Clerk tried to steal $14 million lottery ticketNews Story
Includes video report A retired New York transit worker is a big winner, but it took some detective work to find out just how big. $14 million, it turns out.

Illinois Lottery privatization announcement expected WednesdayNews Story
Southtown Star Editorial Illinois Gov. Pat Quinn is about to make a billion-dollar decision to which most of us haven't paid much attention. For months, consortiums and companies have been working behind the scenes to become the jackpot winner of a prize that will set an international gambling precedent. Illinois is soon to become the first in the United States to turn over its state lottery operations to a privately owned company. How this experiment progresses undoubtedly will set preced

Lottery heartbreak: Florida man says he lost $500,000 ticketNews Story
Florida Lottery security officials have opened an investigation into the case of a 69-year-old Wellington man who lost a scratch-off ticket worth $500,000. But it's too early to tell if Louis Tolentino will get the money. They have begun an investigation, but there's nothing conclusive at this time, said Laurie Wright, spokeswoman for The Florida Lottery. Tolentino is behind on his mortgage. His maintenance payments are past due. Medical bills are mounting. His $500,000 scratch-off

Connecticut man sues friend for share of lottery prizeReply
I saved a copy of an article I had read a few years ago on what to do should you win a large amount of money playing the lottery. I think it sounds like pretty good advice, here's what it says..... Lottery Winners Strangely enough, winning millions in the lottery can be the worst thing that ever happened to you. The money can strain relationships with your spouse and relatives. It can turn your friends and neighbors into leeches. It can ruin your privacy. It can cause security problems, th

Anybody playing lottery out of revenge?Reply
The Awakening A time comes in your life when you finally get it When in the midst of all your fears and insanity, you stop dead in your tracks and somewhere the voice inside your head cries out ENOUGH! Enough fighting and crying or struggling to hold on. And, like a child quieting down after a blind tantrum, your sobs begin to subside, you shudder once or twice, you blink back your tears and through a mantle of wet lashes, you begin to look at the world through new eyes. This is your awak

Official gets 8 years at home for rigging lotteryReply
Mr. Foreman's attorney was former Hoosier Lottery Director Jack Crawford. Before we get off on the wrong track here, I should emphasize that our lottery had balls when Mr. Crawford was in charge (you can read that however you'd like), and the Hoosier Lottery was making all kinds of money before he left his post. He was the best lottery director we've ever had, and without a doubt the most honest man who has ever held that post. I spoke with Mr. Crawford when the newspapers reported that

I'm scared to tell people I know how to beat the slot machines. I'm also wondering how many people in America know how to beat them. 1) Each machine wins, no matter what.

Indiana lottery players still hunting year-old jackpotReply
Anyone who does not question what is going on here in Indiana fails to view the Hoosier Lottery situationin it's totality. The fact is the Hoosier Lottery has been cheating players out of their money for years. They do so with impunity and with the full protection of the politicians in this state. Recent cases in point: 1. Hoosier Lottery Executive Esther Q. Schneider was forced to resign due to a veritable plethora of ethics violations. These charges included (among other things) using
