lolThat reminds me. I had my 3rd dream of winning a jackpot before I woke today. This time I saw it's specifically NY Lotto. In the dream, I'm in my local store where I had purchased the tickets. I'm circling the winning numbers one by one by one... getting more and more excited, until I see I have circled all 6 winning numbers in the same line. I look in front of me and a man is looking at me expressionless. Is he wondering I won something and wants to rob me, or is it just a glance? Moments la... [ More ]

O.K. So it's not the Lottery's fault that the payout isn't so good, it's the state legistlature. Well, I guess we need to direct our complaints to the state congress people from now on.

A friend from Lockport, NY questioned the New York Lottery folks if they would start the Take Five bonus play permanently. He and I did pretty good with it in the past. Here is the Lottery Commissions reply: Thank you for your e-mail and we're glad you enjoy our Take Five bonus promotions.The funds for bonus payouts to customers on promotions come directlyfrom reserve funds funded by unclaimed prize monies; in other words,customer money goes back to customers.
