If you like it you probably win at it occasionally. That's cool. For some reason this thread reminds me of something shrill a Brit secretary of something or other said during the Watergate fiasco. Those Yanks think they've got problems with Watergate..... But we've got SEX in high places! I covered a lot of ground over there looking for a high place. Never found one.Jack

Well I thought about it and I have to say I'm not going to stop buying them. I love to play the instant games because they are fun. I just hope this wasn't true and let it rest until proven. I see no hard evidence that the TN lottery is messing with the games. I mean we have ball drawings for crying out loud.

God knows theres enough bugs here for all 50 states!!!...LOLShawnintennessee:The residents of every State I've ever lived in believed their own State Governments were the Daddy Longlegs of corruption. But I'd bet the worst of them would appear a paragon of virtue compared to the cleanest, most well-lighted tribal government. The US Constitution ceases to have any meaning at the Rez boundaries. And the most corrupt tribal government probably can't compete with the cleanest state government in M... [ More ]

Tnplayer:The flag was already up. If you allow it to influence whether you buy TN scratchers, the person succeeded with the purpose of the thread. If you don't, he/she didn't. Maybe the person did you a favor if it's truth. Probably didn't hurt you much if it was fiction.I'd say this was a major event in the life of the person who began the thread, if the story is true, but fairly insignificant in the lives of everyone else. Just one more bug on the windshield.Jack

Well I guess annonom didn't have much to say after this. Kinda raises a flag whether or not it was true or not. You would have thought he or she would have answered the questions and defended his accusations.

I'd say empassioned1 is saying he/she's angry if what the person who began this tread claims happened is true. Anyone who buys scratchers in TN would be angry if a protracted conspiracy to defraud the people of TN was allowed to continue because the person who had the evidence to stop it chose to profit by it instead of going to the authorities with the goods.The alternative anger for TN players is indignation, if the claims are untrue and the person who began the thread is lying in an attempt...

Without seeing this persons evidence i lean more towards him/her being someone who doesn't want the lottery in tenn or someone who lost a lot of money on it and is now out for revenge. If the facts are real and his/her intentions are real, they would have brought it out some other way then to post some note here. POST THE FACTS . Let's face it! A majority of us here can't even play Tenn Scratcher's because we don't live there. Until the facts are verified i wouldn't worry bout it. Tenn lottery... [ More ]

I never post but this made me think.i always tell my friends never play scratches or megamil in an impoverished areas because when somebody wins its always in the middle class area or rich area and this does not suprise me. come to think of it why there are not many jackpot winners in the metro areas.

I say it's very hard or very dumb to talk about this at a public place. Someone can easily hear this. In my opinion that didn't happen. If they were doin this they wouldn't take the chance for others to find out.

I don't post very often, however this topic made me think, could this be happening, I'm sure to some degree yes. My friend has a store and I help out with the lottery stuff quite a bit, they had a 100,000.00 winner on the 5.00 jackpot ticket, and I know the people who were lucky enough to purchase it, I also know that when we order new scratch offs they can sit in the stock room a very long time before being placed outside, he never lets a ticket run out completley before ordering more, and the...

Worthless, I should have said, except as a match to light one hell of a brushfire scandal in Tennessee in the hands of some wannabe Woodward/Burnstone who works for one of those rare media outlets that isn't in bed with the bad guys.Truth is, it's probably one of those things a person's just better off not knowing, except by not buying scratchers in TN (or anywhere else). You can't gain anything by trying to do your civic duty, but you can lose one heluva lot. You don't have to walk through th... [ More ]

Problem is what you be breaking the law here?.... After reading what the person's said several more times, I'm more inclined to believe it than I was in the beginning. But the law's already been broken. This person's obviously culpable at one level or another or he/she would have taken the evidence to the authorities instead of being bought off. There's further evidence of that in the fact the person was close enough to things to be able to accumulate the evidence so's to be able to extort a f... [ More ]

Problem is what you be breaking the law here?....Least penalty for commiting a crime in Tennessee ranges from probation. If your lucky. Or up to 11 months 29 days in county lock up. If you commited a felony crime in Tennessee by Tennessee Code Annutated. They can hold you in the county lock up here for up to 8 years!!!And they always have a code for what youve done... Even if you havent done anything.

I was forced to retire with a very handsome severance (hush money) package and left alone. I see too many people wasting their hard earned $$ on these stupid tickets and I sit here knowing they will NEVER, EVER win. Any scratch ticket over 1000.00 is monitored VERY closely as to what county, store and time it is place out for sale. By then, the corrupt individuals have their pawns in order to buy the winner. I have ALOT of information. I will mail it to you - I'm leaving anyway. Just lea... [ More ]

Well I don't know. TN needs to make a security section on their Web Page. I love the fact the lottery was voted in to TN. I wonder if this goes all the way up to Rebecca Paul or if it is just some backstabbing VP's.(IF THIS IS TRUE) I feel be trade if this is so. I sure hope it isn't. It's hard to believe a STATE Lottery would do something like this to their loyal customers. I don't really know if they would chance this or not.

Annonom,If you did post a previous thread like this one, I would not have (and did not) delete it. Maybe you either lost track of where it was, or posted it on some other site. (I am not aware of any other sites but I'm leaving open the possibility that they exist.)Anyway, I agree with Jack that you should alert the FBI, perhaps with an anonymous package containing the evidence. (Deep Throat Jr.? No, I guess you'd have to be in the FBI to be a Deep Throat.) Obviously, keep the original (an... [ More ]

I think it's unfair for the Tennesse lottery for someone with one post to come in and slam them. It's happened before though so that adds to the fuel. The problem is when someone knows where the winners will be. Kind of takes any sense of randomness out of the game. With scratch tickets these problems are easy to happen. It's a prime example of why states need to have webcast or televised drawings with balls. It's far too easy for people to mess with drawings when they are held in secret or usin... [ More ]

I thought TN's were too. The odds are pretty good and the prizes I've won are ok. BUT if this is true I wouldn't play because it's all unfair.

FL Scratch-Offs are some of the best in the nation. Every ticket is 1 in 4 or better in overall odds (usually better).

Rip Snorter — Wed, 15 Jun 2005 01:05:10 GMT

Lesssssseee. Sounds as though you're saying you have documents supporting your claim. Since those scratchers are issued by State Government, since the State is the offender,the enforcement authority is probably the FBI.Posting a claim of that sort here will alert a few people, but if you feel that much responsibility you probably ought to present your statement, along with copies of your evidence, to the proper authorities. Ought to do so whether you feel any responsibility, or not.I'd guess... [ More ]

My aunt won $500 twice off jumbo bucks before. I think anything under $1000 is fair. It's just the big money that's not. Indiana also knows where all their winners go and GA does too. That's not fair at all! What does it matter the store and the area the ticket is bought. It should be random with no one knowing where the tickets go

Tennessee Lottery - ALERT

Annonom — Tue, 14 Jun 2005 23:39:35 GMT

I have attempted to alert this board numerous times in the past, but for whatever reason, it never gets posted. This will be my very last attempt because I have relocated to another state in the mid-west effective 6-17-05. A little background about me: I was recently retired from over 30 years with the state government of Tennessee. I was informed and let in on something in which I firmly disagreed with, hence, my retirement and due to physical and financial threats, my decision to move to
