The Lottery Office is closed until Monday but speculation in Lapeer rages onNews Story
Michigan is suddenly a richer place this weekend, first with all that Olympic gold coming in from London, and now with the wining ticket to the Powerball Lottery purchased by someone at a Michigan gas station. Local residents may be hoping it wasn't someone passing through to Toledo or Indianpolis. In the meantime in the town of Lapeer in Michigan's thumb the wait continues for the ticket purchaser to surface. It just happens to be Lapeer Days their three day summer festival in the sleepy tow

Post Your IL Lucky Day Lotto EZmatch Results Here!Reply
I hadn't played an EZmatch in a while and should have known beter, but since the biggest lotto prize going in Illinois on a Thursday is Lucky Day Lotto I threw $1 at the EZmatch and it walkeed between the raindrops again. Two of my numbers are 12 and 14 and the EZmatch? 13, big surprise. I knew it was a loser when I saw the prizes: $500, $20, $500, $500, $500. Maybe someone in Illinois can start EZmatch Players Anonymous !

Can It Be Done??
The goal of most of us on this site is to predict a few numbers correctly. Occasionally we can predict a straight pick 3 or 4 which can make us start jumping for joy. There are a select few who have hit a 5+0 on the big games, a reason for celebration! Still others known or anonymous have struck the jackpot, and their lives have been changed forever. What about the possibility of accurately predicting ALL games for ALL states, including UK National, B.C., Atlantic Canada, and West

A trick to remain anonymous?Reply
I don't know for sure, but I'm almost positive that any bank would immediately turn you away for asking. I don't think there's anything illegal about it but the bank just really isn't for this type of thing. I'm sure they'll be happy to inform you that they'll waive the membership fee for their special checking/saving account if you put your money in their bank, though. If you sell your ticket to any entity you will no longer be in control of the ticket as their name will have to be on i

What does it say on the back of your state's tickets?
This is a kind of spinoff on PeteLawson's Claiming Anonymously thread. What does it say on the back of your tickets in regard to claiming and press conferences and release of information? One reply per state would do it, and would love to hear from those in the states that allow remaining anonymous. Illinois: This is part of the staement on the back of Illinois Lottery tickets: Important Information Players must be at least 18 years of age. This Lottery ticket is a bearer instr

States up the online anteReply
The convenience store owners need to be scared: I have several reasons why I would play online vs. the store. 1) Mean, nasty store clerks with crinkled up little faces looking down on me 'cause they had a rough day when the jackpots get high. Only this weekend I had a new clerk mess up a ticket of mine and tried to charge me twice the price. When I told her to look on the tickets themselves and she could see she was the wrong one, she cleared out the tickets from the machine and toss

Is Mirlande Wilson an Attention Seeking Fraud, or Have the Winning Ticket?Reply
I don't think it is her based on the comment from her attorney (unless she fired him). A Maryland Mega Millions winner stepped forward Monday to stake claim a third of a record $656 million jackpot, a lottery official told the Daily News. Details on the winning claim will be revealed by Maryland Lottery Director Stephen Martino at an 8 a.m. press conference Tuesday in Baltimore, officials said. In Maryland, the winner is given the choice of remaining anonymous. Lottery officials

Why can't the US be like other countries and not tax lottery winners?Reply
Frim what savagegoose has posted I still thihnk Australia has the best idea of all. The tickets are $1.03 AUS, the $.03 prepays the tax, and the playslip even has a NFP option- Not For Publication, i.e., remaining anonymous is an option. (The gov't knows you won, yeah, but your neighbors don't.) As far as I know, the U.S. is the only country that taxes gambling winnings. As for Europe and taxes - I lived in Germany for three years and the average German paid 51% Stoia , taxes. The German g

$325 MILLION: Powerball lottery jackpot increased before draw dateReply
OK so then why exactly are you playing it and saying that you will be the sole winner in all the threads? I take it that your unaminous insider did not come through for you? So you lost and now all the sudden you know unanimous insiders. I think you mean anonymous . And I know you wil be buying tickets every week from here on still. Looks to me like you fell for it every week. I would like to thank everyone for their contribution because i will be the sole winner of the massive jackpot. Than
