Calif. man knew he won $1M but lost the lottery ticketReply
This is BS, if you are clearly identifiable as the person that bought the ticket and the winner, you should get the money. This should be a good test case for a lawsuit against the lotteries. There are many scenarios where you could lose the ticket through no fault of your own, theft of your wallet, house fire, theft of your car etc. I believe that guy that won in Canada and did not know was notified by the lottery that he won because they had some sort of registration system which is good.

Store clerk gets prison term for Ohio lottery ticket theftReply
The article indicated: The Kroger theft was far more costly to her employer. While she pleaded guilty to stealing $189,000 in scratch-off lottery tickets, Kroger said last month when she was convicted that the actual amount was $530,000. In court Tuesday, the judge noted Kroger now believes her theft totals $550,000 in scratch-offs. Strong reported on her 2009 taxes that she had $43,000 in gambling winnings. WOW, out of apx. $550,000 worth of scratch-off lottery tickets, only apx. $43,000

Setting a trust for anonymity: how does it work?Reply
this is a good topic because i was curious about if trusts are insured like bank accounts and if you can set one up online without having to hire a lawyer so todds link answered most of my questions because i know most bank accounts only are insured by FDIC for up to 100K so i know alot of people have to have other places to put large amounts of money like lottery jackpots and make sure they are insured for most of the value just in case there is id theft or some other theft of some of the money

Clerk admits stealing winning lottery ticket from studentReply
The prosecutor must be out of his mind -- Recommending only one year of probation for a theft of $20,000? How unjust (all the criminals in MA will hope to get that prosecutor)! A theft of $20,000 (no matter how it occured whether bank robbery, stolen cash or lottery ticket) deserves years in prison.I bet the young girl is afraid of him (hence the restraining order) and told the prosecutor to go easy. Very stupid decision.

Store Clerk Pleads 'Not Guilty' In Lottery Ticket Theft CaseReply
They should show him the rest of their bag of tricks..the lotteries have so many ways of checking up on that ticket..I wonder if he will try to pay someone to cash the ticket for him and they split the proceeds..the lottery commission already knows the serial number of the ticket and what lot it was in..I hope his butt fries...but good..I wonder if he is being arraigned for petty theft or major theft..I thought anything over $1,000 was grand larceny which is a felony.

Nebraska man who cashed $300,000 lottery prize arrested for fraudulent claimReply
That is a different fact situation. There was no video that she was doing that routine and she must have been paying for the scratchers since you said the lottery viewed it simply as someone playing on the job. The news article here pertained to theft. Paying after checking a scratcher is theft. I would love to see the link to this story and court case you mentioned. I am doubtful that any lottery would fail to get involved in theft if she was cashing stolen tickets and also blame a sto
