Lottery Winners Lose??
144880
Hopefully they'll be wise with their newfound wealth and can enjoy it for the rest of their lives. I read that a couple of them are immigrants from Vietnam and are going to better the lives of family members back home.\n\nUnderstand that after taxes, each will get $15 million - now, I *would* LOVE to have that "problem," as over a period of 30 years, that's still $500,000 per year. They should be fine if they're smart, even though it's a seemingly infinite amount of money.\n\nIt's the others around them who will make them miserable: jealous co-workers, "long-lost kin," sleazy investors, etc. The winners don't owe anyone a darn thing, but outsiders will try to make them feel as though they do.

I dont think so.\nhttp://www.national-lottery.co.uk/\n\nWe have had several infamous incidents of criminals winning the lottery. I believe the Government was considering changing the law to prevent criminal in jail from profiting but not sure if this ever happened.

Scam.... Same as email scams... If you didn't enter a lotto you can't win anything. It's that simple.

Unfortunately, the lottery is only open to citizens from countries where there are low rates of migration to the US, to promote diversity. Citizens of the UK, Mexico, India and China, to name a few are not eligible.\n\nIt would have been great if you could join though, as most of you guys already speak better English than we do. LOL!

Usually, its about the crappy people at work but today I would like\nto vent about the fact that I play the lottery twice a week since it \nstarted up  and I probably get 4 #s as a win 2- 3 times a year, I \ndo not break even . I never hear of anyone winning .Why ? and\nWhy can't I hit it big, just once ? What does the state of Ct do \nwith all that money ?

Scam, scam, scam.  I got the same thing.  Look up Lotto scams on the net and look up their name.  You'll see.  Sorry, I know it's a bummer.

Did you participated in the lottery?  If not, how could you be a winner?

You need to realize that thousands, if not millions of people are participating in what amounts to a big game.  Not to discount the skill of the people involved, but with that many people, some are bound to get lucky and hit the jackpot, even if they pick completely at random.  I am sure that for everyone who doubled their bankroll, there are a lot more who lost everything.  Since it is all play money, there is no incentive not to make unsound but potentially profitable moves.  In fact, that is about the only way you can win at this sort of game.   \n\nSo don't take the luck of a few as evidence of what can be accomplished under normal circumstance.

It depends on which lottery, but typically they have to publish the odds.  Typical odds for a six ball game are 1 in 7.1 million. The odds of drowning in your bathtub are about 1 in 700,000.  So you are ten times more likely to drown in your tub than to win the lottery.\n\nParadoxically, winning doesn't change your odds of winning again. So if you buy a ticket, your odds of winning are say 1 in 7 million, and if you win, and buy another ticket the next day, your odds off winning with that ticket are the same, assuming the game is the same.\n\nBut save your dollar.

I have had a few friends who have applied for this lottery, a few of them got their visas more easily because of it. I'll keep my fingers crossed for you & your family to win!\n\nGood luck!

Its a scam!\nLotterys work like this:\n1)10,000 people pay 1 dollar/euro/pound/yen....etc\nThe lottery company now has 10,000\n\n2) the lottery company holds a draw and gives out 7,000 in winnings (and keeps the profit 3,000)\n\nScams work like this:\n-1)nobody pays money (there is no money to win)\n\n0)a scammer sends out 10,000 spam emails to tell people they have won a lottery they havn't entered.(they pretend they work for real lottery websites)\n\n2)The Scammer asks for your Personal details (be prepared! your inbox is going to be full of emails asking for you personally...and dont get me started on what they are gonna do with your Bank details!)\n\n3)The scammer tells you that you have to pay fees before you can accept the "winnings" (and NO,you cant pay out of the winnings! they dont exist!....silly maga)\n\n4)The scammer manages to con 3 people out of 1000 and gives all his profits to a charity for orphaned goats (he dosn't really...he keeps it ;) )\n\n5)Your inbox gets more mails than help@microsoft.com\nEverything from "You have won anotther sooperdooperlottry" to    "CHAN U B A NEXT OF KIN" to "Please join our company,cash our checks,send us the money until your bank realises you are laundering money for us?)\n\nThe moral of the story is...If it sounds too good to be true... It probably is

There is no "American Lottery."  Any email you get about anything like that is a scam.  In America, various states have lotteries, but there is no "American Lottery."\n\n"A lottery is nothing but a tax on the mathematically challenged." --Anonymous
