SC officials getting nervous that $1.5 billion Mega Millions winner won't claim prizeReply
There.Is.No.Phone.Route There is only ONE way to verify a winning ticket. I keep telling you this and you've overlooked this detail like 4 times now. Let's backtrack here..... What you are wanting is for the winner to call the lottery office (to verify said ticket) so people can stop worrying about the ticket but in hindsight the only way to verify the ticket is to have it read through the machine in the lottery office. Not a copy of the ticket......not a picture...the actual physical

Homeless man dives into dumpster to retrieve lottery ticket worth $4.82MReply
WOW.....Can't we all just be happy he won? Why so critical of the article? Who here hasn't accidentally thrown something away and then wonder where the heck you put it? Also, my best friend has been playing the same powerball numbers for over 14 years - he still has yet to memorize the numbers or adequately keep up with them. He's older and just relies on that slip. When the lottery here (in SC) changed companies and switched out slips he didn't even know how to fill out the new slip when his di

If a dual (UK/USA) citizen wins the Euro Jackpot?Reply
Somebody who's only a UK citizen will only owe US income taxes if they earn the money in the US or live in the US when they earn it. That's why I said dual citizenship is irrelevant. Someone with dual citizenship probably won a U.S. lottery, told the lottery people they had a citizenship in another country too, and the IRS withholding was changed to 30%. The article is about people who apparently didn't know that they're US citizens. The banks needed a Federal ID and contacted thos

You just won a huge lottery jackpot! Now what?Reply
U.S. citizens who provide a social security number will have 24% of a prize over $5,000 withheld before receiving the prize. If you are not a U.S. citizen or do not provide a social security number when you claim, then they withhold 30% before receiving the prize. Also, your state (and local taxes, if any, will be withheld too) before you get any money. Plus, as the article states, Melissa Labant, a tax policy expert at the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, said win

Cycles - Interesting NumbersReply
So.... I had a bit of a look at this paper last night. First thing with any published paper is to check authenticity. Especially when right at the top of the 1st page is the date April 1st. Did some research on the person and could only find one record of him with a gmail contact. Will be attempting to make direct contact and see what ensues. As exciting as it is to feel like I have found a potential pattern, and to have that potentially confirmed by the deep learning AI it is of

U.S. Supreme Court overturns federal sports-wagering banReply
Interesting news item; WILL ILLEGAL BOOKIES GO OUT OF BUSINESS? Probably not, said Kate Lowenhar-Fisher, a Las Vegas-based attorney who chairs the gaming practice at Dickinson Wright. Illegal bookies have longstanding relationships with their customers, some of whom prefer the anonymity of gambling offshore, and they don't have to pay taxes or fees. Plus, with states legalizing sports betting in a piecemeal fashion, illegal operators will continue to be more convenient for many bettors.

The Gambler Who Cracked the Horse Racing CodeReply
Thank You Steve, most informative article proving again all is possible, even overcoming the track odds and all games including NYX can be won with a R.O.I. - happens everyday @gambling ground zero Las Vegas and New York NYX :-) Again, the thing that hurts us the most, is to witness the future and still deny the Past. Whatever you do, do it to the purpose , do it thoroughly, not superficially . Go to the bottom of things. Anything half done or half known is in my mind, neither done, or do

Australia moves to ban 'fake' online lottery wageringReply
Lottoland is a different animal than the ticket service that sold the Iraqi the winning Oregon lottery ticket. Unlike that service, Lottoland does not actually purchase lottery tickets from a legitimate lottery retailer. Instead, they buy nothing except insurance . So when you use Lottoland, you are not actually playing the lottery (which is why the article refers to it being a fake lottery). Everyone has to make their own choice on these things, but personally I would never use a service lik

Judge rules $560M Powerball lottery winner can stay anonymousReply
Now everyone else can sue the lotteries into oblivion. If you were hit in the head it's not because the sky is falling. This ruling probably has almost zero consequence for anything other than the next person who signs their own name to the back of a New Hampshire lottery ticket. It seems to address only this one particular case, so the next winner who signs their own name can claim it as precedent but would still have to establish that their circumstances are essentially similar. It may be
