Store clerk busted trying to scam undercover lottery investigatorReply
I wouldn't take that as a clerk has your ticket. He could have mistakenly handed your ticket to the next customer or the ticket could of fell out after you exit the store. I think the fraud occurs when the ticket you hand them after the draw date is a winner and the clerk decide to jip you. Thoughts?

Synchronized multi-state lottery jackpots increase to combined $878 millionReply
Can you imagine the level of scrutiny given to someone who won both? I bet one or both lotteries would claim fraud and find a way to not pay.

Anyone else hate that some states won't let winners remain anonymous?Reply
How would that be any harder than a lottery official hiring a person to claim a prize? Just because you see a person give an interview doesn't make the process of transparency any more legitimate. It all comes down to the auditors and the IT personnel. Those are the ONLY people that stop the lotteries from being a free-for-all scam. If you rely on a name and photo to give lottery winners legitimacy then you're incredibly naive. I know that I'm privy to a lot of things the general public isn't wh

New York seizes $20 million in lottery prizes from people on public assistanceReply
I remember that story. She won $1 million, then couldn't understand why everyone was up in arms about her still using food stamps. I think she died of a drug overdose not long after she was charged with welfare fraud. Sad.

Lottery jackpot rigger's Iowa convictions dismissedReply
It is way more than fraud. I say 20 years. His actions had an effect in trust in the lottery system as well. This was also repeat criminal conduct that went on for years.

Lottery jackpot rigger's Iowa convictions dismissedReply
Don't think he will do much time. It's not like he murdered someone anyway. Fraud will perhaps give him 5-10 years in prison.

The 5 lottery jackpots Tipton and his friends stoleReply
Good question - that person was defrauded of $3 million. I would think the next real jackpot winner after the fraud jackpots would also feel pretty cheated. That $16 million wasn't paid out but was it returned to its rightful place in the jackpot sequence and given to the next winner(s)?

Florida Scratch Offs - Post Pictures if posibleReply
Potentially avoid Raceway on McIntosh Rd off I4 in Dover. Bought two Legacy GR losers. Before I scratched, I noticed that there was a very tiny scratch on both the tickets within the bar code region. Not sure if two tickets is really proof of fraud or not but, perhaps I may email Fla Lottery.
