Skippy, it's not at all obvious to me why they need my SS#. Nobody asks for my SS# if I go to the window to make a bet at the track. If I got a huge payoff, THEN they could ask for my SS#.

Also, it's not just the SS# that bothers me. Why do they ALSO need my mother's maiden name AND a credit card WITH the extra cc security code? I'm surprised they didn't ask for a dental imprint.
