Three men charged with stealing $1M from lottery winnerReply
Thank you! All it is is common sense. Does the guy have a right to keep millions of dollars in his home? Sure. Does he deserve to get robbed? No. But if you don't have a very good safe or security in your home, then odds are something like this will or could happen. He was robbed by his relatives, so something was lacking in his security and odds are he won't get most of his money back. If it had been in a bank, he probably would not be going through this.

It was probably an internal security investigation that discovered and stopped the theiving. It's the human element. When the payoffs are high, there will always be someone willing to take the risk. Having ball drawings alone isn't any extra protection from would-be thieves. Multiple layers

Winning and Moving to Income Tax Free StateReply
You would be taxed by both the state in which you purchase the ticket and the state in which you live. The state in which you live would grant a credit in some form or another, not necessarily on the entire tax paid. States like New York and Delaware use apportioning to determine taxable income. This means non-residents calculate their tax as if they are residents, then multiply it by a percent determined from state income vs. total income. Residents of such states would use a similar method to
