Jackpot winner? (after the big win)Reply
Elixabeth03, you wrote It is a sin if you overspend and think only about yourself and no one else...If you win a large amount and help people along the way, God I know is very pleased with that.. ______________ Thank you for the guilt trip as you tell other people you don't know or their belief structure how to run their lives - while not accepting any level of responsibility. That's actually a red flag for me as you will read later. Me personally. 1. Thank God 2. Good lawyer

If a sibling of yours won a lottery jackpot, how much would you expect to be given?Reply
1. Spending that large a percentage of your winnings on a home is horrible investment planning. Ask any investment advisor if you don't believe me. 2. If you are close to your family, are you really going to be happy living it up in a $7,000,000 house, while your brother or sister struggles to pay their mortgage? 3. $10,000 only seems fair if you are self-centered, or simply don't like that particular family member. If you give away $400,000 to the people closest to you, that is on

Judge rules Washington lottery winners can't be anonymousReply
Playing in another state is not a very practical solution for most people who live in Washington, where the case in question occurred. Distances here are great for many people to travel to another state. I'd have to travel almost 200 miles, for example, and the chance to remain anonymous in that state is questionable, as well. And as for using another means of getting the tickets, here is a quote from a summary of some of the state's gambling laws: Washington State Internet Gambling

Lottery winner donates $3M jackpot to churchNews Story
A Long Island, N.Y., congregation was praying for pennies from heaven to help expand their church, but instead they were showered with millions. A parishioner who wants to remain anonymous donated his $3 million winning Ba Da Bling scratch-off lottery ticket to The True North Community Church in Port Jefferson. The donation came as a complete surprise to Pastor Bert Crabbe, though he told the congregation the church was facing financial problems because it was growing so fast. Our cong

Could any of you help me?
Hi everybody, I am an undergraduate Anthropology major at Tulane University in New Orleans, Louisiana. I'm doing a project about lottery tickets for my Anthropology of Money class and I was hoping some of you could answer some questions for me. The project is about how people use money and give it meaning outside of a strictly economic sense, looking at money from a social aspect. You can answer some or all of the questions, or if you would just like to speak about your experinces with lo

List of States Which Allow Anonymous WinnersReply
Good idea to post the FAQ/email for backup CoinToss. Colorado - No but allows trusts - email Dear Lilly, The only way to really remain anonymous is to set up a trust to claim your prize. State law requires us to release the name of our Jackpot winners, the amount of their prize and where the ticket was sold on our Web site and to make that information available if we ever get an open records request. If you claim as a trust, the only the trust's name will appear on the site.

N.D. Lottery wrestles with credit card buying optionsReply
OK, here we go: Coin Toss, can you tell me why you think your chances are worse? I realize the odds change when even 1 number is added, but I kept my 6 numbers when FL changed from a 6/49 game to a 6/53 game and don't remember any announcements about advanced plays being invalid. Granted the odds are astronimical to begin with, but, the following would make an intereting court case. A lottery ticket is a contract, at least of sorts (I'm sure some legal breagle here on LP can expo
