N.C. lottery fraud trial puts S.C. Lottery under microscopeNews Story
The federal trial of Kevin L. Geddings is probing as deeply into his pro-lottery work in South Carolina as it is into his activities leading up to his appointment last year to North Carolina's lottery commission.

Testimony and evidence show that creating a lottery in the Palmetto state

Former Texas Lottery Director Gary Grief indicted on charge related to $95M Lotto Texas jackpotReply
I am not understanding what he allegedly did either. Did he get a kickback? Did he order stores to stop everything, close to the public, and allow the printing of millions of tickets? How did he collaborate with this foreign group? How could he have stopped them? Where is the fraud? Wasn't this ticket paid? I agree about Texas being obsessed with this big group play.

Arizona lottery retailer employee sued after buying $12.8 million ticket knowing it was a winnerReply
Well those things rarely happen in precedent setting cases without counsel having participated in fraud, missing court ordered deadlines over and over and general outrageous conduct. I have seen it happen in two divorce cases where a friend and an acquaintance married bums and regretted it a few years later. Both husbands kept changing their Counsel every few months because they did not pay their prior attorneys and engaged in lying to the court about not being able to attend court hearings sinc

There is no winning formula for pick 3, so you're fine. Fraud would be fixing the game so your numbers get chosen on purpose.

Abraham Shakespeare moved Dee Dee Moore into his house? :OReply
I never thought that Abraham liked Dee Dee romantically. And he didn't put the money in her personal bank account, he put it in her LLC to keep it safe for him as he realized his lottery winnings dwindled fast and he wanted to keep his last couple of millions safe. She didn't tell him she was actually a failed businesswoman who actually had been in trouble for fraud before. He most likely wouldn't have trusted her with his last couple of millions had he known the real truth about her. Abraham re
