Lottery retailers busted in raidReply
it is not entrapment, entrapment would be if the police gives you drugs and then another police arrests you. It's very definitely not entrapment. Entrapment is when law enforcement personnel or their agents persuade you to commit a crime when you had no intent to do so. Simply giving you enough rope to hang yourself isn't entrapment. That's why cops can do a buy and bust or set up a bait car to catch car thieves. According to the information presented in the article the cops in this

Texas woman says friend stole winning lottery ticketReply
SmoothJuice: After thinking about it this situation I disagree with you stating that this is stupid. If you read the article it said that she was behind in her bills and that she purchased 3 tickets at $2 a piece. She only spent $6 while looking at my bills I don't have a bill that is $6.00. If you are struggling and you spend $6 and play the 4-digit lottery that will get you $30,000 or $3,000 in the 3 digit lottery is straight. She was just trying to find away to capitalize quickly on a smal

Sex offender wins Alaska lottery that aids sex abuse victimsReply
I guess he'll need to either leave Alaska or move to a very remote area (which isn't too hard to find there) since his face has been all over the news. He should have answered No when approached. Apparently a man, who had no intention of robbing him, recognized him on the street and asked if he was Ahsoak. Then he started to beat him with a pipe. I don't condone any type of violent vigilantism, but nobody wants a child molester living in his town. In Alaska, violent crimes against women children

Sex offender wins Alaska lottery that aids sex abuse victimsReply
I am assuming you are telling me that raped people are the winners of the jackpot...I didn't read the whole thing dont have time to read all that... _______________________________________________________________________________ The lottery benefited victims of rape, article did not say the winners are rape victims. the random drawing was won by a sex assault offender. Castration shouldl have been his fate after his first victim. I wish his victims could sue him for compensation th

Piqua lottery winners sued by co-workersReply
Let's consider that you were actually hit by a sober nun who honestly believes she wasn't on thee sidewalk, then. Plenty of lawsuits (and criminal cases) are essentially he said she said cases. In the Piqua case, the plaintiffs are claiming an agreement that all would share. Such an agreement strikes me as foolish if people chose whether or not to participate on a draw by draw basis, but we have no way of knowing what the agreements really were. Perhaps there was such an agreement, based on t

CEO: Bonuses in lottery business are necessaryReply
Plenty of people are out of work even in good times, but that has nothing to do with how much anyone else deserves to be paid (well, except perhaps for congress critters). I think the lottery is far more recession proof than many businesses, but this is exactly the time when some people deserve bonuses. If other people are losing business and you maintain, or even increase your business, you're probably doing an above average job. As the article says, the lottery is a sales and marketing busines

Piqua lottery winners sued by co-workersReply
I had a good working pool going at my last job. Now that I switched jobs I no longer do it, not because of sharing the prize but because of all the work involved. Before each drawing I would photo copy all the tickets bought by the group, there was twenty of us. I did narrow it down to just six sets of copies. One of the rules was that all small prizes get banked towards a large jackpot such as the one that just played (As it appears they did). Because of that rule there was always money in case

How online gamblers unmasked cheatersReply
I think you may be right, Captain. Politicians have been trying to figure out a way to make money off the Internet for a while. However, with the financial meltdown national security stuff going on, I think this would have to be part of a larger package to get any oxygen for the foreseeable future. There are a lot of people who will fight internet regulation (even though that leaves it open to the kind of stuff written about in the underlying article)

Do you think more people play the lotteryReply
If you read my statement again, I never said it was good or bad (from my own perspective, but not necessarily theirs). But like it or not, a bunch of people play the lottery because it gives them hope, especially those in low-income families. I just read an article by Warren Buffet. Basically, he said when people are afraid, you take risks (meaning when the economy is in shambles and nobody wants to invest, invest) and when people are taking risks, be afraid (meaning when times are great and
