Former Texas Lottery employee investigated for storing personal information at homeReply
I got my letter yesterday. I won $600 2 years ago. I was shocked. I will do a fraud alert after I look at my credit report. For all I know this employee could have sold it to others.

$85M sought for "defective" Virginia lottery ticketsReply
I agree. I don't think it's defective. I think it is fraud. Most people play for the chance to win the top prizes and when the lottery officials know that the top prizes are won and don't say anything...well, there is something wrong with that. I think all states who sell scratch offs should have to tell the public that the top prizes are gone. This way players can choose to still play if they don't mind playing for lower wins.

How do I prove my state lottery's CGNs are fixed?Reply
I'm working on making fraud detection a part of JADE LSG 2.0. That way anyone can number crunch themselves. This is just a test run of a few detection methods.

From The Tn Lottery website.......Can you believe some people would think they have to PAY FEES for something they won!!!!! Sad Sad World NASHVILLE Tennesseans are asked to beware of letters suggesting they have won a prize in the popular lottery game Powerball.

I find your opinion interesting. If you know of this, then others would likely know of this. Which would lead to exposing fraud. Which would lead to? Care to expand your thoughts?

Should one play if they have others feeding themReply

That's what I meant when I said we need to take care of ourselves. However, I don't know if that's possible. I used to believe strongly in a society where each person would contribute his/her fair share of work. I'm no longer a believer in a Marxist type government From each according to his

Heartbreak: Lottery scam led to NJ grandmother's suicideReply
There are already penaties for fraud. The problem is catching the people who are committing the fraud. Some of them are stupid, but it's not easy to catch the smarter ones.

At the opposite end, there will always be people falling for the newest (and sometimes the very old) scams. The technology to scan emails is readily available, but if you think tha
