Man dons disguise to claim lottery jackpotReply
I have an uncommon last name, so anyone who reads about me cares would recognize my name. At first I thought this was a joke, but I don't see how a disguise will make a difference. I can't remember what any lottery winner in the past looks like. I mean, even Jack Whittaker could be standing next to me in the supermarket and I wouldn't have a clue. This really explains, however, why all winners should remain anonymous. A press conference just makes matters worse. The man is concerned about

Tenn. lawmakers want to force lottery to drop computer drawsReply
Do you think the lotteries just go down to Best Buy and pick up a copy of RNG for Lotto and then leave it running (with all default settings unchanged), only drawing a set of numbers when they need one for a real drawing? If it's good RNG program, the only way to predict the numbers would be to exactly replicate all of the conditions required for the generation of the drawing. Each drawing will be a unique event using a new seed, and there won't be any next result to predict. That the numbers mi

Went public too soon?Reply
I would have chosen to claim the funds under a trust and would have told the lottery officials that they are not to use my likeness (display any photo of me, or make any video and post it on the news, or internet, etc...) and they are not to release any of my information... Maybe they saw Forbes's list of 1065 Billionaires and figured if the richest people in the World can't remain anonymous, why bother. Had they read the consensus in most how to play lottery books, they would have never pl

Official gets 8 years at home for rigging lotteryReply
Jim695 posted the answer to how anyone found out. Foltz and Adkins then drove to Crown Point. They stopped at a little Mom Pop store there and bought every $20 scratch-off in the place, spending between seven and eight hundred dollars and, sure enough, they found a ticket worth a million dollars. The next day, one of the men went to Hoosier Lottery headquarters and claimed $25,000, which was half of the first installment. Hoosier Lottery Director Jack Ross paid the claim personally, but

Who really need money?Reply
Yes, but your sister's limo driver can't take off 2 or 3 times a year whenever the mood hits, and I'm guessing he has to stay straight sober in case a random drug testing...oh, and he must also pay taxes and social security and have .....uh, an address! Edit: Wow - I had no idea you get 1/2 of every fare. Then you expect a tip on top of it? Even when I had my haircut at a place where the stylist pays for the chair, she told me not to tip her since she gets the money and it was only $9. I stil

Beware Of Fraudulent Prize Letters
From The Tn Lottery website.......Can you believe some people would think they have to PAY FEES for something they won!!!!! Sad Sad World NASHVILLE Tennesseans are asked to beware of letters suggesting they have won a prize in the popular lottery game Powerball. Several Tennessee residents have reported receiving such letters, which also include a request for the recipient to use an enclosed check to pay fees to claim their winnings. The Tennessee Lottery never requires fees to claim a pr

Three men charged with stealing $1M from lottery winnerReply
You are partly correct. However, you can't just deposit $250,000 into an IRA at one time, that is, unless you roll it over from another investment. There are annual limits for qualified money. Also, I am very sure you are wrong about the wife and husband having both $100,000 in individual accounts and joint accounts insured. Each can name the other ITF (in trust for) and any qualified beneficiaries (children, siblings) but not have separate savings/checking and ALSO joint accounts. Still, sin

Not all Retailers Pay Out to $599Reply
Benmas is correct. In fact there is always a disclaimer (I'm trying to find it) that says funds might not be available in order to conduct business during the day. At least there is one in Florida. That's why I don't understand all of the posts that say the retailers should have the cash available. Sure, they should offer some form of payment. That's all. A money order is the same as cash. Nobody should expect a store to keep a lot of extra cash around just in case someone wins. Then there wo

Is it true that you can claim your loosing lottrey tickets on your taxReply
I understand about only being able to file deductions equal to or less than your winnings. also keeping logs, records, and reciepts on all transactions is always a neccesity. I at one time was self employed. so my question. are lottery winnings subject to self employment tax?. (this would mean that you pay your half of your social security taxes, (just like you do on the job now) plus the employers half? (which is now paid for you, by the company you work for) or is it just like reci
