Is it for poor people only or can it be a fun hobby for the lower-middle and middle class?

I usually buy a couple tickets when jackpots get up over $100 mill. Somebody has to win, might as well be me.
 
Better than sports gambling, but still frowned upon in certain circles. I have no problem with it.
 
No winner. Next drawing worth 2 billion.

Wrong! Shows what you know about old people. Chipotle keeps you "regular." You ever been to the Varsity in Atlanta? It's loaded with senior citizens eating chili dogs.
 
Is there a legit way to claim your prize and remain anonymous?

No bullshit, id rather not win the jackpot than have everyone in the country know that i won.

I believe that the law varies by state. In some states you are required to identify yourself publicly and in others you may remain anonymous.

I was absent the day they taught law in law school, so I'll defer to the newsgroup's legal counsel on this matter.
 
My wife informed me last night that she actually bought some tickets. For the first time in a decade or so, I felt like a 99%er.

Just spitballing here, but couldn't you just form an LLC and have the LLC buy the tickets/receive the winnings? Seems like there should be creative ways around this.

I think I would rather win the 4 and the powerball and remain anonymous. Take a cool million, I could be a 2 comma guy like adp98.

That's a great idea. Go through the cost and trouble of setting up a legal entity, applying for a tax ID number, and filing tax returns on an ongoing basis, on the off chance that you might win.
 
Looks like Shady, D jax, mathis, maclin have last laugh

Think you can do that after you win, but before you notify the lottery that you have a winning ticket..

But what's the point? Privacy? All you have to do is search online with the Secretary of State to find out how an LLC is registered (see: North Carolina, Greensboro).
 
Last night I was at a place and a bunch of guys got together and bought a few hundred tickets. I immediately thought of Joe Merc thinking they were trash. NBN, you still couldn't be me.
 
Yesterday, my brother texted me this:

"My nutty friend Bo---- has sent emails to everyone he knows saying 'thanks for letting me in on the powerball tickets you bought,' figuring that is a better way to 'play" the lottery.'"

Sounds like a straight CoP'er all the way.
 
How much would you have to donate to Villanova for a new arena to the point where they couldn't afford to not get something done? $50 mil?
 
It would be nice for someone on here to win and start a thread, "So I won the stupid powerball".

My girlfriend and I cracked and bought a ticket today: 4 6 10 24 60 PB 16. Party @ Sligos for the Butler game.

About a decade ago one day when I was in court there was a group of about 15 people there on a case regarding whether a winning lottery ticket had been brought as a group or one guy had bought it for himself. They were there on a motion to allow some of the proceeds to be released so people could buy Christmas presents.
