a better wayReply
About once a week I get an email saying my yahoo email address was assigned the winning lotto numbers in the UK, Australian, Euro, Canadian, Nigeria, or North Pole lotteries. These are usually secondary prizes ranging from $500K to a couple million. I also get emails from bankers or the widows of the former finance ministers of some war torn countries who are offering me thousands for using my US bank account to transfer the funds. I don't know for a fact that everyone of these are scams but I'm

Record powerball lottery winner reflects on sad lifeReply
Mr. Sense had been with us for many years. No one knows for sure how old he was since his birth records were long ago lost in bureaucratic red tape. He will be remembered as having cultivated such value lessons as knowing when to come in out of the rain, why the early bird gets the worm and that life isn't always fair. Common Sense lived by simple, sound financial policies (don't spend more than you earn) and reliable Parenting strategies (adults, not kids, are in charge). His heal

Lottery dream shattered for N.C. coupleReply
Is this an alternate reality? You gotta be kidding me. There is a barcode on the back of the ticket that is scannable ANYWHERE (in the state played). As a matter of coincidence I walked in behind a 1 million dollar scratcher winner going to play my numbers Wednesday night. How did we know? Just like every scratchey winner the clerk scrathes off to reveal the number code, which they key and then scan the barcode into the terminal and it verifies the prize with a print out. The print out said

US House votes to kill Internet gamblingReply
There are petitions for recall for most elected officials.... senators and congressmen .... state legislators an locals.... appointed ones such as Federal Judges have to be impeached. Most Executive Branch appointees have to be fired by someone. If they're low enough on the totem pole to qualify as Civil Servants they're easier to kick upstairs or send to Nowheresville than to fire. For what all that's worth. It ain't happening, and it ain't going to happen. A grandstanding politician w

N.C. legislators wary of retribution by lottery opponentsNews Story
If polls show over and over that two-thirds of North Carolinians support a state lottery, then why haven't legislators already adopted one?It is because what polls don't show is the intensity with which opponents fight a lottery and the fear that that prompts in some legislators - particularly those from swing districts. They're the people who will come after you, said Rep. Dewey Hill, D-Columbus, who recently switched his position to support a lottery. They will remember, and they'll come aft
