Ditto here in Canada, VWM.
We have some lotteries, usually run by hospitals, etc. that are Cash For Life. These winners get paid a certain amount every week/month, for a certain number of years. We also have scratch cards with the same concept. But most of our large lotteries pay out the winners in one lump sum. We just had two people win the Loto Max jackpot...which was over $54 million (I think). I'm pretty sure they both have ALL their money already.
Maybe in the U.S. some (or most) lotteries do it the way that Love2Win posted...but not here. And no idea about other countries.
Back on track...Max, when is the next instalment due? Are you open for suggestions? If so...I have one.
I'd love to hear your thoughts on webmasters who to this day, insist on promoting Virtual and/or rogue properties. And further, to include players who insist on playing at them. You must have some insight, especially on the player side...given how many complaints you deal with, that maybe we don't even hear about it in re: the rogues I mean. Do you get frustrated as well? Anyway, just a suggestion.
