Few filing claims in $4.3 million lottery scam settlement; deadline Jan. 7Reply
There is only one PB jackpot for each jackpot and if it was $400 million and is evenly divided if there is multiple winners. Each of the state lotteries are responsible for the secondary prize payouts and all of them have payout limits. If 200,000 tickets matched five numbers without the bonus number and the lottery's limit was $10 million, each ticket gets $50 tax free . Every state lottery knows exactly how much is wagered on PB before the drawing, but because they hold live ball drawings,

Judge rules Massachusetts Lottery can suspend high-frequency winnersReply
The lottery director can determine it is factually improbable for a person to win hundreds of scratcher, pick2/3, MB/PB from 500 different shops in 100 different towns. I remember reading an investigation (maybe NY) where a guy claimed 2 tickets sold minutes apart in 2 different towns and you need to take a ferry ride go get there. If a person has a legit system of winning pick 4, would they be doing it at 500 different shops in 100 different towns, possibly at different times of day and

Court rejects Colorado man's claim to full $4.8M lottery jackpot he unwittingly split with scammersReply
On May 25, 2013 there were three tickets winning a $50 million jackpot, but one of the tickets went unclaimed. On June 29, 2011 there was one winning ticket purchased in Georgia that when unclaimed too. Amir's case seemed stronger because the two other tickets were purchased knowing that Tipton rigged the drawing. But the court rule the lottery was protected against any liability after the payment of any winnings. Dawson's case is similar to the unclaimed PB ticket from 2011 in that Daws

Lottery-scamming brothers avoid asset seizures by transferring property to their motherReply
Is everybody just plain stupid or what? These brothers just proved to us all that every lottery is NOT random, the numbers are predetermined well in advance which means a computer and it's program determines the outcome of which tickets win and lose..I'll bet the farm you will have the losing ticket, and anyone who is associated with the crooks that are running the lottery are laughing all the way to the bank.The scam is not on the brothers, hell I commend them, it is on THE SCAMMED PLAYERS. So

Colorado man who unwittingly split a $4.8M jackpot with scammer is fighting the Colorado LotteryReply
Ten years later, Colorado Bureau of Investigation agents visited Massihzadeh to interview him about his winning number because they were investigating a criminal scheme to rig lotteries. and Massihzadeh, who let the computer choose his numbers, was not suspected of wrongdoing. I guess it's possible to make a self pick look like a QP, but the lottery has the ticket and know exactly what it was and where it was purchased. So it's baffling as to why they interviewed Massihzadeh. There are le

Colorado man who unwittingly split a $4.8M jackpot with scammer is fighting the Colorado LotteryReply
The state said in its court filing that the Tiptons have not paid any of the restitution to Colorado and are unlikely to do so. That's Colorado's problem, not Massihzadeh's. It's irrelevant to the case unless CO is making the argument that it doesn't have the money to pay Massihzadeh, which it isn't. CO is only making the argument that they don't have to pay Massihzadeh due to contract. In fact, the CO Lottery has its financial report prominently displayed on its website, showing the lottery

Iowa lottery lawsuit granted class action, affecting 7.2 million tickets in 19 statesReply
Eddie affected so many lives. Just like when MM and PB draw numbers 94% don't have. Maybe we should all non jackpot winners should sue. Without the melodrama, if any lives were actually affected, the blame should be on the people who hired Eddie and the lottery he worked for. Is the Multi-State Lottery Association responsible for paying all the affected lives if the Hexham Investments Trust can't? Even though the numbers Tipton picked were the only numbers that could win the jackpot, pla

Do you go out of your way to buy lottery tickets at designated "lucky" retailers?Reply
supposedly the lottery distributes more winning cards at such stores to keep up interest Stupid people often jump to the wrong conclusion because they can't see a more obvious explanation. A long time ago a friend knew somebody that worked some low level job at Publisher's Clearing House and the guy claimed that people who didn't order magazines didn't get entered in the drawing. He knew because the first thing they did with the mail was separate the entries without a magazine order into a

Investigation finds lottery scamming Tipton brothers have repaid virtually nothingReply
What a MESS !!!!!!! All from people wanting the RNG hiring an unethical person with a previous background of wrongdoing.... I have very limited sympathy for the folks in charge. You made a conscientious choice to hire Eddie Tipton How did that work out for you idiots ? RNG ought to stand for Rigged Not Genuine I truly feel sorry for the participants who paid in over those years, only to have opportunities completely squashed by 1 dirtbag and his associate(s) But yet, the RNG continues o

NY Gov Cuomo vetoes bill that would have allowed lottery jackpot winners to remain anonymousReply
A 500 million dollar jackpot can get you a lot of things, but anonymity isn't one of them. If the bill specified jackpot winners over $500 million, it's easy to understand why it was vetoed and might be understandable if it didn't include all prize winners over $601. In pushing the bill, state Sen. Kathy Marchione (R-Saratoga County) and Assemblywoman Aileen Gunther (D-Sullivan County) had said the idea of giving the option of privacy is to protect lottery winners from being targets of sc
