Florida Scratch Offs - Post Pictures if posibleReply
He was coming in to cash in on the ticket. He told me he purchased it at a gas station in Palm Coast, and that he has won $10k on $5 tickets before several times in the past along with numerous $500 and $1k wins on $5 tickets. Guys, I'm done playing scratchoffs for a while. I'm also planning on attending some gambler' anonymous meetings to help with transitioning out of this addiction so that it is more controllable. My recent spree has left me a bit concerned. I may be slightly ahead,

Jackpot claiming preparations. Serious business.Reply
I believe your state, South Carolina, allows winners to remain anonymous. Lucky you. My state has made exceptions to their policy of disclosure when winners demonstrate a high risk of harm. If I win, I need to figure out what my high risk of harm would be.... guess the lottery expert attorney can help me with that one. I like the advice of when you figure out what area you want to live in, rent a nice pad in that area for a year first. The first year of going from rags to riches has got

Signing Your Name on Bacl of Winning Ticket Using Your First Middle Name Initials & Surname
If somehow you did win the Grand Prize in the Lottery and want to hide your identity as much as possible in States where they won't let you be anonymous, can you just initial you first name and possibly your middle name along with your last name written on the back of the winning lottery ticket? For example, say my complete name including middle name is John Peter Smith and my drivers license with my signature is signed John Smith. Can I just have the back of the ticket signed either, J. Smith o

Has the Florida winner come forward yet? I checked my search engine
Yeah I was just curious if anyone claimed the ticket in Florida or are they smart enough not to come out as the third ticket and stay anonymous? I went on my search engine to find out and there is nothing there but the location of where it was sold at. The next yahoo and bing is here. whatzonyourmind Check it out.

Georgia Lottery winner killed during home invasionReply
That is exactly right. Criminals look for the area of least resistance. Meaning they look for who is not armed. There is a huge problem with violence and robberies on the GA tech campus in downtown Atlanta. Why? Because the criminals know these kids are unarmed ( per campus rules) and are carrying expensive laptops and other equipment. This wouldn't be a problem anymore if the students were allowed to carry weapons on campus. Winners need to protect themselves. Holding up that winners check and

Lottery officials say identifying winners a mustReply
Truth be told the lotteries do not need to identify the winners for the games to sell and draw players to spend their money. People are playing lotteries everyday trying too win something not just the big ones and not all winners are required to show themselves unless they want too on smaller prizes in some states. I think that anyone in any state that wins millions should stay anonymous for their own privacy for whatever reasons but when someone that knows the winners use such excuses as long l

Unclaimed £33m UK Lotto winner!Reply
I don't find the impulse to claim as soon as possible strange. Wouldn't you say US winners need to plan longer for reasons specific to us lotteries? Especially in non-anonymous states. Keep in mind UK winners don't need to find lawyers for tax optimization as winnings are tax free and the media won't bother you.

Would you support a cooling-off period?Reply
No one knows you have a winning ticket unless you tell them. You have 6 months to claim the prize. The money from MM or PB won't be in your state for at least 2 weeks. Take the 2 weeks to find an attorney, a financial advisor, and an accountant. If you can't be anonymous ask your lawyer to create a trust and collect the winnings for you. Don't call attention to yourself. Take time to think about how you want to use your money--not how family and friends want. It is your money--not their money.

TN Powerball Winners on the Today ShowReply
I care about the lottery and playing it as a hobby for fun for myself, not about what happens or doesn't happen to other winners. I am too busy living my own life. Most here are just mad they did not win it and are mad that no problems happened, because they went against all of the expert advice given on here daily. So they look for any negative things that they can, and these same people would be saying that the lottery is rigged and that no one actually won it if they did remain anonymous. I h
