Friend charged with hiding lottery winner's deathReply
That's certainly true. Mr. Shakespeare is an example. So was David Edwards. And many others. Lottery's are quick to point out how 'smart people' have no problems once they win. They like to make ad hominen (sp) arguments like that. I think we lose track of the point when we go to cases, and people weigh in with the 'I could of done it better' POV. That seems to reflect what those state boards are all saying. Jack Whittaker was interviewed in 2007. He noted that he had made a mistake

What's Your Quirky Little Superstition?Reply
sully16, Magglio Ordonez....I guess for women in Chicago it's Carlos Quentin! lottocalgal, You're well versed in numerology! I read this somewhere and say it to myself when I play the tickets; Money, money come to me for I deserve prosperity ____________________________________ Every once in a while one of the tabloids, usually The Sun, has a lottery article or a Lucky Pyramid to cut out and place over your tickets. I do that or put a leprechuan charm over them.

I used to write this made-up newspaper called the Lemmer Times, in which I made up . It was on the Internet on a family friend's company's web site, but I Googled it last year and it does not seem to be on the Internet anymore. But that is not the point I am trying to make. When I wrote this article I came up with some interesting ideas for lotteries. Alphabet Soup: Kind of like the Pick-3, but instead of drawing numbers, the official draws 3 letters A-Z. (Maybe someone's proposed it to a lot

Lottery donation decisionReply
JAP69, Thanks for finding the article. hearsetrax, Thanks for the insight. Raven62, That all sounds good on paper, but how many people could have beneftited from the $10,000,000 they refused? That's a significant amounf of money. From your post quoting the SA ....concerning the responsibility to use money productively, to guard against greed, and not to gain at the expense of others. What about the downtrodden and those in need not benefitting because of the stubborness

Lottery hoax causes riot at Ohio coat storeReply
Floyd, With all due respect, after reading your post all I can say is that you're off the reservation, all over the map and quite possibly in a parallel universe. Check your coordinates. 1) There is nothing axiomatic about restriction or prohibition of states rights. The restrictions and prohibitions are all on the federal government and stated very clearly. 2) For you to say that the Bill of Rights restricts or even mentions restricting states rights is ludicrous. It's all about the in

Here's an LP story dealing with this. https://www.lotterypost.com/news/179824 Below is another story about how the Salvation Army turned down money from lottery winnings. The last line in this article says it all. Resize - Minus Resize - Plus MARCO ISLAND, Fla. (AP) - The Salvation Army will not accept a $100,000 donation from a Florida Lotto winner because its local leader didn't want to take money associated with gambling. David L. Rush, 71, annou

2 lottery tickets split $333M Mega Millions jackpotReply
Incredible, was the first word out of my mouth when I logged on to the NYLottery website this morning The moment I saw the words '38 W. Fordham Rd I knew the ticket was sold right around the block from where my cousin lives. Unfortunately for him, he doesn't play haha. I'm just glad the winning ticket wasn't purchase where I bought my tickets (or anywhere else near me, for that matter)I would probably go insane haha. I was reading the NY Times article this morning and laughed, with a m

Computerized lottery drawings not problem-freeReply
I posted some comments on the Arkansas News site that originally posted this story, so I'll repeat my comments here: It is too bad that the Arkansas News interviewed several representatives of state lotteries, yet failed to contact the person who wrote the original editorial and is keeping this issue of computerized drawings in the forefront. By not contacting me, the Arkansas News has established the issue as a rather troubling one, but then did nothing but chip away at that concept

Hawaii residents now taxed on Vegas winnings even if they loseReply
The new law is retroactive to January of this year. First of all, ARE YOU FREAKIN' KIDDING ME??? How is this even possible and, more importantly, WHY are we putting up with these shenanigans from the people we elect to represent our interests??? Second, retroactive is just another word for the legal term, ex post facto, meaning after the fact. Such laws were previously prohibited by Article One, Section 10, Clause 1 of the United States Constitution, which reads, Section 10, Clau
