I wish more of the stores in TN would do this. There are a lot of people who have no idea of what is going on with the lottery because they are not regular players. They just here about some friend of a friend who won such and such amount of money on the lottery and just want to try their luck. The thing is that friend of a friend who had won that money isn't playing the lottery like they used to because they know what has happened with it.

I was in store this afternoon educating those pick 3 players.

One of our regulars who was dropping $50 or more per day on both draws was in there. He, too, was convincing others that they might as well save their money and go to GA or KY and play multiple draws for they would have a better chance.

I have printed the news about the lottery and made copies to pass out.

I can only do so much, but one thing for sure, this little town will soon know to stay away from TN lottery on pick3, pi... [ More ]

Unfortunately negative, defeatist thinking is precisely what they want to hear.

Bet they've been reading these posts and high fived one another.

,it'll be interesting to see how this all ends.unfortunately i think it already has.they'll go through the motions.they'll delay it over and over until memories are faded.then next thing you know it'll slip away and won't anyone notice.i think the writing is on the wall.the state is simply not going to swallow its pride and admit to all kinds of serious wrongdoings because its embarrasing for quite a lot of people.the bigwigs at the top will make sure the threat is detoured on this thing and it...

Great metaphor, Jade!

Also bet their legal team instructed them to delay, delay, delay, outta sight outta mind. Counting on players forgetting about being bulldozed flat ..... then the lottery can loads of tickets for Holiday stocking stuffers and make themselves superheros to politicians. It's all about the children isn't it

I'm going to add this in as food for thought; apply it as you wish.

When a crime is committed you don't have the potential suspect or suspects investigate the crime they committed.

Mike

Missouri is not that far away from you. Take Highway 51 north to Dyersburg. Take the I55-exit to Missouri. There is a lotto site just two miles once you get over the River.

Enjoy the ride.
