such is media these days...

Lottery winner goes from rags to riches to ragsReply
I agree. Bad news sells newspapers and increases ratings. It also makes juicy gossip, and most people enjoy their gossip. Even though this article is not representative of most winners, it happens to be one of the better stories I have read that documents the tragic rise and downfall of a top-tier winner. The only thing missing is quotes from the key players themselves, but other than that I think it is exceptional in its detail.

Lottery winner goes from rags to riches to ragsReply
This is a horrible story. I remember seeing this guy on TV a few months ago. He was doomed from the start! How do you spend $3 million dollars in 3 months??? That is just absurd! Every story that I read that has this type of ending shows the power of money in the hands of a moron. I hope that if I ever win the jackpot, I will be able to maintin enough humility and sense to control the urges to overspend. The items that this guy purchased just made no sense at all. Mr. Gibbs, his first financial

NJ man 'shocked' by $1 million lottery winReply
I think it's sad that someone suffering with a disease has to worry about paying for medication in this bountiful land of ours. Everyone in need deserves proper medical treatment. On the brighter side, this is a nice article. My grandparents were from Russia and my grandfather walked around singing God Bless America all the time. I just thought of him while I was reading this story.
