Oregon woman tricked by international lottery scamNews Story
The letter from Star Lotto Prize Inc. promising a big win was so believable.But within a week of receiving it, Juanita Foss of Beaverton had lost $3,000. Any time you get a lottery thing like this it's fraud, said Foss, a retiree who wants to make sure no one else falls for the scam.The swindle starts with an official letter promising a rich reward. It moves forward with a fake check sent to the victim. And ends with the victim forwarding a real check to an international address.The scam may be

Prime ticket serviceReply
Are you saying that when you tried to buy a Lottery Post membership, your bank contacted you with a fraud alert? I have never heard of that before - very strange!Unlike places like Prime Ticket Service, Lottery Post is not offering lottery tickets or services, only a web site membership fee, so it really is nothing to do with the lottery . It is akin to buying a membership to a golf web site. You're buying a membership to a web site, not anything to do with the lottery. So there shouldn't b

Iwon, I won, Hot Damn I won!! YippeeReply
Bob i don't know much about the fast service from free lotto if or not they send you any forms. I think it's up to you the person playing to check your numbers and if you won you contact them and they contact you and then you get the deal done.What he received is definitely a fraudulent email as the person who's name appears in the form is a known fraud scammer and has many pages of fraud emails he sends to unsuspecting people posted on the web. These guys that do this are very dangerous indeed.

Maryland Lottery a case study in the science of random numbersReply
You might be right overall, but they didn't pay voluntarily. They took him to court, or they made him take them to court, for payment. Any number of ways they might have caught him, but one of those ways involves pride of achievement and bragging rights.Seems to me they'd have had a lot of difficulties getting a grand jury to indict him on fraud if all they had was the evidence of two wins. Or five. Or sixteen.Fraud involves a number of fairly specific holes that have to be filled with fairl

Maryland Lottery a case study in the science of random numbersReply
You are correct, and this is the crux of the problem. When using computers for lottery drawings, as players, we simply don't know (a) what is going on inside the computer to generate the numbers, (b) if the numbers are truly random or are really following a pattern of some type, and, (c) if there is any fairness to the whole thing.Eliminating computers and getting back to real lottery drawings is the only satisfactory answer, and instantly and totally eliminates all those issues. Reverting bac

Some information about PowerballReply
You seem to be trying to give some sort of tutorial on the honesty of the lottery but to me it seems to be much too vague and filled with far too many protestations alluding to its honesty and the gullibility of the readers. You knew a guy who worked for the lottery and that's all the info he could provide you. The only provable facts-I'll accept them as provable-concern a Philadelphia drawing which obviously would be pubic info and so it doesn't amount to any inside info. Give us some specif
