Connecticut man sues friend for share of lottery prizeReply
I saved a copy of an article I had read a few years ago on what to do should you win a large amount of money playing the lottery. I think it sounds like pretty good advice, here's what it says..... Lottery Winners Strangely enough, winning millions in the lottery can be the worst thing that ever happened to you. The money can strain relationships with your spouse and relatives. It can turn your friends and neighbors into leeches. It can ruin your privacy. It can cause security problems, th

Secrets of a lottery lawyer-Kurt Panouses interviewReply
Watch the video. Pretty simple to understand. Reading is fundamental. 1. A state only allowed anonymous claiming for $10 million plus wins and the jp was under that amount. 2. A young guy in his 20s decided to take the yearly annuity of 350k. 3. The attorney argued that based on the expected lifespan of this young person, the total annuities would easily exceed $10 million over his expected lifespan. THUS HE WAS ALLOWED TO CLAIM ANONYMOUSLY. A very creative legal argument that worke

Secrets of a lottery lawyer-Kurt Panouses interview
There is a fascinating interview on YouTube with a lottery attorney. He discusses how Michigan had tried to delay allowing his client to claim and the Michigan lottery claimed they were not ready . After 3 weeks he told the lottery he was showing up the next day at 10 AM and if the lottery office was not ready, he was calling a press conference. The state lottery backed down. For another client in another state, the lottery officials claimed the client did not win $10 million to qualify for

Good omen? Bird collision preceded NJ lottery winner's $90 million Mega Millions jackpotReply
They handed the clerk their ticket to check it, and the cashier waited for the crowd inside the store to disperse before showing the lucky customer the prize notice. People rant and rave about wanting to be anonymous. Then someone walks into a crowded store, hands over their ticket to the cashier to check their numbers - the same numbers that are all over the news, online, basically everywhere. Oh well, oh well, nothing left to say. Congratulations

Florida and Claiming a Jackpot AnonymouslyReply
Right. They shouldn't have a problem putting a winners face and name on their website. To my mind the real question is do they require it? Theoretically they could put any given winners picture that had claimed anonymously on their website after six months had elapsed, but that's IF The Florida Lottery requires winners pictures to appear on their website like New York does. It's possible they dont. And they might not even have taken the winners picture at the time the ticket was claimed beca
