£27 million EuroMillions lottery winner found dead at homeReply
Here's the key sentence of the article; pressures of suddenly managing such a substantial amount of wealth. It's not easy to manage substantial amounts of wealth. Everybody thinks it is, and everybody (including me) would love a shot at trying to do it. But if you've never managed millions, I can pretty much guarantee you that you cant do it well. People need to hire someone that has experience with handling very large sums of money. God bless ya if you win big and attempt going it alone, bu

Massachusetts father and sons accused of defrauding Lottery of $21 millionReply
I wouldn't call it an assumption . It's an allegation The allegation is arguably based on an assumption, but the assumption is similar to the assumption that the sun will rise tomorrow morning. If he had won that many times by buying tickets his results would be really close to statistically normal. There's no getting around that, and it means that (as the article says) he'd have had to be buying an average of over 500 tickets per hour. While that's theoretically possible you can be sure th

Massachusetts father and sons accused of defrauding Lottery of $21 millionReply
It's incredibly confusing is correct. What the article does not specify is exactly who the plaintiff's are. The charges are federal charges brought by a federal prosecutor - a US Attorney. The charges are over a dozen counts of fraud, money laundering, and tax evasion. According to the United States Department of Justice, one count of conspiracy to defraud the IRS comes with a maximum sentence of five years in prison, one count of money laundering has a 20-year maximum sentence, and one co

NC woman wins $2 million from lottery ticket gifted by friendReply
Actually NG, I do not do it all the time...I buy a scratcher for my enjoyment on occasion. Just as some buy cigarettes or alcohol. I like to rent a movie on my television or I take out the family or a friend and buy a meal at a restaurant. So, I should pay for someone's meal/movie rental before I am allowed to purchase mine ? I need to give clothes to someone else before I am allowed to buy my own ?? As the current man in the White House says, Come awwwn, man . This positive article is about a g

Princeton Alumni wins Lottery by acquiring more than 66 ticketsReply
They will ended fading away like Joan Ginther Her story lives on, and it looks like they may have taken a page from her playbook. From the article: In Indiana, the group appears to have gone on a frenzied buying spree in the final months of the MEGA CA$H game. Ginther's strategy was to buy as many tickets as possible in hopes of finding one of the remaining large prizes when enough tickets had been sold to give her odds that were better than the overall game odds. The published odds are bas

Iowa man accused of lottery fraud for cashing ticket on friend's behalfReply
The article doesn't say if Hanson was charged with anything and the allegations against Hays are he cashed the ticket so Hanson could avoid paying back taxes and child support. Hays will probably say he cashed the ticket because Hanson offered him a few thousand to do it. Most state lotteries suggest and promote buying scratch-offs as stocking stuffers at Christmas time and people give money as presents too. Couldn't find any Iowa law making it illegal to resell or gift lottery tickets. Becau

Iowa man accused of lottery fraud for cashing ticket on friend's behalfReply
Hays successfully claimed Hanson's winnings. If the winnings belonged to Hanson, why was Hays' name on the check and why didn't Hanson say his ticket was stolen or lost? It's probably obvious to anyone reading this article Hanson was looking for someone to cash the ticket to avoid paying back taxes and child support. So let's call that a given if it can be proved in a court of law. But it's Hays not Hanson that is accused of falsely cashing in a $50,000 winning scratch-off ticket. Witho

Delaware man "Spare Change" wins $1 million in Maryland LotteryReply
Just below the headline and above the article it says: Vending machine attendant gets more than a little spare change By Kate Northrop He has a full time job so he's not a homeless panhandler. If you get it right, we won't have to tell you when you are wrong. Sometimes you need to read more than just the headline. Don't take it personally. Have a nice day!

Is this flu scam stopping you from running your lottery tickets?Reply
It's that second shot (The BOOSTER shot) that is given two weeks after the first shot that really counts. BTW - I've read that second shot aint no walk in the park either. Was reading today's Wall Street Journal. There's an informative article about how the elderly (especially those living in long term care facilities like nursing homes) are the hardest hit (meaning most fatalities) by Covid. That's why they are very high on the priority list for vaccination. If it was younger people that wer
