2026 lottery headlines you hope to seeReply
Yes. Claim an ongoing investigation for 4 years. Lol Oldest trick in the book. Ghislane was sentenced in 2022. Yet the Trump Administration was expected to advertise and bid a contract with a vendor to set up an online searchable database, hire many new attorneys to review the documents and redact sensitive info in millions of documents in a year. And have a second higher level of review. You do know this process is not handled in house with a DOJ paralegal in the basement doing this work???

New Company managing Ohio Lottery

Arizona lottery retailer employee sued after buying $12.8 million ticket knowing it was a winnerReply
Some great case law will be made one way or another in this matter. I assume these stores are like a franchise but if the contract is silent on the issue, it may be split between Citcle K and the store manager (owner?). The Circle k website says it uses a hybrid model for the stores so this may control the outcome along with what has been the standard practice for leftover tickets. Update: It looks like individual stores are required to pay for unsold tickets so the individual store owner mi

DC 5 Lottery needs to be audited immediately. The same thing that happened to Tennessee in 2007
This was bought to my attention from jimjwright regarding my prior post of DC Pick 5 1-200 million odds As of right now Dc 5 has played all single digits 36 times in a row. Not 1 duplicate digit has been played in the 36 draws. Duplicate digits make up roughly 70% of the numbers. Mathematically this is impossible and seems to be what happened to pick 3 and Pick 4 in Tennessee in 2007 Tenn. Lottery audit: players spent $2 million on worthless tickets $2M in tickets un

Arizona lottery retailer employee sued after buying $12.8 million ticket knowing it was a winnerReply
it was the first time a big winner was amongst the rejected pile. I think I remember a similar story in the past, but it's not a good enough memory to be very confident. Memory aside, probability suggest that it would he been for a smaller amount prize. I'm obviously not a lawyer but it's pretty obvious that the ticket belongs to the store. It was unsold at the time of the draw therefore the store had to buy it. I agree, but primarily for a different reason.According to the firs

Circle K asks judge to delay expiration date for $12.8 million Arizona Lottery jackpot amid disputeReply
Is it even possible that the judge has the authority to ... What does authority mean? Even a town justice has extremely broad authority until a higher court (or the state board of judicial conduct) steps in. The judge can certainly order the lottery to extend the claim period but the lottery can appeal and potentially have a higher court allow them to follow their usual rules almost as soon as the ink is dry on the lower court's order. I doubt the lottery has the ability to extend the claim
