Pennsylvania Lottery releases its own Cash Pop draw gameReply
I had another interaction with Cash Pop in Pennsylvania yesterday. I played a mix of Match6, Powerball, P3 and P4 on a vending machine. I fed my slips in and while it was cranking my tickets out, the screen pops up and says my free ticket had been generated. I didn't know I had a free ticket coming. When I sorted through the tickets after I got home, there was a Cash Pop ticket among them. I had played $4 in P3 and apparently playing a P3 generates a chance you'll get a free Cash Pop QP. Wha

MUSL to launch "X's and O's," a new multi-state Powerball NFL gameReply
The Powerball Group underwent a massive, nationwide research study in preparation for X's and O's, which revealed that adults aged 18-34 would be more interested in playing Powerball if the brand aligned with the NFL, according to Finks For $12 I'm not interested and I am not into sports or the NFL personally. Why do they need an app, just check numbers? I was hoping ALL state lotteries in America would allow ticket buying through an app or online as they do in the UK, Australia, Europe, an

$1.5 BILLION: Massive Powerball jackpot fuels rush for ticketsReply
Last night hit cash out button on the Historic Racing Machine for $1903. Slots are illegal in KY, so they 'skirt' the law by using altered slot machines to reflect old horse races. Low bets with a jackpot win of $600 and above are subject to Federal and State taxes and machine shuts off until reset after payout. However if you bet 'high' jackpots aren't taxed. A guy yesterday doing $100 bets won $5200 and $8500 and slot attendant said there was one other too. None of them taxable. One featur

Arizona Lottery bans Fast Play bulk ticket purchasesReply
Fast Plays are Scratcher-like games (some are duplicates of scratcher games) except instead of card, the play ticket is generated on the fly by the kiosk and replaces the play card. This opens up a number of security vulnerabilities in my mind if you have physical access to hack and reverse engineer a machine. I think they are putting too much confidence in a TPM chip securing the boot sequence. Some Fast Plays have progressive jackpots (9 of 36 games currently). A person can calculate the p

New Jersey resident says no thanks to road rage, wins $600,000 lottery prize insteadReply
Great story from New Jersey! Now onto me. This morning taking my $21 Mega Millions to cash in machine. I looked down and it said that machine had a $15 credit....so I played it. Never cashed the MM ticket for more. One of the employees was out emptying many trash cans in the gas area. She came up to me and said a lady was playing and 'would be right back'. Well she asked me to leave the $15 @ register. I waited 1/2 hour for her. Asked Tabitha if she was working tomorrow and if lady neve
