$32.25 million Lotto Texas jackpot is currently the largest in the USAReply
As a non-resident alien (New Zealand citizen living in NZ) I would be exempt State tax (In some cases they won't even deduct withholding tax. In other cases, you probably have to lodge a claim for a refund). Federal tax (for a non-resident alien) is (generally) limited to the withholding tax rate of 30%. -- that applies to any taxable prize US$600 and above, so we tend tp lose out on the lesser prizes) So tax-wise for a non-resident alien buying using a butler service, there is no differ

$32.25 million Lotto Texas jackpot is currently the largest in the USAReply
If only we could all buy tickets across state lines. The states collect sales tax across state lines but refuse to let the lotteries compete across state lines. Competition would make the lotteries better. The best part of this Texas sized JP is that Texas has no state income tax on it and you can claim it and go for the anonymous option too. I don't understand why the foreign ticket butler services don't buy all their PB and MM in Texas. Too bad we all can't just play whicheve

One NJ lottery ticket wins $124 million Mega Millions jackpotReply
As Ancient Romans would say, Who guards the guard? Lessons must be remembered from the Iowa debacle. Eddie Tipton almost got away with his crimes. The Former Iowa Lottery CEO Terry Rich has said, If Iowa had been an anonymous State then Eddie Tipton would still be free and stealing . New Jersey's record must be looked at in totality with the other States who lead the record of most wins. Is it too good to be true?

SHOCKER!! Powerball jackpot win by statesReply
Thank You for this data. How many of these winners as well as Mega Millions winners do we know anything about. If all States went the anonymous route the games will become boring. I realize that some winners have been harassed and killed. Criminals ruin life for the rest of us.

'Darth Vader' collects $95 million Jamaican Lotto jackpotReply
Simple answer... Many lottery winners from all over the world(including the US and Europe) would want to do the same! Because as soon as you win that much money, that sense of insecurity and fear of the unknown sets in, irrespective of where you are. Hence, the need to conceal your identity whenever possible! This is the same reason lottery players and winners in the US want to be anonymous as well.

One of them almost fainted By Kate Northrop A 30-year-old Michigan resident nearly fainted after discovering that he won not $1,000, but $4 million from a $30 instant scratch-off game. When I scratched the ticket, I thought I had a $1,000 winner because I got a slip that said to contact the Lottery, the lucky winner said. As I looked closer, I saw the '4MIL' symbol, and I almost passed out. The player from Macomb County chose to remain anonymous when claiming his top prize at Lotte

Powerball lottery winner Andrew "Jack" Whittaker dies at 72Reply
His death should've galvanized a movement by lotto players to make all big lotto winners ID anonymous against vultures. Unfortunately, most state lottos are more concerned about using lotto winners in their commercials than their safety. RIP Jack, better luck next life.
