Lottery scams hard to resist for someReply
I don't see much difference between these scam artist and the people representing your credit card that call and say they have a free gift for you. I agree (a little) but I still think you are comparing apples and oranges. I think getting a letter stating you've won a lottery in Canada or Jamaica when you've never been to either country should be a clue. The credit card offers I've gotten are real. You just need to always do your due diligence and make sure something is legitimate before g

winTrack.comReply
Just a a quick FYI... His system sells for $69.95 on his webpage if you are so inclined to purchase it. His website is also built a lot better than win-track has better security features embedded. Hope this helps, -POGO-

Why you Will Never win Mega or PowerballReply
I agree with you and I've discussed this on LP before. I realize that the Lottery states that the pre-tests are strictly for security purposes, but I don't approve of them. If they keep changing ballsets and weighing/measuring the balls, then pre-tests should not be necessary to keep the game fair and random. I mean, even if a ball pops up 3 draws in a row, it doesn't mean the results should be discarded. I don't think they are tampering with the balls, but I don't like the idea that someo

if you found a winning ticket that wasn't yoursReply
From what I understand, justxploring is correct. Just because they're not required to report smaller wins to the IRS doesn't mean you don't owe taxes on them. Now, proving you received the money is another matter altogether, but if the IRS can prove it, you're in deep doodoo. The reason they don't require reporting on smaller amounts than $600 is because the paperwork burden is too much for, say, a radio station who gives away 25 cd's a day or a sweepstakes that gives away 1,000 t-shirts,

What would you do if you had the winning lottery ticket BUT.Reply
Regardless of how you choose to do it, it's always possible to have somebody else's name released to the public if you win a lottery jackpot. The earliest example I'm aware of was the group of machinists who won nearly 300 million (annuity) in '98 who had a lawyer represent them. I've always been curious how much he charged for his services. How much would you want to have your name released for all the crackpots you're worried about to call up with their requests and sob stories? Then there'

Mega Millions lottery winner won't change lifestyleReply
But that still leaves her with $923,950 I agree that a drastic lifestyle isn't possible, but if someone gave me $923,950 (after taxes) it would be a major lifestyle change for me. I guess people on this board have a different attitude about the meaning of lifestyle, which I'm not knocking, but disagree with to a certain extent. Of course one can't go out and purchase a large home and fancy cars, go on lots of cruises, and still have money left over, but just putting it in CDs would yield

N.C. Woman Still Waiting For Lottery PayoutReply
Some valid points raise din this thread. In the old days, there was no way to track scratch tickets (and retailers were on consignment so they had to pay all the low-tier prizes in each pack) so many states only allowed retailers to cash tickers they sold. You then run into the security issue over having enough cash on hand to pay winners, retailers hanging signs saying they charge for cashing tickets or for checking non-winners . Good business people and good retailers will be

Setting a trust for anonymity: how does it work?Reply
Here is what I know for Michigan residents regarding this subject. This is a response to my email questions on blind trusts for Mi residents. This information was emailed to me from the Michigan Lottery. The rules of Mega Millions state that any jackpot winner must release - their name and city of orgin . I don't know anything about a blind trust, that would be a question for an attorney. But a check can only be made out to either a winner or a Lottery Club . If you chose to claim your ticket

fortune cookie numbersReply
all i have to do is bet 1K box bet on the number i know is going to play once a week Most Pick-4 24-way boxes pay $200 and a 12-way box pays $400 so you might have problem cashing more than one ticket at each location. And even if you could cash 3 tickets at each, that would still require 333 stops. (but you will have to play in as many gas stations as possible or get yourself a team)..... Depending on how big your team is and assuming they would figure out you knew the winning n
