Food for thought regarding anonymity....Reply
Anonymity has always been a popular topic on this board. I've lived in several states including MA, NH and now FL and I don't think there's anyway to keep your name out of the public records, even with a Trust. Maybe I'm not recalling the NH laws correctly, since I never won enough to worry about them. But I thought that no matter how your money is claimed, the name of the trust, the lawyer and the person who owns the trust will be published. That doesn't mean that it will be printed in the new

Most Bizarre Numbers you have SeenReply
No...nothing like hacking the computers. It is more like a chess game. I believe that the Lotto computers are able to analyze all the numbers that have been played up to a certain time on Friday(just before they do their security walk through). The lower the amount up for winning the less opportunity you have to manipulate a misdirection ....because there are soo many combinations out there. But I have been having a little fun the last two months. Take half the numbers. Lock those down with s

Lotto DocumentaryReply
A lot of us who are older no longer care that much about putting on airs. Uff Da! So true. Although I've been that way most of my adult life. I've often thought there must be something wrong with me because I have no desire for lots of jewelry or fancy clothes. I get the strangest stares when I say if win the lottery, I'm going to buy a new Camry. I do agree there are many people who buy lottery tickets who probably should spend the money on groceries. However, in this country $1 doesn

Too bad it wasn't recognized just how bad her mind must have been and another family member put in charge of her financial matters. Then again, I'm not so sure that is always a good situation, either. In my own case, I know that if I had a stroke or otherwise became mentally incapacitated, if I didn't have legal documents to indicate other

Man charged with forging lottery ticket claims it was a jokeReply

They know within minutes what you owe if you owe or if there are warrants for you, outstanding parking tickets, judgments the works. This is a state run office. I know guys that thought they would fool the system get someone else to cash their ticket. And when the second party went in to cash

Lottery Post Mobile Edition
I've made some improvements to Lottery Post Mobile, the web site for use with mobile devices like cell phones and PDAs. At this point I've pretty much finished all the work on the forums (the features are complete). The mobile features are as follows: The goal of any mobile application is quick and simple access to valuable features and information, so Lottery Post Mobile focuses on only things that are simple to do, and do not require a lot of typing.

What would the experts do with a lottery jackpot?Reply
Another very astute observation GameGrl. But you are right again, being I came from practically nothing, and grew up with the bare minimum, I learned quickly to value what I already did have in life and to never take anything for granted like most do. Everything I have now I earned through my own hard work, intelligence, and wisdom derived from years of hardship and simply just trying to get by. That is why you will never hear me complaining about winning a lucky for life jackpot Everyone ta

Wisconsin Megabucks lottery winners come forwardReply
We have entirely viewpoint on life. In NJ, they keep the money for 30-days after you make your claim. I've won a couple of times myself, and had to wait. To me, that 30 days is plenty of time to make plans. The actual date of claiming the money has zero to do with the tax man in NJ; that is an entirely different process. The state of NJ will take the tax money the federal government requires (25% if you have an SSAN). Then they disappear. You can be indecisive for 6 minutes or 11 months an
