$93.4 million Powerball lottery winner is New Mexico's thirdReply
Good suggestions.I'm run a small lottery pool with 3 coworkers and we've talked about the possibility of winning and what we will do if it happens. Before claiming, we plan to get a financial advisor so we can plan for the future and an attorney to help us with the legal stuff in addition to claiming the winnings on our behalf. We plan on using a trust or corporation to claim it, so our names will be kept out of the newspapers. I know this isn't 100% privacy, but it helps.After we get our mon

Powerball sales skid hurts lottery profitsReply
There's probably a lot of truth to what you're saying. Someone's making multi-state decisions biased in favor of lousy odds and unimaginable jackpots. Those decisions have to be based on some sort of reasoning, which can certainly be influenced by self-interest.Someone's pushing the envelope, choosing to believe that there's a huge pool of potential ticket buyers out there who won't buy tickets for a $25 million jackpot, but will do so for a $200 million one. It's obvious from some percentage

Powerball sales skid hurts lottery profitsReply
Here's my thoughts:1. If CT decides to drop Powerball, it would be a blow to the MUSL, because, IMHO, they are already suffering due to the popularity of MM. Implementing a matrix change now for no other reason than higher jackpots (and a higher 1st prize, also like MM) just looks like copying, and CT should drop it. This is the only reason MUSL is citing for a change, and if CT doesn't like it, sever the ties and drop out. Of course, get voter approval first, or they'll likely piss a lot of pe

Texas Lottery critic turns down selection committee postReply
In defense of Dawn Nettles.Folks who live here in Texas appreciate the fact that she attends every lottery commission meeting. She speaks for the players. Over the years, she has been insulted and mistreated by a lottery staff, including the commission, that has been trying to shut her up for a long time.One technique the commission uses is to make a quick change in order of business almost every time she leaves the room for personal reasons. Further, they often deny or delay her requests for in
