Lottery's biggest loser: Albany man passed on office pool that won $319M jackpotReply
If you read the article, it said they asked him several times if he wanted to get in for the draw that night, he kept saying No he didn't feel lucky. So I don't Say no to any part of the Pot. We had a pool in our Maintenance Dept. on 3rd shift I would go to Illinois at the time for tickets, it was made clear money had to be paid before I went for the tickets, everyone put in the same amount, we made up copies for everyone with the tickets front and backs after everyone signed the tickets that

Worker skips office Mega pool, loses share of $319MReply
I might add, had this guy been an avid player for let's say 2 years, not missing one time except for this one...OUCH....( I thought I had bad days at work...lol), the guilt of not giving this poor guy something...anything, would haunt my soul. On the other hand, like i said before, if he's a part time player who only plays when he feel like it, then I wouldn't feel so bad. There's not enough info in the article showing which individuals played, or how often, so there's no way of knowing right

N.C. store owner accused of stealing winning lottery ticketReply
They said how they found her in the beginning of the article: Kecia Nehring Parker's favorite lottery numbers turned out to be lucky in more than one way. Not only did they win her a prize of nearly $88,000, but her clockwork regularity in playing them enabled North Carolina State Education Lottery investigators to track her down after they took the winning ticket from a convenience store owner accused of trying to steal her jackpot. This artcle is somewhat scant on the detai

Canadian wins second multi-million lottery jackpotReply
I'm confused by this information provided by CBC. The article reads Ann's former husband and later refers to relationship as the opposite, stating separated [yet still legally married husband?] -- are they legally married or legally divorced? If they are legally still married, it is possible that Ann will be returning the favor of her husband's lottery win from 3 years and 4 months earlier; by splitting half or so with him -- if that is how NT Canada's legal system prescribes. Not having

Determinism vs Randomness and ChanceReply
Sorry Raven62. I think I jumped the gun with my finger slap for your post without a link. Upon re-reading it, you deserve the benefit of the doubt in this case. You could have easily assumed most would know it was an excerpt, and/or just forgot the link. Also, your grammar and spelling is fine, in fact, better than most. Additionally, posting the article on Indeterminism was right on topic, more than can be said for some of the others posting on this Topic!

Disputed $50M lottery jackpot partially paid outReply
And this is the prime reason to NEVER buy any tickets for yourself at the same place as you made the purchase for the lottery pool! You as the person running the lottery pool ALWAYS purchase your personal tickets at another retailer 10 minutes after the purchase for the lottery pool! And you NEVER buy the same number of tickets as the lottery pool! I will never buy into any lottery pool of any kind at any time in my life, for this one reason as above in the article! I don't need the headac

Statistician cracks secret code behind lottery ticketsReply
To me, this is just another reason not to buy scratch off's. I'm in New York, and I've never seen anyone get to pick which individual scratch off ticket they want to buy. Scratch-off tickets are in a clear plastic display case and the clerk simply tears off the next available ticket and hands it to the customer. Retailers buying back unscratched tickets? Not saying it cant happen, but I've never seen it. All of that said, I'm sure the guy featured in the article did expose the flaw. But h

Statistician cracks secret code behind lottery ticketsReply
A store owner or a clerk would have access to the tickets and remove what they believed to be the winning tickets and sell the rest. They would know amount of the prize and wouldn't buy the free tickets or tickets that paid off in equal value and sell them to customers. If their method had a 60% accuracy rate, they would make a nice profit. And even if they were smart enough to spot such a flaw in the design of the tickets, they would probably (as he suggests) have a more profitable way of m

Tax Strategies For Lottery Winners - Lump Sum vs InstallmentsReply
I would take the lump sum. Just because this article was written by an expert doesn't mean he knows what's best for me or that I should follow his advice. When it comes to installments I just keep thinking of Social Security. What happens when the State or Gov etc decides they need to borrow from this (your) money. Never say never.......I think it could happen.
