What would the experts do with a lottery jackpot?Reply
We may be the same age, Chewie, but brother, are we different! I'd give most of it away! Not all at once, of course. Maybe 10% of the total the first year to charities and $12,000 per person per year to about 20 of my relatives if the jackpot were great enough. After that, gifts and charity donations would come mostly out of annual income with only occasional dips into principal. Reducing principal wouldn't be a problem, as I don't need all that. And I'd leave almost my whole estate to cha

what would worry you the most??Reply
Money attracts money, not poverty. People always make the claim that they will never change, and they always change. They have better cars then their neighbors. They take better vacations. They make sure their children go to a better school. They attend higher priced social functions. They have more time to enjoy life. Pretty soon, they have less and less in common with the guy down the street. Add on, the fact, that the less fortunate guy down the street will always want financial suppo

vtracs....useless or not??Reply
Well, starting some time soon, maybe on Monday or Tuesday, I will start to post some predictions on the pick 3 forum, this will be done On the fly that is without any prior testing on paper and or on past draws. Let us see how we can do against the state lotteries, I will try to keep it up for at least 1 to 2 weeks, I am not sure, maybe longer. I have no idea of course of how those predictions will turn out, but since they will be Cloaked and as close to the cut off time as possible, b

just won 2,250 on betslipsReply
LottoMike I have four separate bank accounts at four separate banks; none of them lotto related at this time. The number of banks and/or accounts you employ has no bearing on anything else you might do. Keep people like me informed about betslip.com. I have serious reservations about off-shore companies and I NEVER send personal infomation over the internet. I know sites promise all kinds of security but there are people out there working as diligently to rip you off via the web as

any success with the new lucky for life?Reply
I assume you mean the Win for Life game??? If so, I had ok luck. Spent $4 on 4 numbers (2 of mine and 2 quickpick, won on my 2) and won $4 from it. The free ticket didn't give me anything. As for the annuity opiion, I personally think I am going to get kinda old (hell doesn't want me and heaven can't take me). In believing in such, having a weekly (quarterly actually) check coming in and knowing that there is no more Social Security when I retire looks ruther attractive to me. Sorry, but

Once again, U.S. tries to shut down Internet gamblingReply
The only reason that works...is because the kids didn't call the cops. The net is full of examples. Me? Call the cops on my parents? Better I should chop off my toes with a dull knife. My earliest memory was my parents proving that the family was all that mattered. Support the family, and it will support you. Neighbors, they move away, the family doesn't. Churches will close down and move to where the money is better. The family will feed you when you are hungry. Without the famil

My support for MUSL Hot Lotto has fadedReply
You're absolute right, JS9. Of course, the big proponents of computerized drawings would say how they have all these checksum algorithms and security protocols, etc., and nothing of the sort could ever slip by them. Yeah, right! These companies are modest-sized firms, with nowhere near the resources as a big company like Microsoft, Apple, Oracle, etc., and yet those big companies are thwarted by hackers every day. And you're telling me that some sub-$100 million company can have a better

What size yachtReply
All this talk about big jackpots, yachts and hired security guards has got me thinking. I wonder how much it would cost to buy an old mothballed battleship from the U.S. Navy? I think the U.S.S Iowa is available. Man! I can almost see myself now: Anchors aweigh! Stand by to cast off! Heave too on the port side! Full speed ahead and damn the torpedoes! I'll never give up the ship! Arrrrrgggghhh Jim lad...arrrrrgggghhh! Jim

Is the Lottery (PB/MM) corrupt?Reply
WW777: I can't recall any thread where the PowerBall or MegaMillions games have been called into question. Both games have substantial security measures in place, and both are drawn mechanically on live television. If you're referring to the many posts on the hopelessly corrupt Hoosier Lottery, you'll find adequate fodder for your query by utilizing LP's search engine. For the record, I no longer play any Hoosier Lottery games, and haven't since I discovered the extent of their frauds

Ex-lottery employee claims bias complaint led to firingReply
oh yeah - poor Mr. Litwin was a real altruist who got in the way of all that corruption... Litwin was a long time employee of GTECH's then competitor who had the (at the very least) incredibly poor judgement to direct his security people to start investigating members of the Legislature. He had absolutely no authority to do that. If he had real reason to believe there was funny business going on, he should have shared that info with the local District Attorney, the TX AG or even the FBI.
