Winning the Mega Millions... hmmm...Reply
No mega millions is not rigged. The security of mega millions is probably better than your local bank branch and rivals that of some museums. Mega million does not screen the millions of players. Mega millions does not know who the winner will be before the draw. Some winners in Maryland prefer to remain anonymous I'm sure they have their reasons like Litebets said Bunky Bartlett won and has been doing all kinds of stuff with his money

Should we trust?Reply
It's not a well written article, but he didn't hack into an RNG comuter that generates winning numbers. What he did was create entries for fake winning tickets. While the story isn't completely clear, the hacker worked for a company that worked with the Shenzhen lottery center. This isn't any different than somebody who works for G-Tech or Scientific Games creating entries for fake winning tickets. Running a lottery requires having computers and employees, and some employees will always use thei

Frequent lottery wins by retailers investigatedReply
The video report didn't indicate whether these winning tickets were scratch-offs or terminal print outs or both. It would be hard to scam a terminal game with a independent draw except where they dupe the playing public by telling them they lost on a winning ticket and then keeping it to cash in. I've heard of retailers scanning the bar codes of scratch-off tickets and pulling out the winners and cashing them in then putting the no prize or low value prize tickets back out to be sold to the publ

Frequent lottery wins by retailers investigatedReply
Most of the tickets are 3 and 4 number games. The winning tickets are probably being cashed by these retailers for others who do not have proper ID or know they owe money - no U.S. ID, back taxes, child support, etc. which most states will cross reference with the social security number - and the state will take that out of their winnings. The retailer cashes the customer's ticket and takes a cut of the winnings for their service and to cover taxes due. As far as I know, in most states, it

What's to prevent Scientific Games or Lottery employees buying winners?Reply

I don't really want to start a hornet's nest discussion. You can read my prior posts if you want to. Believe / Ignore what you want to. In short, I believe (MM states / PB states) lottery terminals are linked to a cental computer which has the software on it to do many thousands of things. If I was to suggest some of those things, I would get body slammed on this thread. If you really want to know how it works, talk to the security division of the software vendors that drive most of these lot

Lottery reciepts: are they necessary?
It just hit me a few days ago. I never keep my lotto reciepts, and never felt the need to. Heck, most of the time, the store clerk doesn't even give it to me! Now, there's no official rule saying that the reciept is necessary to claim prizes; all they ask is photo ID, social security number, and of course the winning ticket, but by not bothering with the reciept, could that leave me SOL when I try to claim a prize (if I actually do win big)? If anyone has had experience or knows how it wor

$500K lottery prize divides two elderly sistersReply
Hey Bakaysa, you had no trouble taking the eighty grand from your sister when you agreed to the contract, now you should have no problem paying her half of the five hundred grand as you agreed to. If the judge rules the contract invalid, you should give back the eighty grand. BobP At Scam Boys we sell a false sense of security to those who can't afford the real thing.
