Extradition trial begins this week in $16.5M Hot Lotto fraud caseReply
RJOh, I almost never see a live drawing Xcept PA has theirs on just before jeopardy, but I never have PA tix. Jersey's draw comes on a diff. channel @ 7:59 PM and I always forget, by the time they draw MM and PB I'm asleep. I was in Delaware to buy PB and MM cause they are anonymous, and bought a 10 draw advance on HOTLOTTO on a whim, then looked it up here on LP, that's when I realized my mistake. I suppose you're right about them dressing it up, sounds like that would

Lottery windfalls can buy anything except anonymityReply
Shakespeare wasn't allowed to remain anonymous under Florida law, and the resulting publicity allowed the murderer to know who he was and target him. Shakespeare lost any chance of anonymity when his former friend Michael Ford sued him claiming Shakespeare stole the winning ticket from him. It's a crying shame that people have to die and get robbed etcetera - just because lottery commissions want to rake in more money, and misguided paranoids squawking about transparency are afraid the

It's time the lottery needs to stop releasing a person name and picture when a big win is won!Reply
You can ask to remain anonymous for one year after that you can Consider forming a blind trust with your attorney. This will let you collect the money while maintaining your anonymity. You will be able to designate the power of attorney, and your attorney will help you iron out any other wrinkle you may encounter in the arrangement. This is what I've done! Take taxes into consideration. Two things are certain in life: Death and taxes. Well, you probably don't have to worry about death just qu

Bill would allow Texas Lottery winners to pay for anonymityReply
The bill is titled, Relating to a lottery prize winner's choice to remain anonymous on authorization to withhold five percent of winnings, and was introduced Tuesday by Rep. Terry Canales (D). Well there is the problem. Rep Terry Canales (D) --- the problem They got this one backwards. Because the state wants to remain transparent the state should have to assign a security team to big winners and at taxpayer expense. The team should have to stay on and protect the winner

Bill would allow Texas Lottery winners to pay for anonymityReply
No. This would NOT be the case. This is about Government making more money. This bill most certainly will include provisions to garnish any winnings based on things like child support , back taxes, public debts, etc... THIS WILL NOT BE AN OUT FOR THAT This bill will only allow the winner to remain anonymous to the General Public for purposes of reporting who wins. It's Just a bill to garner more revenue and nothing else. 5% is quite a bit to fork over to maintain your privacy. The l

It's time the lottery needs to stop releasing a person name and picture when a big win is won!Reply
If my name were Tom jones, I would be anonymous! But having a very unique name doesn't allow me that priviledge. My preference would be anonymity for the giving side. Let not the left hand know what the right us doing, etc. . But, living quietly or publicly (on the good side) is a small price to pay. Have no children to be kidnapped. Will would be set up to divide the money among so many charities, it would do no one any good to eliminate me to get their inheritance. No one person would

Although no tax is deducted from Australian lottery prizes,... _______________________________________________ A member here, savagegoose, has mentioned that their play slips also have a box you can check, NP, meaning No Publicity.

MUSL employee arrested in Hot Lotto jackpot mysteryReply
There was definitely speculation that it was a lottery employee who wasn't allowed to play. I don't specifically remember anyone thinking it was an inside job, but there are plenty of conspiracy theory types around here. I was in the stolen ticket camp, and figured the delay was based on fear and the hope that time would reduce the chance that the original owner would recognize it as their ticket. I discounted the idea of a lottery employee because I figured it would have been easy enough to

Cwasars to Close Showboat Casino in Atlantic CityReply
Atlantic city race course simulcast will close today, the final nail in the coffin. Although I did'nt use the simulcast, it's what kept the track alive since they were required to run a live 6 day meet in the springtime as a qualification for the simulcast licence. I will miss That springtime meet 8 miles from home as now the closest track to me is 70 some miles away. Take your pick, Monmouth park 70 miles north, Philly park 70 miles NW, Delaware park 70 miles West. If
