Lottery Post's guide to 2023 holiday raffles across the USAReply
Wouldn't it be great if the USA had an el Gordo jackpot raffle much like Spain does? Maybe Christmastime and independence day. I think it would bring people together. Imagine how much $$$ would wound up in USA el Gordo? And all the winners with there shares of the prize? And because it would be a federal raffle ...those states without a lottery could still play. Maybe sell the raffle at the post office in each town or city? Just saying. BTW thanks for the article Ms Kate

Yup...that's them. That article appeared The WAPO in 2006 and it also found it's way here to The Lottery Post. Although I was a fan of Lotto News and its sister publication Lotto Stats, I found that I had the same stats/info at my finger tips on my PC with the copy of the commercially available lottery software I had bought. For many New York players that didn't have software, Lotto Stats provided them a hardcopy of stats they couldn't find elsewhere, and I think that's the biggest reason wh

$910 MILLION: Mega Millions lottery jackpot making another historic runReply
This is indeed interesting. My understanding has been that tax is based on residence especially for the annuity after the first payment. I have read widely on Taxes and have wanted to know what are the best tax strategies. Unless the CPAs and CFAs are totally wrong, I don't know who to believe. Below is an extract and a link to some articles from Tax Advisors. @KY Floyd: let me know what your thoughts are after reading the below and the article. From a state tax perspective, an

Washington Lottery Hit 5 ticket worth $755,000 expires soonReply
Makes no sense! Happens all the time... Here's an 2016 article title just for my state: Since 1997, more than $60 million in Wisconsin Lottery winnings have gone unclaimed, according to figures supplied to USA TODAY NETWORK. From the year before: More than $2 million was left on the table by Wisconsin residents who had winning lottery tickets but failed to collect their cash in fiscal year 2015, (doesn t include scratch-off tickets). Each year!! , the amount typically fell between $

Massachusetts store clerk indicted after stealing lottery ticket worth $3 million from customerReply
Now why would they ask you that? Like I said in my last post, someone that actually won a $1 million plus jackpot could tell us the entire ticket validation process or a lottery official could too. Short of that we can only speculate on if the ticket holder is asked questions about purchasing the ticket. According to the article the guy that bought the ticket forgot his lottery tickets in the terminal tray , but when 45 minutes later when another customer bought tickets, Nunes entered

Former Ohio Lottery Director denies claims of harassment days before resigning for "medical reasons"Reply
A great article. When any sort of an organization and even law firms get in trouble with typically valid harassment and discrimination claims, the org hires a name law firm to prepare these investigatory types of reports. But keep in mind who pays for these reports and who the client is. These reports usually conclude by saying let's train everyone and do touchy Feely group sessions but do not admit any wrong doing. Rarely do they ever admit wrong doing. These reports also provide for the en

Winner of £105 million EuroMillions lottery jackpot keeps promise three years laterReply
He donated less than 1% of his net worth There's no telling how much these people or any other lottery winners have donated since most stay under the radar. The article mentions a couple of charitable causes. It does not in any way imply they constitute a complete list. Edwin Castro does the same and he's painted as a clown The few comments disparaging his home purchase are not representative of most LP readers. There is nothing interesting about this guy No kid

The ever increasingly inflated jackpot prizes for MM and PBReply
The gulf between the cash and annuity options has become larger because inflation has prompted a rise in interest rates, which in turn results in potentially larger investment gains. With annuities, the jackpot cash is essentially invested and then paid out to winners over three decades. https://www.bigcountryhomepage.com/news/if-you-win-1-2b-powerball-perhaps-consider-not-taking-cash/ Another article worth a read.... https://www.msn.com/en-us/money/markets/why-the-2-04-billion
