Fraud and fraud
Lottery, like any other type of gambling, susceptible to fraud, despite the high degree of care, declared by the organizers. There are numerous lottery scams .
Some types of online prepaid scams are lottery-based. Scam starts with spam, Congratulations to the recipient on a recent lottery win. The email explains, that in order to free up funds, the recipient of the email must part with a certain amount (in the form of taxes / fees) according to the rules, otherwise there is a risk of confiscation.
Another form of fraud involves the sale of "systems", whose purpose – increase the player's chances of picking winning numbers in the lottery. These scams are usually based on a customer misunderstanding (maybe, and the seller) probability and random numbers. However, the sale of these systems or software is legal, since they mention, that the product cannot guarantee a win, not to mention the jackpot.
There have also been several cases, when cashiers in lottery shops tried to lure their winnings from customers. In some places, the buyer must hand over the lottery ticket to the cashier, to determine, how much did they win, or, if they won at all, the cashier then scans the ticket, to define one or both. In those cases, when the client does not see or hears a signal about the scan results, some cashiers took the opportunity to declare, that the ticket is a loser or that it costs much less, what he is, and offer to "throw it out". “or secretly replace it with another ticket. Then the cashier puts the ticket in his pocket and takes it as his.
In the BBC series "Real vanity" was the lottery variant is shown, in which a group of scammers pretended to be, what won the lottery, but they were prevented from taking the prize, since man, who wrote the name on the back of the ticket, presumably absent. countries on this day. They managed to convince a stranger to deposit money as collateral, to split the prize pool.
In some cases, the lottery itself has been compromised by fraudsters. 1980 Pennsylvania lottery scandal involved weighing balls in . In a fraud scandal Hot Lotto в random number generator Hot Lotto code has been added, allowing a cheater to predict winning numbers on certain days of the year.
IN 2003 year Canadian geological statistician Mohan Srivastava discovered non-random patterns in the tickets "tic-tac-toe", sold by the Lottery and Gaming Corporation of Ontario . Tic-tac-toe was taken off the shelves and became the first game, ever remembered by OLG.
Each lottery syndicate has a set of rules, and each participant must fulfill them.
- Syndicate members can only be of legal age, that is, older 18 years If a person has not reached the specified age mark, then not only the syndicates will not deal with him, but also organizers of lottery games, since in almost every lottery, reaching the age of majority is a prerequisite.
- A citizen of any country has the right to become a member of the pool. The main requirement is the recognition of the syndicate rules., where does the player live, become a member of the online pool, does not matter at all. The only exception is joining the pool., whose rules require community. Talking about offline pools (they are made up of friends, relatives, acquaintances), then representatives of this group are located in the same country by default.
- Everyone is accepted into the pool individually. This rule mainly applies to offline syndicates.. There, the candidacy of each future member is considered by the group and a mutual decision is made whether to accept the player into the syndicate or not.. Besides, additional membership fee may be required, but this is not in all syndicates.
-
Conscientiousness and activity are the main criteria for selecting participants. These two characteristics mean:
- payment of fees and purchase of tickets at clearly indicated times;
- participation in group discussion and formation of a game strategy;
- the ability to find compromise solutions and be open to communication;
- control of the game process and transfer of information as needed to other members of the syndicate;
- ability to unite a group, attract new members.
- Contract. Joining a syndicate, each participant must carefully read the rules of the game group, take them and stick to them as much as possible.
- Group - a single organism. All strategies and tactics of the game are coordinated in a reciprocal order before the game. Self-manipulation, whatever they are, prohibited. When joining a lottery syndicate, this should always be remembered., so as not to run into a misunderstanding of the group.
- Failure to pay the contribution is punishable by exclusion from the pool or a fine. There are frequent cases, when one of the lottery syndicate members stops paying the membership fee on a regular basis. There can be a lot of reasons for this - from problems at work to a simple loss of interest in the game.. If such a participant does not renew payments within 90 days, then it is excluded by agreement of all players in the pool. Another scenario for unscrupulous members of the syndicate is the application of penalties for failure to pay the membership fee on time.
- Other syndicate rules. All the rules can be attributed to this point., that arise inside the pool. Since the syndicate is a self-governing unit, then the rules are created by the participants themselves. There are frequent cases, when the pool rules clearly state, that only a person of a certain gender or profession can become a member of a game group. Syndicates are also common, which rules indicate, that the participants play only, eg, in the lottery of Australia and no other game options simply cannot exist.
Payout of prizes
Winnings (in USA) not necessarily paid in a lump sum , contrary to the expectations of many lottery participants. In some countries, mainly in the USA, the winner can choose between an annuity payment and a lump sum. One-time payment ( cash or lump sum payment ) represents the "smaller" amount, than announced (annuity) jackpot, even before applying any deductions, to which the prize is subject. While withholdings vary by jurisdiction and how winnings are invested, supposed, what's the winner, chooses a lump sum, expects to receive 13 of the advertised jackpot at the end of the tax year. In this way, jackpot winner 100000000 US dollars, who will pick cash, can count on a net amount of 33 333 333,33 USD after filing tax documents for the year, in which the jackpot was won.
Lottery annuities often range from 20 to 30 years. Some lotteries in the USA, especially those, which offer a "lifetime" prize, don't offer a lump sum option. According to some experts, it is better to choose an annuity, than a lump sum, especially those, who have no investment experience.
In some online lotteries, the annual payout is only 25000 dollars, and in the last year, a one-time payment is paid . This type of installment payment is often done by investing in securities, provided by the state. Online lotteries pay winners through their insurance . However, many winners choose the lump sum, as they think, that they can get a higher rate of return on their investment elsewhere.
In some countries, lottery winnings are not subject to personal income tax , therefore, tax implications should not be considered when choosing a payment method. In France, Canada, Australia, Germany, Ireland, Italy, New Zealand, Finland and the UK all prizes are immediately paid in a lump sum and are tax-free to the winner. In Liechtenstein, all winnings are tax-free, and the winner can choose to receive a lump sum or annuity in relation to the jackpot prizes.
In the United States, federal courts have consistently asserted, that the lump sum, received from third parties in exchange for rights to lottery annuities, are not capital assets for tax purposes. Rather, the lump sum is subject to normal income tax deductible.
Some people hire a third party, to cash out a lottery ticket. This can be done for, to avoid paying income tax, to hide the gain from alimony or money laundering, obtained from illegal activities; some jurisdictions investigate too frequent "winnings" and may freeze payments, to prevent these abuses.
In jurisdictions, where public disclosure is required for winners, to claim your prizes, some winners may hire an attorney, to create a blind trust for them, so they can claim their prize and remain anonymous. This is for, so that winners can avoid being scammed, jealousy and other flaws, that can occur when winning a lottery jackpot.
