$333 MILLION: Powerball offers up summertime richesReply
summer slow down.... Interest seems to pick up again around the holidays when the powers that be have us all day dreaming about a bountiful thanksgiving, Christmas or new years For now, I am fatigued by all these jackpots and their slow rise....and that is saying something. I am a die hard-committed player. I am sticking to my advance play tickets for now. If it gets to my new threshold of $650 million.....I will then start adding a line or two. Until then, all I have to really pay atte

Georgia Lottery Scratch OffsReply
Sorry to hear Goherd. I've had similar splurges before, but it isn't sustainable. It leads to a vicious cycle of chasing. If someone is buying through that many duds on a $25 ticket, chances are it is mostly likely a revenue generating roll with a poor return of probably $300/$1000. We have many rolls like that in FL. Buying one or two from a roll and being done is the way to go. What works for me is: Paying all bills in advance (and leaving only what is necessary for gas/food in my

How would you react?Reply
Purchase the tickets yourself, up to twenty pre-draws for most online games. In some states you can actually purchase in advance from the State Lottery Commission. In the digital age, nobody can remain anonymous. Consider the service a professional make-up artist for your jackpot interview. Good Luck.

Would you quit your job if you won the lottery? Many say noReply
Anywhere from half to 80% of workers in America say that they'd keep working even if they won the lottery, according to a survey of 1,000 adults released Tuesday by cloud computing company Adobe Systems Inc., as well as surveys from both Gallup (2013) and CareerBuilder (2014). It doesn't say if they were asked would you quit your job after winning a major jackpot and it doesn't say if average lottery players were polled. From what I've read, LP members would vote 50 to 80% to remain anonymous

Michigan Lottery teams with PayPal for online paymentsReply
I still play KY Cashball, MM, and Powerball and play MM and PB when I cross the Ohio River to nearby IN, or if traveling to OH, get tickets in that ANONYMOUS winner state. I've crossed state lines to play games not available in my state. When I lived in Ohio I played Quinto in PA before the Ohio Lottery got a Pick-5. Even though MM and PB are the same game, tickets can be only cashed in the state they were purchased in so unless I purchase out of state tickets on a whim, I buy MM and PB tic

Because though I live in KY, MA will always be my home state. Megabucks Doubler is strictly a Massachusetts lottery hence that is why you can buy those subscriptions over the phone. I still play KY Cashball, MM, and Powerball and play MM and PB when I cross the Ohio River to nearby IN, or if traveling to OH, get tickets in that ANONYMOUS winner state. As for lotteries I have no loyalties to any state, play every state I may travel to. Too bad Nevada wouldn't get in on the bandwag

Lottery Jackpots And Tax Havens
You may have read about the Panama Papers: It would appear that Leona Helmsley was right, when she said, We don't pay taxes. Only the little people pay taxes. What are the Panama Papers? The Panama Papers are an unprecedented leak of 11.5m files from the database of the world s fourth biggest offshore law firm, Mossack Fonseca. The records were obtained from an anonymous source by the German newspaper S ddeutsche Zeitung, which shared them with the International Consortium of Investiga

Mississippi lawmakers take first steps to create state lotteryReply
He said he sees Mississippians going across the state line to purchase lottery tickets. The people are voting with their dollars and with their feet. Mississippi could be a leader by passing legislation to have a ninety day period of anonymity for winners. A MM and PB winner would be anonymous for ninety days after cashing in their ticket. Have a year to cash in like California has. Listen to the voters.

Jury: Lottery winner must pay ex-boyfriend part of winningsReply
This isn't good. People will show up out of no where and say hey 15 years ago we had an agreement to split the winnings! If it's not in writing, it's not valid. Anyone can claim they made an agreement. I also used to get comments like that too. People would see or hear I play and say omg you'll remember your best friend right! They get disappointed when I explain that no I won't be sharing it. I've had clerks make comments hey you gonna share that? To which I say no. People are always tak

The ugly side of the win. How would you deal with close family and friends who...?Reply
I've already figured it out. My siblings will get a set amount and that's all. If they turn their nose up at the amount then it will be put in trust for them for a year and if they still are having a fit then it will go to someone else. Trust me that will end that. To be honest I know they'd be happy with whatever I set up for them and depending on how much I win they'd never have to work again. i know of one person in my family that will want it divided evenly among everyone even though they
