I heard Rebecca had to have surgery on her index finger because it was wore

out from pressing the repeat button on the computers so many times. (Haw,Haw,Haw.)

Now thats funny i don't care who you are.

Hey ridge runner who knows maybe they will drop 666 if marge gets in. Maybe even a quad on

cash 4. It would be funny if marge's 1st order of business was to toss Rebecca's RNG's into

the cumberland river. I would buy a front row ticket to see that lol.

It's not power play. You get a quick pick ticket worth $1.00 for each of the games you get coupons for and buy a ticket.

Really awesome to receive those coupons which have been only given out since Ms. DeFrancisco became CEO and innovated some brilliant marketing techniques. Coupons are one of those awesome concepts.

Just typing out loud here and wondering what kind of free play you get with the 'buy one get one free' offer? Can it be a PP or only a well shut my mouth! ?

Anyone notice since TIME'S cover story on all the states anticipating HUGE (like in the B s) budget deficits, there are confidence news stories from each state coming out boasting financial boon? The +220M in VA is not enough and if by chance it is there will still be a sucking sound from the sister states. Does the tail wag the dog... [ More ]

But who's gonna flip the No-Doubles Switch if Rebecca leaves? I don't know if the other lady will do that. The state could lose money. Not to mention the No-Triples and No-Quads Switches. That could put TN in a financial crisis.

We're on the horns of a dilemma.

We will swap CEO'S with GA any day. If you want Rebecca you can have her.

She is The Best CEO!

For anyone living in Georgia when you become a Georgia Lottery Players Club member (FREE just sign up on the Georgia Lottery site) you are periodically sent buy one get one free coupons for tickets. This only became a reality after Ms. DeFrancisco became CEO. She has also expanded the number of bonus draws for non winning scratchers.

DeFrancisco said the lottery reaped higher profits because while sales declined in a couple of instant games, those awards tend to hav... [ More ]

wow marge that seems a little snip y to say sales remained strong in drawing games where payouts tend to be less this just goes to show that the draws are fixed and you do have control over the payouts. thx i'll make sure my contributions are lower frm now on.

Georgia Lottery profits up in 2010

Lottery Post — Thu, 15 Jul 2010 01:21:12 GMT

Another good year for the Georgia Lottery meant more money for the state's pre-kindergarten and HOPE college scholarship programs, but it isn't enough to keep state officials from worrying about HOPE's future.

The Georgia Lottery Corp. announced Wednesday that profits increased again during the 2010 fiscal year providing a dozen consecutive years of growth.

As a result, the lottery increased its payments to the popular pre-k and HOPE programs. During the 2010 fiscal year, which ended June... [ More ]
