what would happen if an illegal alien played the lottery and won? lets say the jackpot is over 150 mil. all the money of the legals going straight to a guy who hopped a fence. will a liberal government managing the lottery allow him to keep it, or will it continue the game until a legal resident wins? what if hugo chavez were to spend 1$ on an american lottery ticket and won over 150 mil?

There have been illegals who have won a car in I think it was Chicago and because they didn't have a Social Security Number they were not able to collect the prize...they tried suing the company, but I don't think anything came from it because they still didn't have a SSN. I think it is stupid that they EXPECT everything in the US that citizens have, when they have blatantly spit on the US by not going home and coming here the LEGAL way.

Lotteries are a managed game with pay outs regardless of who wins .
The state automatically collects its cut and until the lottery tickets read for legal residents of the United States nothing will change .
Seeing as how in the southwest millions of Illegals play the lottery it would not make sense to forbid illegals to play .
People who pray also tend to waste money on the lottery and illegals pray like hell all the time .

If it were up to me, I'd get a job to head the CA Lottery commission. My rules would be:
American Citizens - 100% of the prizes won
Green Card Holders/Legalized citizens/Visa Holders - 100% of the prizes won
Illegal Immigrants with no documentation - Get their money back that was spent on the winning ticket, no cash prize, a special limousine escort back across the border and deportation
Hugo Chavez wins the lottery - Full Saddam Hussein treatment when he goes to Sacramento, CA to claim his winnings, much like an government sting when arresting war criminals and terrorists

How is our government liberal? Bush is still in office and has his hands around the nuts of the entire Congress with his abuse of veto power.
That said, there isn't (nor has there ever been) any law against an illegal alien winning the lottery. Instead of blaming liberals, which we all know is ridiculous since liberals have not always been the controlling party, why not just petition to have a law put in place?

considering how our country treats them, they will probably keep it. Have you heard of 3 border patrol officers who stopped a car full of illegals smuggling drugs? (2 officers) and the illegals ran, the officers shot, but missed. Now those heroes are in jail for shooting at the illegal drug traffickers and the illegals are suing the officers. The third officer also tried to stop the illegals from entering the US, who in both of these cases did not stop even though the officers identified themselves and did everything by the book. The third hero is also in jail, while the illegals were given a chance to escape. So, according to this horrible misjustice, the illegals have more rights in America than we, the citizens or even a police offices who are trying to protect us and out children from drugs and crime do.

It would expose them to Big Brother, and they would be deported with a 10-year bar attached. However, with that kind of money, even after Uncle Sam took his cut, they can emigrate to Argentina or Spain or anywhere else as an investor. Only the U.S. is a no go. That said, knowing that the richest man alive on this planet lives in Mexico, they probably would move back to the nicest part of their own country and live la dolce vita.

It's just like any other lottery, unless otherwise stated in the rules: anyone can play and win. Remember the Irish Sweepstakes? My family (in Pennsylvania) used to play all the time :-)

Believe me an illegal will find a way to get that money legally. He has a legal friend somewhere that will claim the money. And they will split it up. I think that it is wrong and all, but it will happen that way.

WHEN THEY COME TO COLLECT, ARREST THEIR ASSES AND PUT THEM IN JAIL, THEN RETURN THE MONEY TO TAXPAYERS TO COMPENSATE FOR WHAT THEY COST US!
MAKE IT ILLEGAL TO LET ILLEGALS PLAY THE LOTTERY!
