EXCLUSIVE: Weeks-long computerized draw error prevented many DC Lottery tickets from winning a prizeReply
The DC government is well known for being very incompetent across the board and that is one of the reasons it cannot get statehood. A one traffic light town is more competent. A guy in my office was on DC unemployment comp for a month or two before he worked for my employer and got a threatening letter stating that he owed them $40 k. Lol. He tried a million ways to tell them that he received a few thousand in benefits but every rep there did not care. He had to bring in an attorney to meet

Arizona lottery retailer employee sued after buying $12.8 million ticket knowing it was a winnerReply
Was the ticket created before the draw ? Appears to be Was the ticket legally sold to a person who can legally purchase it ?? Appears to be Can the legally printed/not-yet-sold ticket be purchased after the draw ?? Does the Manager have any history of buying returned tickets, after any previous draws ? This will be interesting if/when it gets to a court and not in the Lottery Commissions hands.

Judge dismisses $320 million lawsuit for DC Lottery posting wrong Powerball numbersReply
Cheeks went pro se a while back. I am sure it was likely due to non payment to his attorney. I have been following the cases and my understanding is that the DC lottery and MUSL ( and vendor?) actions are still pending but should be dismissed soon. Only the Florida lottery matter was dismissed. I have no clue why Cheeks included the Florida lottery as a party legal strategy wise. Courts give pro se parties a lot of time to file and amend pleadings over and over so there is no cause ther

I'm done playing the lotteryReply
Just as we all knew, he stayed up all night posting his rants. He also shows his lack of basic knowledge and research skills regarding a law degree vs a general criminal justice degree. Law degrees involve learning about case law, legal research and court room skills. A criminal justice degree focuses on none of these items. It focuses on crime and investigatory techniques, policing, etc. As we all know, I made no comments about fat bankers. He wanted people to defend his entitled grifter w

One Last Hurrah for 6's and 9's. Hopefully...
Good after-the-FM Morning LP Family! It still feels full to me, so I'm going with it. Clearly, 6 and 9 are the digits holding court for days and days, it seems. Astro happenings during the night should push this to the wall and hopefully (soon), like today, clear the air for other great numbers to show up. Mercury has moved to Scorpio, joining Mars there while the Moon languishes in fiery head-butting stubborn Aries. Water and Fire throughout almost the entire zodiac right now (we'll leave that

New Jersey Lottery proposes rules regulating courier services to allow them to operateReply
My experience as a foreigner living outside USA.. My courier service allows me to buy tickets in overseas lotteries. I play worldwide over the Internet Some services buy your ticket (your order) and scan it (to prove that they bought it :)). Some (My service) just seem to add the lines I buy to their total order. If your ticket wins anything, they claim the prize (but your account is credited immediately.. It may take time to actually get the cash for larger wins). The courier p

Florida man arrested after attempting to cash stolen $115,000 Fantasy 5 lottery ticketReply
This story might be more complicated than it already appears to be. Jawed presented the ticket to The Florida Lottery and initiated a claim on October 20. Authorities contacted Jawed by phone on Nov. 24, 2025, and visited his home on january 5th. He was booked in The Palm Beach County jail on January 8th. That says to me that Jawed could have been paid by The Florida Lottery on October 20th, but if they did that, then they would have withheld Federal Income Taxes from the payout. S

Arizona lottery retailer employee sued after buying $12.8 million ticket knowing it was a winnerReply
it was the first time a big winner was amongst the rejected pile. I think I remember a similar story in the past, but it's not a good enough memory to be very confident. Memory aside, probability suggest that it would he been for a smaller amount prize. I'm obviously not a lawyer but it's pretty obvious that the ticket belongs to the store. It was unsold at the time of the draw therefore the store had to buy it. I agree, but primarily for a different reason.According to the firs

$1.1 BILLION: Powerball jackpot increased in longest-ever winless streakReply
Yeah but the ticket isn't really yours until 1. You sign it 2. You present it to a lottery official right ? The ticket is yours the moment you buy it. What it isn't is an financial instrument worth millions. Even after the drawings it's not worth anymore than you paid for it. The ticket only becomes valuable when the lottery validates it and says it's worth the prize it won. As a practical matter it becomes valuable as soon as you submit the claim, but the money isn't yours until the ticket
