Piqua lottery winners sued by co-workersReply
the 41 million lawsuit is probably based on the original 200+ million prize I don't know. The article did not elaborate. Given the facts available, yes, I find it sickening that a lawsuit has to be filed. As previously stated, the pool did have money available during that day's absence of the entire pool with which to purchase the winning ticket. And they are all frequent pool participants. I do not necessarily mean they should quit their job at once, but rather with proper

Tenn. Lottery CEO blames lagging sales on PowerballReply
Go to the Knoxville News Sentinel website and read the entire article. She's blowing smoke up Bredesen's a$$...she doesn't want to admit the random number machine decision continues to impact sales, blaming Powerball for the drop in revenue doesn't fly, that game only significantly impacts sales once it's over $150M or so. Funny how they're going back and stating that they're claiming sales will be up versus last year...that because sales were DOWN last year because of the screw-ups and the rand

Lottery ticket has all the numbers, but 7 seconds lateReply
This (surprise, surprise) looks like naked greed to me. First - most lotteries prevent this very thing (and also attempts at past posting) by using draw breaks. I'm amazed that Lotto Quebec (at least according to the article) doesn't have them. 8-10 seconds is a long, long transaction time. Most lotteries require systems to print the ticket in under 4 seconds from Send to Cut . A system that can't support the meager volume Lotto Quebec was generating is certainly not Canada Class

Judge rules Washington lottery winners can't be anonymousReply
This couple did the same thing I'd have done had I won - try to pull off anonymity and hope it works. In my former communications with the lottery office, though they mentioned the open records law, they also held out that slim chance that one might be able to get a court order to prevent the release of names in some circumstances. So I'd say it was worth a shot, even if it didn't work. Since the winners ran the money through a trust, I'd think that they would have hired an attorney to draft

N.Y. man spends thousands in search of lottery richesReply
Yeah this guy definitely has some problems, how can he manage to spend $30,000 a year on lotteries when the article says he makes $40,000 a year. I don't blame him for being mad about it, but he shpuld be mad at himself. I personally just spent $15 on lottery today and didn't win, but it was the first time in a couple weeks and to be honest I don't think I'll be playing for a little while after as it is. Unfortunately, I've met quite a few people like this throughout my lifetime. There used t

If i win 200 million dollars..Reply
Probably why we dont have a women president. No, it is because of sexist attitudes like yours. Just look at the way Hillary Clinton was treated by the media. Business Week in an article reported: If forced to choose between equally qualified male and female candidates for a top-level job, they say they often pick the woman--not because of affirmative action or any particular desire to give the female a chance but because they believe she will do a better job. Studies have shown

so when you say "validate" a ticketReply
What I'd do would depend on the state lottery I'm playing. I live right on the Oregon/Washington border. So, sometimes I get Oregon tickets, sometimes Washington tickets. I prefer Washington tickets because, unlike Oregon, they allow winners to set up a blind trust ... and have an attorney acting as trustee claim the ticket - thereby retaining anonimity for the winner. Other states like Ohio allow for the same anonimity protection via trustees. One state, Kansas, actually has an anonimity provis

Don't Spend Your Jackpot!Reply
That's because the people writing almost every article never won a large jackpot and it's just their opinion of what they would do if they won. They are also written by financial advisors who stand to make lots of money off of the winner's investments. When jackpot winners say they will continue to work after getting their multi-million dollar check, I roll my eyes because they never had to get up in the morning and go to work having that much money in their pockets. It doesn't make any sense

What would you do if you won the lottery?Reply
I think I've seen that before, it's an alright article but do nothing for six months? Are they nuts?! The thing is to not go nuts and keep some sense of sanity after winning. But I do agree, that put it in something safe, even if you do only get a four or five percent return, at least you're earning something and use that time to get things more together, including educating yourself in what you can and cannot do, along with at least getting some sort of grasp on the investment markets. To me, t
