Longtime Kentucky Lottery director dies following fallNews Story
Arthur L. Arch Gleason, the longtime head of the Kentucky Lottery Corp. died on Friday following a fall in Cincinnati. Gleason, who was 69, had just announced his retirement three weeks ago after nearly 23 years as president of the Kentucky Lottery. He was the longest-serving lottery head in the nation. I think that's what bothers us most, said Chip Polston, the lottery spokesman. He was finally at the point to enjoy the later years of his life and then this happens. Former Gov. Brere

Do You Trust Gtech? If you do, I think you should take a look at how they treated Texans in years past... George Wins the Lottery by Greg Palast The Bush family daisy chain of favors, friendship and finance goes way back to Dubya's War Years. Junior Bush was a fighter pilot during the war in Vietnam; not in the United States Air Force, where one could get seriously hurt, mind you, but in the Texas air force, known as the Texas Air National Guard.

Texas Lottery audits find more problemsNews Story
Prize estimates were inflated at least 3 times after scandal Months after Texas Lottery officials were chastised for inflating Texas Lotto jackpot estimates in a scandal that cost the executive director his job, the agency did it again at least three more times, according to one of two highly critical state auditor reports on the lottery released Tuesday. Auditors found a significant number of instances in which agency management did not comply with policies and procedures to review or ap

Every Lottery Player Think About This For A Second...Reply
I'm gonna explain this to you in nitwit . I guess that's your native language? All this time I thought you didn't know the correct words and had a 4th grade mastery of spelling and grammar. The state legislative audit of Maryland's Lottery Agency revealed that, in a one-year period, eight players had won top lottery prizes 200 or more times. I know you're fairly new here, but that's the same story that's been told at least a dozen times. Most people read it the first time, and even

New Mexico lawmakers introduce bill to end lotteryReply
You can see the annual sales and expenses for the last 10 years on page 23 of the current NM Lottery financial report https://www.nmlottery.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/New-Mexico-Lottery-Authority-FY-2021-Financial-Audit-Report-Final.pdf Sales were 154.9 million in 2021 and the adult population was about 1.6 million. So an average adult spent about $97 on the lottery over the course of a year. $46.5 million went to the tuition fund that year. The $46.5 million question is where d

Audit of frequent Pennsylvania Lottery winners draws concernReply
Keep in mind the PA lottery wouldn't want to scrutinize itself. Thus why we have a division to audit it's procedures and funds. Lucky numbers (movie), triple six fix , come to mind on how the lottery deserves being monitored and fine tuned. I detest the new CASH5 change. From payout tier change to the increase in play . A person would have to have very rose colored glasses to think certain players are above board. Have yet to see any player play one number for 68 ti

The world may never know who won a $202 million lottery jackpotReply
As far as the winner from SC showing up within the last few weeks. Wouldn't you attribute it to being smart by meetings with multiple professionals (lawyers,accountants,investment teams) on different dates ? I absolutely have zero questions due to SC rules on lottery claims. An independent audit(by Ernst Young or another of the big 3) would 100% verify that the policies, finances and procedures are followed. Government audits are done every year. I truly hope that you aren't the type of perso

North Carolina: 4/1 - 4/30/2019Reply
Jamora is correct and just to clarify this a bit further as I deal with this every year..... They changed the NC law a couple of years back and that is why we are not known as a gambling friendly state . I found out the hard way when my CPA called and said you owe state because they no longer allow the offset . You WILL still owe NC tax on your winnings no matter what the amount of losses you have (crooks), keep this in mind if you frequent a casino. Better off now days to have them

CA Lottery: Do I have to put SS# for prize claim form.Reply
Your SS# on the form is for tax purposes. Doctors use it for patient identification. If you turn it in without it, eventually they will find you as you put it, when you file your taxes next year. But why do you want to risk having your winnings held up, an IRS audit, or them questioning why you left it off? In other words, why open up a can of worms if you don't have to. But if you should be lucky enough to win the jackpot, then you can ask your tax accountant and get professional advice about t
