Lotto-winning coworkers' advice for $400M Mega Millions jackpotReply
Why the heck is someone who made only $60k after all that effort, immediately going to 'help others' or whatever? YOU JUST HELPED YOURSELF. That's fine. Help yourself. Look, if I win the $400 million (I won't) I'm not gonna be incredibly stingy with it, but at the same time, why must someone who is a lottery winner become a one-person charity? Notice how celebrities do it. They put in a few thousand of their own money, then challenge their fans to match the donation cumulatively or something. Be

Pa. lawmaker wants to give lottery winners right to remain anonymousReply
Jon D, Thanks for the reply and you adjusred your statement to legal gambling. Don't know if he's still active but there was a bookie in NY, dealth with a lot of Wall Street types. His policy was $50,000 minimum bet per game, two game minimum to bet with him. Not exactly an office pool on the Super Bowl here. Oh yeah, both he and his clients preferred remaining anonymous! Here's a little known fact, bookies are required to get a Federal Tax Stamp (used to cost about $50, not sure no

How BIG can a lottery pool be?Reply
Consider this, in the age we live in where your tweets or youtube postings can go viral in days. Consider that crowd-sourcing is now a reality. Consider the millions who play the Lotteries and are sure never to win the BIG PRIZE in their life-time. Consider the need for anonymity that winners crave. Consider the disgust the winner feel when they realize how much TAXES they have to pay for their good fortune. ALL this will be solved by offering your Lottery Ticket to the millions of people who

NJ Powerball winner wants his old life backReply
There will always be a percentage---a very small percentage---of people where winning a major Lotto prize ruins their lives . 20 bucks says every one of these people had a significant amount of drama, conflict, and controversy going on in their lives before they won, and now it's magnified because of a big JP win. The vast majority of folks deal effectively with a big win, and, counter to what many people wrongly maintain, don't blow their windfall on foolishness and recklessness or wish t

Convicted murderer Dee Dee Moore denies killing lotto winnerReply
Still...I think the better compromise would be to claim in the name of a TRUST or a Corporate Entity, as some states allow. That way we wouldn't care whether or not the 30 to 60 days expire... Can anyone make up a list of states that... Have Anonymous Claiming.... States that allow winners to claim through a trust or corporate entity... and states that just throw you to the dogs, and tell you to deal with it!

How do you change your life style without arising suspicion?Reply
Even if you lived in a state where your identity could remain anonymous, so what? They still announce the city and location where the winning ticket was purchased from. Whatever story you come up with, once you start spending people will at least guess. So the NUMBER 1 way to avoid suspicion: MOVE! If you have a person (or family) you are very close with, it will probably be impossible not to tell them. But don't let just anyone in on your plans. I mean, just look at how Gloria's ex DIL

$350 MILLION: Powerball lottery jackpot soarsReply
I would claim it in a trust, and if they require me to do a press conference then I'm showing up with a disguise on. You can also change your name before you claim the ticket. I believe name changes are public record but who in the hell is going to go through that much trouble to expose your true name in the press? Well I guess I shouldn't ask that considering I remember reading an article on here from a writer that stalked a lotto winner to a dating website. But those are the things

if you had the power to change certain things to the MM/ PB jackpots- what would they be?Reply
Every jackpot winner in the entire country has the option to remain anonymous Make the tally more transparent. Make it very clear how many tickets sold for every drawing at every state. Currently they only show how many winning tickets per draw, not the whole tickets. Make the jackpot prize more transparent. Jackpot prize should be equal to the lump sum prize, not the annuity. Lower the wager of PB back to $1. I am perfectly happy with the old PB prize structure. Make the

I agree with you sully16 I was born in raised in Detroit myself and my last address before I moved up here to the Waterford area was on 7 mile and evergreen. my family still stays down in the hood. and most of the other post, I only hope the best for him and his family but it doesn't look good this guy is to quick to speak and slow to think first, he should have waited and got a good financial advisor first and went somewhere where he could think in private for a few days or more then mayb

Liquor store in Passaic, NJ, sold winning Powerball ticketReply
I propose states should have a four part press conference after a win. (On seperate days of course) 1. Declare that your state sold the winning ticket 2. Declare what retailer sold the ticket 3. Whether it was a quick pick or self pick 4. Who the winner is, unless they can claim anonymous
