They may or may not actually predetermine the draw numbers, but the

Georgia to sell tickets onlineReply
The only other option (besides a courier like UPS/FedEx) would be to trust the GA Lottery to hold onto your ticket and let you know if you have a winner or not. And, I don't know about the rest of you, but there have been too many horror stories lately about dishonest clerks/lottery personnel/etc. for me to trust anyone other than me to hold onto that ticket.Until we have a change in the postal service rules and regs, it's somewhat doubtful that GA would allow ticket sales for out of state w

Online Lottery Pool
Recently there was a post by Cyrus wanting to join an online lottery pool. Why not form one here on Lottery Post if enough members were interested? RJOh made some good points in replying to Cyrus' request. Butt if you've ever tried to get family, friends and coworkers to go in with you, you have probably found that it is hard to keep it together with everyone playing consistently enough for it to be a true pool. So many excuses. They have to have more than a passing interest and want to do it no

How to Remain Anonymous?Reply
Don't play in groups without a written agreement and a Federal Employer's ldentiftcation Number (for tax purposes). Remember, if your understanding is not in writing, your dream-come-true could become your worst nightmare.Most lotteries payout each jackpot to only one individual or entity. If you claim all the money, the lottery reports only your Social Security Number to the IRS and only you must pay all the federal income taxes due. If you distribute the winnings among group members, you are a

Lottery feelings still run deepReply
I don't believe in gambling, Morris said. I'm a religious person, and I don't believe in it. Sure, Lou. But if you lived in Pa., you'd be the first one to jump on the gravy train, that is fueled by lottery poceeds. Here in Pa. (and only in Pa.) those proceeds benefit Senior Citizens. For those of us, did you say you're 52? I'm 55 and got 5 more years before I could retire. Sort of funding your own retirement. Do you have stock, pay social security?, contribute to other pension funds. D

I don't think anyone has won more than once in any given lotto. I read where a man won two jackpots using the same numbers in two different state lotteries. But, when you come right down to it, there will never be a number generator that will win consistently. In Texas, the lottery uses 3 different machines, 4 ball
