Pa. Gov. defends lottery privatization explorationNews Story
If privatizing the Pennsylvania Lottery's management isn't the answer to ensuring reliable and predictable funding for programs for older Pennsylvanians, what is?

Wisconsin lottery auditors don't like branded scratch gamesNews Story
The Wisconsin Lottery is raking in record profits and that in turn benefits taxpayers. That was a key selling point when the lottery was approved, that some of the gambling sales would go to reduce property taxes. But state auditors think taxpayers could benefit even more. If you have an itch to play the lottery, the Wisconsin Lottery has a dizzying array of games to choose from. But the state's audit bureau says games requiring a licensing fee are not a good gamble for the state. Th

Major Lottery Post security upgrade
OK, so today Lottery Post had a big security upgrade. It is something I have literally been working on for months, and today I finally made the cutover to the new security system.

what is the most you ever won on a daily 3 pick game?Reply
Stack47, Knowing math and knowing how to apply the math are two different things and based on your record on LP, you don't know how to apply the math. Making a statement like this does not make it true. My technical posts here would be accepted by all the professional mathematicians and computer scientists I know as theoretically sound. I witnessed them laugh out loud at a few of yours that I showed them. You have demonstrated a basic knowledge of probability and statistics but a pro
