$75,000 California Lottery winner leaves with only $75Reply
This was a honest mistake. When the manger, called the California Lottery official, the lottery official said someone would come by to pick up the ticket. The manger when to the new media to try to find the real winner. I have to say he did all he could have done. There no ground to fraud here. My only question is this. Since the California Lottery officials used a top prize ticket to this game to try to entrap this station manager then that prize is no longer available for the real players of t

BOMBSHELL: MUSL employee might have rigged Hot Lotto computerized drawingReply
I always wondered why Tipton would even buy a ticket considering he could only cash the $100 prize and under without getting caught and it didn't matter if the ticket was a QP if Tipton knew he could manipulate the drawing and find someone to cash it. The real questions is Can the drawings be manipulated and even if Tipton didn't, there is still the possibility. Those who play lottery games with computer generated numbers should ask their state lottery officials what they are doing to prevent th

Bill would allow N.C. lottery winners to remain anonymousReply
Bad idea I want to know real people have won and not just some anonymous person. It could be anybody who won, but to make sure there is no fraud we need to know their names and see their faces. We dont need addresses or anything like that. I mean how do we know it's not lottery officials or their families who are winning all these prizes if it's anonymous? If you make it anonymous all we have is their word that they or their families are not winning and or even playing. Nah keep it public there

IRS scammed with losing lottery ticketsReply
If you won would you be curious what everybody's share of the prize is? It works exactly the same way with the losing tickets. Everybody has an interest that's proportional to their interest in the pool. If you knew the person was planning on using the tickets to commit tax fraud you're at least an accomplice, and possibly a co-conspirator.

How is this not a massive fraud by the Florida Lottery?Reply
Wow, Ron, thank you for reading my post and understanding what I was saying. Yes, something is amiss alright. They promoted this contest and sold as many $25 dollar tickets as they could with the initial wave of publicity, and then quietly altered the remaining prizes information with absolutely zero publicity. This lottery promotes itself as having integrity and being transparent , but reducing the prize pool and putting out inflated prize information to sell tickets is anything but demonstrati

Calif. man knew he won $1M but lost the lottery ticketReply
They know he bought the ticket, by way of the video. Since he came forward, why can't they wait until the day after the deadline, and if no one has come forward with a ticket to claim the prize, give it to him. Remember the case (in Texas?) where a lottery employee was in the video buying the ticket and someone else tried to claim the prize for him? Didn't they end up charging fraud? It all comes down to the greed of the people running the lottery.

Pay for tickets w/ credit card? NYC promotionsReply
Lots of credit card fraud in restaurants. All the major grocery store chains in my area sell lottery tickets, so no reason for me to go to a convenience store. The customer service desks are rarely busy, so I get in and out faster than I could at a convenience store also.

It's time the lottery needs to stop releasing a person name and picture when a big win is won!Reply
You sure did your homework there mikeintexas! Got some good points there for sure. Well, I still would prefer a choice- period. I am less concerned about lottery officials cashing in on old school ball drops with astronomical odds than I am with walking around town with giant $ sign on my back. Yeah, you could easily lay low for awhile, but I don't want be a recluse either. Now if we go all computerized drawings perhaps I may be a little more leery of fraud, however, if that fraud w

Georgia woman accused of scheme to steal lottery winningsReply
The burden of proof is much less for a grand jury and is usually used to see if there is enough evidence to charge somebody. The defendant has all the same Constitutional Rights regardless of the what is decided in the court of public opinion . You're probably 100% correct on what she should do, but I'm betting she will put up a fight, especially on Welfare fraud.
