Virginia winners may have to pay for Lottery's mistakeNews Story
Sometimes lotto luck lies underneath the surface of a scratch-off ticket. Sometimes it lies in the bounce of a ball. And sometimes it lies with the Virginia attorney general's office. Hundreds of players thought they had struck gold when lottery terminals errantly spit out tickets that appeared to have won them as much as $7,777. Turns out it was a computer programming error, not lady luck. Now the state's top lawyers will consult with the Virginia Lottery to decide whether the players get

International super lottery to create jackpots of $500 million or moreReply
I agree, Coin Toss. Given the huge amounts of money at stake, corruption in such a lottery would be rampant and unavoidable. Those currently charged with running state lotteries in America are now beginning to whine that it's too hard to make a profit, and that it would be easier and more profitable to privatize this significant stream of state revenue. If the top prize is $500 million, they'd need to generate two or three times that amount in ticket sales and, from what I read in the a

Powerball multi-state lottery game to change rulesNews Story
Changes to coincide with addition of Florida in January; Jackpots to start at $20 million Powerball, arguably the world's best known jackpot lottery game, will be making changes to the game with the addition of Florida in January. The multi-state game will add some white ball numbers and will remove some red ball numbers, to accomodate the increase in number of players once Florida joins the game.

NYS lotto Scratch off's (DIRTY SECRET) information that is not revealed to the public-SCAM OR NOT?
If you play NYS lotto scratch off's, than you need to read this information. If you play other states instant scratch off games you may want to question that states policy, as I have done with NYS lotto. First off, it took me a very long time to get this answer. I had sent numerous letters from my friend and I under the freedom of information act to get my questions answered. I had to finally go on a major letter writing campaign and literally write to every single NYS Assemblyman and Se

A risky proposition worth taking...Reply
What a surprise to get a response from BobP (aka Robert Perkis, if I'm not mistaken??) Interesting story... while your main character(s) sought more and more from the masses, I only sought ONE sound, workable method/system to pick the first numbers of a whole number. In fact, I did ask....right here under the Jackpot Forum. Not a blip of an asnwer. I went on to devise a little method to get the answer I was seeking. Though it's a longer process than I would like, I did ask the community first

New Dream...
4.6.08 I dreamt again last night. Two in a week is definitely a record for me indeed so I hope this means something good. Very short version: I was at my new house doing housework and yard work. My mother was standing in the front yard talking to me. The house was huge but older. We were talking about the lawn. A nosey neighbor who lived a couple of houses down, came outside along with the rest of his family to stare at us. A man was driving up the street then took a detour right thr

$135M lottery winner to boss: "I'm out of here"News Story
David Sneath has worked at a Ford Motor Co. parts warehouse for 34 years, but it didn't take him any time at all to walk out once he discovered he had won a $136 million Mega Millions jackpot.
