interesting dilemma / opinions welcomeReply
Thanks for your reply ... When I employed the word dilemma , it's not like I'm caught at an intersection where I'm going to do anything illegal or unethical. Despite my soon to be ...ex wife....not being deserving of the half, my ethics matter to me more than her ending up with half. So the beginning query looked like it was framed so I could skirt the law. Quite the contrary. I was looking for a *legal way* to make it happen, but it's looking like my end - around proposition w

Can MM & PB Start Being Honest? Must this farce continue?Reply
It was clearly a personal attack. If you don't realize calling someone an idiot is a personal attack, I think you need to go back to school and learn English. Do you actually believe it makes no sense from a business standpoint to advertise the highest possible jackpot they will pay? Seriously, you really need to go learn English. You really lack reading comprehension. I clearly stated that I AGREED WITH YOU IN THAT IT DOES MAKE SENSE for the lottery. so why would you as

Atheist converts after mock prayer to win $1M lottery is answeredReply
Geeze, if that was a movie I think I would have slept through it. As usual though, just more evasive action. The fact that you want any mention of God or Jesus or prayer or saints or anything relating to that banned, wasn't even mentioned. You even went so far as to demand that God bless America be banned. Now, the debate has suddenly shifted to ethics in debate and politeness and propriety and decorum and who called who the worst names. Well, how convenient! Now you don't have to de

TV station reports on the Kansas LotteryReply
To be fair, I'll offend both parties. Some jokes I read.... Robert Torricelli, a powerful fund-raiser who helped raise more than $100 million for the Democratic party, took inappropriate gifts from a businessman, including an $8,000 gold Rolex watch, for which he was severely admonished by the Senate Ethics Committee in July. To recap: raising $100 million in contributions from gigantic corporations ethical; taking a watch unethical. That's the Senate Ethics Committee, an oxymoron since

Massachusetts store clerk indicted after stealing lottery ticket worth $3 million from customerReply
Lottery officials have standard operating procedures and with large jackpot wins, you WILL be asked questions. Your lack of ethics is appalling. You will get nothing if they ascertain that you lied.

Would you ever pretend to be LO after being scammed by Clerk?Reply
Pretending and representing yourself to be someone else, especially an official, is a crime. Your lack of ethics is appalling. Your over the top fear about being scammed is not normal.

People please! Throw away your unwanted Lottery slips!Reply
Of course it was an honest mistake, but you did the right thing. What you did is called being ethical. It was a sticky situation, but you did the ethical thing. That's the problem with the world today, a lack of ethics, not to mention a lack of respect for other people and their property. We'd all be living in a much nicer world than we currently do if everybody respected other people. Sadly some don't. G5

Details emerge about CT Lottery CEO secretly recording board chairman in 2014Reply
When law enforcement gives you the all clear to wear a recording device, it doesn't matter if your state is a one- or two-party consent state. I can't fault Turner for skipping over the state ethics board and going straight to the feds. She probably had good reason to believe other bureaucrats would be ineffective or compromised.

NH Powerball lottery winner sues for anonymityReply
I think it's a pretty safe bet that the winner is just hoping she can be treated the way she would have if she'd gotten legal advice before making a huge mistake instead of after. The only evidence on her views about gambling that I'm aware of is that she apparently bought at least one lottery ticket. Anyone is free to speculate about her beliefs regarding the ethics of gambling, but since I'm not a moron I try to avoid leaping to unfounded conclusions.

New Jersey store clerk accused of stealing $1M lottery ticketReply
Music, While I wish your statement was 100% true.... There will be another one just like this person and probably pretty soon. Maybe not for the same amount, in the same area or state. But I would bet $1000 that within the next 60 days some clerk somewhere, will get caught putting the screws to some unsuspecting decent customer. Some people will never change when it comes to integrity or ethics.... Trust but verify .... just my 2 cents
