£5M U.K. National Lottery winner claims jackpotReply
I think Todd is correct, his reminder to search for the ticket article must have been just what the winner needed to search their pockets, or push to finalize things with their financial advisor. Woo Hoo! Now that's a life changing, quickly quit-your-job, retirement-plus type of lottery ticket win, congratulations!!! This is the scenareo I want my winning lottery ticket to provide for me this month

Bronx mystery winner claimed half of $333M lottery jackpotReply
What pisses me off after reading this article, is that Jimmy felt the need to tell everyone, and I mean everyone that he won the lottery? Why if you have not received even the first check and you and your family still live in the ghetto? Then he has the nerve to complain about the 40 calls he received after morning begging for money. Dumb dumb (The Flinstones) , you brought that headache and aggravation on yourself. IMO, he should have told his job that he injured himself while at home (beli

Arkansas Republicans upset about makeup of lottery officialsReply
As usual, you have amnesia or maybe you lived out of the country in 2002. Anyway, the Democrats have been way more than bipartisan. They're letting the Republicans whine, stamp their feet until they get their way. In fact, I'm disappointed that our leaders in Washington have felt the need to bend over backwards, since we all know what happens when we do that. This is a very silly complaint. Now they'll be protesting against televised drawings because the lottery officials might try to indoctr

Top Ten Lottery TragediesReply
There was an article posted once where a guy won something like $58,000 on a lottery 2nd chance TV show. He left and crossed the street and got hit by a truck and killed... MarkP

Top Ten Lottery TragediesReply
Yeah I'm sure people will want to drive potential long distance to buy a one dollar piece of paper that most likely will be worthless. If you're in the state for other reasons or live really close to it, fine but to drive potentially several hundred (especially now with gas prices where they are) miles just to buy some lottery tickets then perhaps the lottery is not for you because IMO that would be a sign of reckless spending as it is. Anyway I don't believe I read this article yet but I'm sure

Live drawing fluke puts Maryland lottery machine maker in spotlightReply
The article states: An inspection of the Lotto machine used in last week's drawing discovered an issue with the third feeder tube. It was corrected, and the machine was put back in service, she said. If some worker failed to replace the tube properly then it isn't Garron's fault as some members here have stated lottery operators change tubes or fool around with the equipment then blame can't go to Garron. I know people who work or worked for Garron and all these guys do a great job with th

Scientific Games sued a second time by GameologistReply
If you think it was clearly a theft of intellectual property you clearly didn't understand what you read. This isn't a news article, it's a one-sided press release from a law firm that's attempting to publicize their client's allegations. As near as I can tell from this and their previous press release, their claim is strictly related to trademark infringement for uses of the word bling . Unfortunately for them, bling and bling bling were in popular usage well before they decided to get their tr

Lottery heartbreak: Florida man says he lost $500,000 ticketReply
That's true that the UKcourts ruled that finders/keepers didn't apply in that case. Although I don't know the specifics of the law in the UK. Also wedon't know how the lottery is run there. Also the specifics from the article from the UK case is kinda vague. Do they have all of thelegal fine print on the back of the ticket there like we do here in theUS? Is the claim process in the UK different the the claim processhere in the states? It also doesn't explain why the lottery continues to prin
