Three men charged with stealing $1M from lottery winnerReply
If all the bank does is lose 750k of it from your account all you have to do is prove that you actually had the money in the account and you will be able to withdraw it, subject to the normal rules for the account. You don't have to pay for their accounting problems. OTOH, if the bank fails, FDIC insurance will cover up to $100,000 for each depositor, or $250,000 for an IRA. Current banking regulations makes failure fairly unlikely, especially for large banks. I still wouldn't want my account

Went public too soon?Reply
I agree with Scary Konane..their life, their choice. But one thing we all know about this board is we come here to throw out ideas and get back opinions. I don't think the criticism is specifically aimed at the winners, since we don't know them personally. Just like rock stars and other celebrities, the people in these articles become targets for readers to point at, but when we go to bed at night, it really makes no difference to us. If it does, I strongly suggest therapy! :-) One of the mos

Police seize winning lottery ticket bought with drug moneyReply
KY Floyd Rick Whoa! This man was NOT arrested for using drugs. The prescription he had was legal. He was arrested for selling them. This happens all the time on this board. The right to privacy has nothing at all to do with our right to put whatever we want into our bodies. So are you saying it's perfectly okay for someone to sell drugs, prescription or not? What if one of your kids bought his drugs? Drugs can be impure and cut with poisons. In this case, they were from a pharmacy, so they

Police seize winning lottery ticket bought with drug moneyReply
It won't be long before your car can be taken because you have an unpaid parking ticket. That's nothing new. I knew someone in 1975 who had his car towed for having too many tickets. They used to use a boot, but that was a long time ago. So what? If you violate the law too many times, you should pay the price! I guess all of us should park in front of fire hydrants and hospitals or drive 50mph past a school bus and just get away with it! Driving a car is not a right, it's a priv

A railroad worker from Lincoln, Nebraska collected a $500,000 check Friday from the second chance drawing of the Iowa/Kansas Midwest Millions scratch ticket lottery game. Fifty-year-old Ralph Kuwamoto says he bought the tickets at a store called Eddy's in Glenwood, Iowa and then mailed them in for the second-chance drawing. Kuwamoto says he didn't think anything about it until a friend called. He says he was coming home from St. Joseph, Missouri when he got a call from a buddy in Arizona

Texas students rank USA lotteriesReply
This was such a refreshing article. These students have done a great job. What better subject for a Statistics Class than the lottery. They raised some points that I hadn't thought about like free ticket being calulating in as prizes. It should be a law for all states to remove scratch offs when the major prizes are gone. This is interesting about TN. Just an observation CEO compensation as much as 6 times the national average They are doing their jobs.LOL

$26 million in winning Michigan lottery tickets unclaimedReply
I know what you mean. One member the other day wrote that Florida is a wealthy state. I'm not so sure about that since there is such a gap here between the people who spend 1/2 of the year here the rest of us. Now that the economy is slow and people aren't buying houses, it trickles down to all retail establishments and furniture stores, jewelry and clothing stores are closing. I hope your friend is able to hang onto his business until things turn around. I think now days, it is hard

Heartbreak: Lottery scam led to NJ grandmother's suicideReply
I agree with all of you. How can anyone believe she won $2.5 million from another country and send money? But it happens all the time. It was probably the humiliation that killed her. We will also never know what her family said to her. I deleted my comment yesterday because I sounded so judgmental. I understand what it's like to lose so much (your home, money, health) and starting all over at age 72 can't be easy. She must have been overwhelmed with shame and embarrassment. Howev
