N.Y. couple wins $162M lottery jackpot - but owes $1MReply
No, none of us know the facts but some seem a little anxious to knot the rope. It's like they're saying: Let's give 'em a fair trial and hang 'em in the morning. It makes me wonder coming from this venue, if some of the vitriol isn't just resentment for their winning of the jackpot. ----------------- 'An angry Richard Morrison told reporters outside his home in Miller Place Wednesday night that the county's claims were baseless.' It's a lie! he hollered. It's a lie! ---------------

Florida couple claims share of historic $1.6 billion Powerball jackpotReply
There can't be anonymous ways to claim winnings due to the past corruption in lotteries. Even with non-anonymous there still is some corruption, but it is at least a little easier to ferret out. Classic - Hot Lotto is most recent example. McDonald's Monopoly, at one point, was another where all the big winners were friend's or relatives of people involved with the game. Plus if you go back even further, there are tons of stories. Edit - not lots... stay away from hyperb

How The Winners, Not Numbers, Are Picked. A Theorem.Reply
From my previous posts, it's evident that I do not believe the fix is in when it comes to online lotteries. Lotteries are not new. Colonial America held lotteries as one method of raising tax revenues. Lotteries served many and various purposes. Sometimes lotteries were used to raise funds to build a hospital. In the late 19th century lotteries were banned by law mainly due to fraud and corruption. In 1960, they resurfaced. With a history of corruption and fraud, in 1960, state govermen

I'm ready to move on so this'll be my last comment on the subject. The truth is neither of us know what they were really doing in the name of the homeless. That's why I originally said if they were in fact embezzling then they should be made to pay with hard time. Let's wait for the investigation to say what's what. Healthcare scam? Why is it everyone so offended by healthcare reform never has an answer for the 46 million without coverage? Corruption occurred before, during, and long af

Interesting.... Well..with that kind of money, you can buy any material object you can think of. 'Things' alone can not satisfy you for long... you'd get bored of any car, home or anything else you can imagine in a short time after the novelty wears off. Here's what I propose...
