Iowa Lottery investigation highlights difficult balance between security and profitsNews Story
For more than a year while he worked at the Brick Street Market in Bondurant, Iowa, Matthew Hinrichs quietly stole lottery tickets, cashing in at least $28,000 in illegitimate prize money, prosecutors say. When he was finally caught in 2016, Hinrichs pleaded guilty to two felony counts of fraud and was ordered to pay back those winnings, plus nearly $5,000 more. Lottery officials say their layers of security allowed them to track Hinrichs' activity, providing data that was invaluable to pr

Florida Scratch Offs - Post Pictures if posibleReply
It is crazy. They get what, 5% commission? So $30 profit for every book they sell. The smart retailers will happily tell customers book numbers, and search their inventory to locate and sell books. The stupid/apathetic ones are the ones who fall under the fallacious reasoning that if it isn't on the display that they don't have it. I've had retailers treat me like a scam artist for asking for book numbers. They seem to think that information is confidential despite it being on the back of every

Mad as Hell cause you can't WIN MM or PB...??Reply
The lottery is bullcrap. On every ticket and every slip, you'll see your state followed by education lottery . It's designed to lose and keep people poor while funding kids college grants and such. Which is fine, because I've used college grants and such and still do. but I feel like a god snip fool wishing and hoping for something that's not designed for people to win. It's stupid. And please please please people don't think that Tennessee is some sort of lotto gold mine. Been living her

British Columbia Lottery taking bets on US electionReply
Anyone that has cancer I suggest they try the 35% hydrogen peroxide treatment. It's been shown to be very effective for a number of illnesses and is every inexpensive compared to other treatments. One thing Trump should do is stop the pharmaceutical lobbyist and cut the power of the industry. You will find plenty of pharmaceutical studies that say otherwise but you must remember who will loose the most. If I were Trump I would establish a government controlled research program to loo

Let's review President Obama's responses to Russian activity over the last couple of years: Russia invades Crimea Oh well. Russia shoots down airliner Uh, mistakes happen. John Podesta falls for phishing scam Fire up the Cold War again!!!

Alleged Jamaican lottery scam kingpin arrested in KingstonReply
I worked for the largest money transfer servive in the world for 8 months. I COULDN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE! No matter how you reason with these people and beg them not to send the money, they still want to send it anyway, Just in case it's real. You can give them alln the evidence in the world that they're being scammed and they still want to send the money, Just in case it's real. Once the crooks have their money and in some cases, laugh at them and hang up or even call them names, laugh a

Losing faith in lottery, dismayed at what I'm seeing in AmericaReply
Thanks for the replies. I had typed up a good response last night and then my iPad ran out of battery. But, I've been able to wrap my head around things and actually had a couple of good plays. I left playing the $5 tickets and got a separate couple of $10 tickets and won my first $50! $20 on another game. Atnewkids, I agree with you big time and that confirms my suspicious about buying lottery in town. I live in Tennessee (but travel often and get to buy tickets elsewhere), and I'm wholly c

Man Who Won New Jersey Lottery Jackpot 3 Times Turns Out To Be A Scammer/FraudReply
From what I have read here, it doesn't seem like he is doing any kind of lottery fraud. In one of the articles he says he has spent about $135,000 on lottery. If that much is spent on scratch offs, then isn't a nice win bound to happen? Someone at the lottery corporation would have to know exactly which roll of tickets was at which particular store and then tell him that info and then he would have to go to that store and buy the entire roll before someone else bought it. (That is the only wa

Man Who Won New Jersey Lottery Jackpot 3 Times Turns Out To Be A Scammer/FraudReply
Yeah he promised he was writing a book to SELL to everyone that would explain how to easily beat the lottery. . He had so many people who bought it that they would keep asking him when they could get the book. If you rip off enough people and use their money to buy loads of tickets then you are going to get winners. But he got an impossible number of big winners so I also think he was pulling a scam on the lottery. Its telling to me, that when he won the first $20,000 prize the NJ lo

Man Who Won New Jersey Lottery Jackpot 3 Times Turns Out To Be A Scammer/Fraud
Sorry I start a new thread because the original thread was closed maybe because its been six months. As I am sure most here know, a New Jersey man MIKE DUCKER managed to win the NEW JERSEY lottery top prize 3 seperate time in a year. He has also been posting all over youtube all his other winners. He has posted at least 100 different $500 winners, several $1000 and $5000 winners and untold numbers of $200 and $100 winners. Thats in addition to his 3 top prize winners within a year. He claimed on
