Numerous State Lottery holdoutsReply
I know Kentucky Lottery does manipulate their numbers based on the numbers played. They pay out the least amount possible based on the numbers drawn The computer that generates the numbers is an algorithm and it is AI, so it learns patterns. Many people who have played the same numbers for years have noticed their numbers no longer hit, even though the numbers did hit before. It is certainly fraud, but in the new age of AI, the legislation has not caught up to the technology. They will eventuall

Numbers submitting Cutoff TimeReply
I agree, they hold on to LOTS OF PEOPLES money because when you add it all up, all those peoples money is a ton of bucks that the banks are making interest on. I call BS on them for doing it, but The Fed's are letting 'em get away with it because there are no laws prohibiting banks from doing it. I guess I could write my Congressman and tell him I want legislation passed to stop banks from doing this shady practice of theirs, but my pockets aren't as deep as the banking industry's lobby so I

Oregon lottery winners can now remain anonymousReply
Knowing a million-dollar winner in Florida and how easy it was to locate him through searching the county Tax Appraiser's database, I'm glad to see another state acknowledge that winning a jackpot is both a blessing and a curse. The vultures started landing on my friend's doorstep in no time flat. Florida allows winners to remain anonymous for only 90 days. Just long enough to pack up and leave your friends and neighbors and start over again somewhere far, far away. A hefty price to pay for

Lawyer representing $83.5 million Lotto Texas jackpot winner warns of additional investigationsReply
The Senate hearings are just hearings. The Texas Senate cannot block a lottery payment, unless they did so through legislation that is passed and signed into law by the governor. Anything they want prosecuted would be referred to the Texas Department of Criminal Justice. As far as the actual investigation blocking the payment of this jackpot, that is being conducted by the Texas Rangers, as I previously mentioned. The Rangers have released no information at all about their investigation, oth
