Sounds like the Mississippi lottery is off to a good start. I might have to slip across the border from Louisiana to give it a try. They have some good scratchers so far.

The Mississippi Lottery has winning ticket scanners at the counter to check your tickets. All you have to do is scratch off the bar code on the bottom left of the scratcher ticket, and scan each individual ticket you buy, to see if you won anything. You don't even have to scratch off any numbers on the ticket, just the bar code, and scan it.

So I guess when MS comes online with PB and MM, the game matrices of both will increase with the addition of the new state...correct?

So after January...we can expect PB and MM to be BOTH over 315 million to 1....correct

Guess folks here never heard of French Lick.

Casinos were there before they became legal, now that they are French Lick has made a comeback.

Land Casinos In Indiana

Indiana casinos didn t exist in their current form until the 1990s. Since then, the overall gambling industry within the state has grown at a slow rate to include a number of crowd-pleasing options.

To be clear, most of these casinos are Riverboat Casinos, but the state did authorize one strictly land-based ca... [ More ]

Was looking at the Georgia Lottery financial report and saw where they average $1.8 million a day in scratch-off sales and only slightly higher than Mississippi's start-up. And really great considering Georgia's adult population is about three times more.

Wonder how much of the $9 million was spent by Alabama residence

No, it isn't. I wrote a physical letter to Mississippi lottery congratulating them on their lottery and suggested that after they get MM PB that they might consider on-line sales.

Huh?

Indiana got rid of that stupid, near sighted law that all of their casinos must be on water.

I was simply pointing out ragging on where another state (Indiana) builds their casinos is hypocritical when casino gambling is illegal in the state (Kentucky) where you live. Only you know why you brought up I... [ More ]

This is in response to Stack 47 saying I was being hypocritical to the MS lottery:

No, it isn't. I wrote a physical letter to Mississippi lottery congratulating them on their lottery and suggested that after they get MM PB that they might consider on-line sales. They wrote back thanking me for the nice letter. Beau Rivage, the Biloxi casino (MGM) was contacted by myself and another LP member and they will not offer lottery sales @ their casino sites. Had tried X2 for Borgata (AC=MGM) for... [ More ]

I thought you said you lived in Kentucky. If you do, isn't it rather hypocritical to rag on another state's casino laws when casino gambling is illegal in Kentucky

The Mississippi Lottery follow the United Kingdom's National Lottery, and given people the opportunity to subscribe online and pay by direct debit, from their bank account.

The UK didn't have an Unlawful Internet Gambling Act and their Justice Department isn't trying to overturn the previous JD's ruling on Internet gambling either. Maybe it's because the UK and Australia don't have the same opposition to gambling we have in the U.S., but slowly we are getting big brother off our back.

Oh... [ More ]

The British Lottery, one of the most successful, raising billions of British Pounds for community projects across the UK, offers players the convenience of paying by monthly direct debit.

Also small prizes are automatically credited to the same bank account, so you don't have to worry if you forget to check... [ More ]

Makes one wonder if the drugstores in Mississippi are selling as whole bunch of Lanacane and itching creams with all that scratching going on

Spoke with one of the 'regulars' @ the casino in S. Ind last night. I thought he lived in Memphis, said no, outside of Jackson, Mississippi. Then I said am so glad you guys finally got a lottery and he just smiled with a huge grin. Then said about the MM PB coming next month and another big grin.

We're all excited BTW for the brand new casino one of the major chains is building. Indiana got rid of that stupid, near sighted law that all of their casinos must be on water. One by one they w... [ More ]

....and to think that the Mississippi politicians were saying that the lottery would bring in....wait for it : $40 Mil THE FIRST YEAR. Well the players have turned that projection on it's head. As Little Richard once said Whoa, you make me scream like a white woman in church.

Congratulations to the Mississippi Lottery! Applause for allowing the winners to remain anonymous. This should help with the sales.

I bet the players of MM PB can't wait until the end of January and are traveling to neighboring States that offer the games.

The corporation says the largest prize awarded has been $15,000. It says most people who are collecting
