it's illegal to mail lottery tickets [Where have you been?] that covers that point. They take a 1% ownership in the ticket to get around that legal hurdle, if you don't like that 1% ownership then don't contract with them, pure plain and simple. I don't think you will find anyone else out there that's going to give you what you want for what you are willing to pay. Go ahead and try, then let me know if you find someone that is trustworthy and will give you your moneysworth. I'm waiting.

Have you ever talked to a lottery official?Reply
By an unusuall way, yes I have been in contact with lottery employees. The company that I am employed by carries a state contract in which they purchase items from us and we deliver. The staff members are even told that if a vendor so much as jest about suggestions or changes to a lottery game that they must report them. Apparently they are not allowed to so much as discuss any feedback unless you are addressed as a citizen and not a vendor. I do feel its unjust that they get to play the lotter

Backlash in Calif. over sale of lottery operator GTECHNews Story
As the new 2007-08 Legislature convened Monday, the backlash over an Italian firm's quiet takeover of California's lotto contractor grew when a second legislative committee said it would investigate. Assemblyman Alberto Torrico, a Newark Democrat who chairs the government organization committee in the lower house, said his panel is probing the matter and may convene hearings.

Lottery ClubsReply
Hello Lottery Analyst, Sorry to hear you shut down your club but I've always thought a pool of people who see each other everyday was a better way for people to play the lotteries as a group. Maintaining a website and updating it after every drawing cost time and money and doesn't improves the club chances of winning anything and could involve additional legal fees. Even though players know each other in a local pool, it's still a good ideas to have a contract so everyone understand just

guesser, I hope you relies that in a 5/56 game 1,249,500 of 3,819,816 combinations have 56 in them and the odds of matching it with 5 numbers are 1:3. How does Xsmega contract you if 56 in one of the winning numbers? Or were you just kidding?

Five N.C. stores stop selling lottery ticketsReply
NC is new at this and they should be paying the stores for selling a winning jackpot ticket hopefully it will get better when it gets going strong. Most of the stores opting out of the lottery are stores in rural areas and beauty shops. These people do not generate enough traffic to warrant selling any tickets. It's basically where the traffic is. My case in point: Pool hall on hwy 55, which offers pool/bar like experience, he sells quite a few tickets in which he says has been one of the

Group Play QuestionsReply
In two cases in the news now winning lottery pools are being sued by people outside the pools who admit they contributed nothing to or signed any agreement with these pools. In the case in California, four co-workers claimed members of the pool agreed verbally a long time ago that if they ever won big in a lottery they would share their winnings with all their co-workers and in Texas a woman claimed that even though she never joined the pool, a friend failed to cover the cost of her joining so

Couple wins $800,000 Missouri scratch-off lottery jackpotReply
I just lost my post - having trouble with my ISP. Hockeyguy, you are correct. Many annuities do pay a lump sum to the beneficiaries when the annuitant dies, so that is probably true of many or most lotteries. I have no idea, to tell you the truth. I think it all depends on how the payment structure is set up in the first place. Not referring to the lottery, there are some annuities that will not pay a lump sum if the owner of the annuity dies, but that's always specified in the contract. I ag
