Are there any advantages to NOT being anonymous?Reply
That must be it Pita..the trust issue. I don't know why people feel the need to see it to believe it. Maybe it's just the mind frame: Get something for a whole lotta nothing too. Win money, instant friends. Win money, instant popularity. It's what lies beneath the smiling faces of those friends that matters most: I'm going to get mine no matter how I do it. How'd some of us get so rotten? It's a user society...see it, take it, use it, toss it. Disposable morals, virtues and character.

5 greatest movies featuring a lottery winNews Story
Be honest: every time you play the lottery, the same fantasy runs through your head, of you sitting in a bath full of champagne, wearing a top hat and monocle, and throwing wads of cash into the air gleefully. Before you've even left the shop, you've spent half the money that you're almost definitely destined to win, no matter what the actual odds. Feeding this fantasy is the many, many movies that have involved lottery wins, and the results for the winners. They are invariably everyman chara

Does Your State Protect YOU?Reply
You'll find that all kinds of people will ask you for money but this thread touches on people contacting you posing as employees of the lottery 'needing' to 'verify' a few things. What they hope is that you will provide them with the information they need - acct numbers, personal identifying factors etc. One easy scheme for them is to tell you that you need to pay a fee to release your money. I'm sure you've read here on LP about unfortunate victims who were swindled. Don't wor

The North Carolina Education Lottery is keeping the education in its name at least for now. A bill debated Wednesday by a House judiciary committee and aimed at reeling in advertising for the state-run lottery originally directed the lottery to stop using the word education in its advertising.
