Mega lottery winners to leave 'check-by-check' daysReply
Even if you decide to go public and not use an anonymous trust, why do you have to announce your name to the world the next day, before you've had a chance to think about anything? Would it kill them to think about this for a week and then go public? I guess it would. The attention is overwhelming ? No sh*t, Sherlock. It looks like they are going to the Jack Whittaker school of idiotic lottery winning. >Earlier Monday, Tonya Harris told CNN that God blessed us... God is a good God. W

Rule #1 For WinnersReply
Good day mate. I agree with you. As soon as you can convince the American lottery officials of rule number one, please let us know you've acheived your goal. I liken this whole thing with traffic lights here in Florida. They won't put one up until someone gets hurt or killed unfortunately. Let's hope for our sake, it never has to go that far for the Americans to implement being anonymous, even though there have been foul play here, but i guess not enough to warrant it. Too bad. Also, you h

Judge rules thief keeps lottery jackpotReply
This article says Timothy Elliott robbed two banks and the other article said he was caught attempting two unarmed bank robberies. I agree with you that armed robbery is a very serious crime and many states have mandatory prison time, but that's not what he did. The title is sort of misleading because Elliott didn t actually steal anything. Both articles mention his mental health state so he probably walked in the banks unarmed, demanded the money, and when the tellers stopped laughing, they

Something New To Discuss at LPReply
I have not heard a valid (to me) reason YET why winners can not be anonymous. Perhaps you've noticed that some people already think that state lotteries are using fraudulent methods to get more than the 50% they're guaranteed by simple probability? Suppose the lotteries just said, somebody, but we're not saying who, won. Really. You can take our word for it, even though no actual person is coming forward to say that they won. My guess is that a lot of people would think that the state

Past Posters You MissReply
Pac, I didn't realize this was a new thread! LOL So I checked ran out of topics..... There are only so many times you can ask quick picks or your own numbers? or would you remain anonymous? So how about starting a survey like If you won the lottery, would you buy a pet? or a poll like if you won the lottery, what flooring would you want in your new home? (a) carpet (b) tile (c) laminate (d) wood (e) none (f) dirt (g) other, explain I think the answer in many cases is prob

Best jackpot advice yetReply
1. Win the jackpot in a state where you can remain anonymous. 2. Have an attorney form a blind trust. 3. Don't tell anyone other than that attorney. Any questions?????

Stolen lottery money returned to real winnersReply
I see people all the time walking into stores with piles of tickets. They don't have a clue that it's just like asking a stranger is this $100 bill real? Nope, I'll just throw it away for you. Most people aren't going to steal your money (I need to have faith in mankind!) but if not human, then there might be a computer error. Still, all lottery terminals should detail every scan and display win or no win and the dollar amount or jackpot I'd want to remain anonymous, but mayb

'Infrequent buyer' claims $34M Powerball lottery jackpotReply
In fact, not only do I agree with you, but LuckyLry proves that we all have a right to remain anonymous. As far as owing money or child support, the state always runs a person's social security number before giving him/her a penny. You don't get the money the day you walk into the lottery office. A criminal and credit background is done. If you owe child support you are in violation of the law. If you have unpaid traffic tickets, or haven't paid a judgment, that money will be paid to yo
