NC Lottery tries persuading lawmakers to expand gamesReply
such a move would likely have to wait until next year and would have to get past a sizable cadre of conservatives deeply suspicious of any move to expand the games. Some of the game expansion mentioned in the article is 5 minute Keno, but apparently some legislators are suspicious of any new games. It would be a way to reach the 34-and-under (players) who think the lottery today is their grandparents' lottery. It would be a way to reach that new audience, she said. Lottery Director Ali

Florida woman gives away $43 million Lotto jackpotReply
This is a great story and it's nice to hear how many people think kindly of them. I get it. At 90 the house is probably paid, debts are gone and they've settled into this comfortable routine. Why change what you're happy with? However, even though it is a lot of money that the family never had before, why-o-why would they give away so much in taxes for no good reason? My estimate puts them throwing away about $8.5M assuming each spouse is allotted ~$5.4M before the gift tax kicks in. Mayb

No more scratchers for me. No more.Reply
Saw a article about scratchers, and it said that you should play only the 10.00 and up......the payouts are better if you do hit......i was waiting for a pizza at my local store and i watched a man get two scratchers and he would come back and buy another , and come back and cash in a free ticket......then he came back and had won 30.00 and i thought to myself that guy is only about 5.00 better off than when he started......just not worth it, i don't play scratchers. and another thing t

N.C. Powerball winner target of $10M lawsuit by local pastorReply
The article clearly states, On the last few minutes of the recording, Perry can be heard stating, Well, I appreciate you allowing me to call and spend this amount of time with you this morning. I'm going to go ahead and email you as soon as we hang up. Just reply to that. I'm going to ask for a few things if you just get that to me at your leisure. If these things were not given or contained information that sent red flags or would cause any liability to the foundation, the foundation could

Arizona AG begins investigation of former Lottery directorReply
Could be that a disgruntled employee of the AZ Lottery falsely blew the whistle on Tony Bouie. But you have to admit, abruptly quitting when a hint of impropriety is questioned, and then refusing to answer questions, doesn't shine a favorable light on your innocence. I know a lot of private business owners who use company vehicles for private use, as well as season suite PSLs for the Panthers, NASCAR events, Hornets, etc. Even a huge RV painted on the outside promoting their business, all the

Why do jackpot winners feel the need for an attorney or financial adviser?Reply
I read an article about this, one interesting point that was brought up that resonates with me as I would feel guilty is you have a scapegoat if you feel bad saying no to people. Allot of times with such publicized lotteries you will get thousands of requests from anyone and everyone. You can simply say I gave full authority to my financial and legal team to manage my accounts assets here is there card please contact them. One reason why people (not so much family but hey sometimes even them) do

First lawsuit in state lottery-fixing scandal seeks millionsReply
Do you understand the difference between a valid prize not being claimed by the rightful winner and a prize not being paid because it wasn't really won? Read the article again; it's about a jackpot that was never paid out. Whether it was because a ticket went unclaimed or in this case the claim was invalid per Iowa Lottery rules, the jackpot prize was still never paid. Crawford can prove the jackpot wasn't really won because the lottery declared the winning ticket invalid. The court will de
