Georgia Lottery approves online ticket salesReply
But Gov. Nathan Deal whose opposition has so far doomed a bigger expansion of gambling in Georgia said Thursday that he was fine with online lottery ticket sales. I think that is a useful area to explore, Deal told The Atlanta Journal-Constitution. It does open the participation up to a generation of younger citizens of our state who might not take the time to go to a store to physically purchase a ticket. ........ This is not a silver bullet, but the long-term potential to this is

Do some number combinations have better odds?Reply
For all those losers that sent me emails about the winning numbers that were not winners. Even if you knew the winning numbers for that day they will switch it to different number. If it should be live broadcast they will use different magnetic balls machines to switch the numbers. The winners will be anonymous and when is time to reveal winners they will make a great publicity so that people can fall for that. Another method to confuse people is in the scratch-offs games which will usu

A trick to remain anonymous?Reply
Another trick might be to give your dog a full human name and SS#. With a little practice, you should be able to train him (or her ), to sign the annuity or one time checks with the paw. This should be a preferably younger dog or pup, to guarantee the continued acceptance of the annuity checks. (20-25 years). The public appearance should be a snap, just throw on a little makeup, shave the face, and tell the officials he came down with laryngitis. Why pay the banks some exorbitan

What does it say on the back of your state's tickets?Reply
I don't have a Missouri ticket at the moment but this is from the Missouri Lottery website. Interesting as I don't think Missouri is listed as one of the anonymous states for PB and MM. $5 Million Instant Lottery Prize Claimed A $5 million top prize from the Missouri Lottery $5,000,000 Cash Extravaganza has been claimed. A lawyer representing Wisepenny Enterprises, LLC, claimed the prize on April 20. The winning ticket was purchased at Discount Smoke Shop, 340 S. Sprigg St., in Cape

Claiming Anonymously and keeping your winnings! (a paranoid approach)Reply
PeteLawson, Not too long ago Illinois added monitors near the scanners where you check your tickets. At first people who won over a certain amount (not sure what it is) had their names (first and last), game won on, amount and hometown put on the monitors. There must have been a lot of complaints and people contacting the lottery (Northstar now runs it for the state) because now it only shoes first name, game and amount. The femalde pharmacist who won the MM told the lottery that being a p

Few major lottery jackpot winners get chance to be anonymousReply
The MUSL Association publishes at the powerball website, the following FAQ and Answer: CAN I REMAIN ANONYMOUS WHEN I HIT THE JACKPOT? All but five states (DE, KS, MD, ND, OH) have laws that require the lottery to release the name and city of residence to anyone who asks To the best of my knowledge, Michigan's anonymity laws are waived for the multi-state games of Mega Millions and Power Ball, for Jackpots and 2nd tier prize winners. Hence, the article maybe flawed on it's representat

Maryland Mega Millions winners claim prize anonymouslyReply
Well I think they had to disclose some general information about them or their money would have been tied up in a lawsuit with the McDonald workers. This was an unusual situation due to our friend with the pink swine hat so some creative modifications had to be made. If they were 100% anonymous, people would think the McDonalds woman won it and too many problems would have continued. And it is not the same thing as having your name visible to every stranger. While people in house may have a gues

Kansas Mega Millions winner claims jackpot anonymouslyReply
For a winner that invests the bulk of his money and continues on with normal day to day activities and does not go too far beyond his old means, I almost fell out of my chair laughing at that remark. What is the point of buying a lottery ticket with a $656 million prize if you're satisfied with your normal life? For all we know the winner could be a chicken plucker and you're suggesting they keep on plucking chickens, live in the same old house and drive the same old car while they have

Kansas Mega Millions winner claims jackpot anonymouslyReply
i would scream it from the rooftops if someone from a silent state won and i knew. - and this is yet another reason to NOT announce any win on LP what if every winner could remain anonymous. people would stop playing if no winners were ever revealed. - I would, respectfully, have to disagree. There are many who wish to remain anon, many who havent ever given it a thought, and many who just dont care. you would have to spend every waking moment trying to protect yourself from being found

Kansas Mega Millions winner claims jackpot anonymouslyReply
HiFi, Minnesnowta, I can think of plenty of reasons to stay anonymous and not one reason not to. I think despite the reasons each of you gave for wanting to know who the winner was, you're don't have any valid reason to. A while back someone around here made a score on a Pick 5 and people just could not stand knowing who it was. The convenience store where the ticket was bought posted having sold a winner but wouldn't tell anyone who it was, so people hubng around for over a week trying to
