Witness Says N.C. Lottery Commissioner Met With Possible VendorNews Story
Within days of joining the state's lottery commission, Kevin Geddings met with a man who wanted to do business with North Carolina, an attorney testified Monday at Geddings' federal fraud trial. Joe Lucas, a Charlotte lawyer, said he arranged for Geddings to meet with a friend who maintained instant ticket machines for the Georgia lottery. The friend performed the work under contract with Scientific Games Corp., Lucas said. Prosecutors have accused Geddings of failing to disclose to the St

Ky. Lottery Under Fire For Scratch-Off TicketsReply
Clearly the Kentucky Lottery is not being up front with their players. Their notion of who cares if the top prizes are gone it's still fun to play is an insult to the intelligence of the players. What a crock! I really like LotteryPlayer's idea! I think we should take it one step farther: Bob, Human Resources: Here's you $40,000 salary. John, Lottery Employee: $40,000? My contract says $100,000. Bob: Yes that's correct and here's your $40,000. John: I don't get it. My contrac

Maryland: 12/1 - 12/31/2022Reply
This had to have been in the works for quite awhile in order to just drop the press release and schedule to go live 1 week later. This just shows how little the MD Lottery cares about the players. I know some palms got greased in all this. Good question jarasan 1. Who picked Smart Play International to get the contract? 2. Was there even a bidding process for the contract? 3. Why weren't there a public hearing so players could at the very least voice their concerns? 4. Did the Ma

$900 MILLION: Mega Millions lottery jackpot raised just hours after initial estimateReply
You actually don't need to do any of that. Especially when the split is only between a few people or closely related people. Having a written agreement, notarized or not, is most beneficial when it comes to protecting yourself against false claims. Simple verbal agreements actually do hold up. If the assertions of all parties involved corroborate each other then it's a verbal agreement. And verbal agreements between small groups of people who split a jackpot are quite common. Verbal agreemen

CT Lottery security chief on paid leave following review of botched raffle drawReply
turn something as simple as firing the idiots who messed up into a giant mess What's the giant mess? I doubt anyone here is interested in reading the entire report, so all we're likely to know will come from the snippets that are reported in the media. The people who actually conducted the drawing obviously screwed up, but how and why they screwed up is a lot more complicated than just entering the wrong number and not catching the mistake. their job is to AUDIT the process of the drawi

Trump Tax Revelations No Surprise to Past Associates: part 2 Rosenberg was able to recoup a portion of the money left on his contract, but he still took a hit. He knew others weren't as lucky. Did we survive? Absolutely, he said. But there were a lot of people who didn't. That feeling is shared by retired music store owner Michael Diehl, who says he lost $30,000 or about a third of his yearly income -- on a $100,000 contract to supply the Taj with grand pianos. The 89-year-old said th

Jury: Lottery winner must pay ex-boyfriend part of winningsReply
. TO ALL LOTTO PLAYERS: Be careful of what you promise other people, especially regarding your lotto prizes. Never make a promise to someone else, and state anything in an email, paper or anything like that, unless you put definite restrictions on it. And don't loan a SINGLE DOGGONE PENNY to anyone else, without a signed contract of some sort. Unless of course, it's for cab fare, and you don't want to keep Achmed, the cabby waiting, while you and the little woman go through the mone

Lottery system 99% effective legal matters questionReply
No amount of paperwork, legal or otherwise will protect you from dishonest people. Your Honor, my client Mr. Green in no way violated this contract. Yes, he won the $300 Mega Million jackpot, using his own money and the numbers he himself chose. And it should be noted Mr. SystemProvider has offered not one shred, not a single piece of credible evidence, that Mr. Green either used his system, or won anything as a result of what Mr. SystemProvider revealed. This court has nothing more than

Illinois lottery winners file class-action lawsuit against stateReply
Since the Illinois Comptroller is not performing their job Based on the story you posted 2 weeks ago it appears that the comptroller is doing exactly what his job requires - not writing checks because the lack of a budget means he doesn't have the proper authority to do so. It also seems clear that it's not actually a lottery problem. Under Illinois law rather than having the lottery disburse large winnings it's done by the state comptroller. Based on that it seems to me that the plaintiffs

Your stars finally align and you win, but...Reply
If the win was after the break-up, and didn't include any of the money that was pooled, I see no reason the other person would get anything. Just because you two dated and now you've won the lottery, they are just as entitled to a share of that money as that guy down the street you've never even talked to. Now, if it was using funds you two pooled together, then they deserve half, no matter what the relationship status is. I think the basic rule is that you don't discuss sharing
