If you were the Lottery Director?
I don't know if this question was ever posted here at the Lotterypost.If you were the Lottery Director of your state, what would you change?Add new games? TypeRemove old games?If I was the Lottery Director of my state I would remove the computerized Midday drawing with a live drawing.I would dump all the state Lottery Games except Powerball and I would add a 6/32 Lottery game with more chances to win.I would increase the Pick 3 payouts from 500 to 1 to 750 to 1.Create a state sanctioned online

Senators question components of N.C. lottery billReply
ain't it a b-tch to live in NC...... What's happening here is...all these lawmaker butt-heads are waitin for someone to cut them a slice of the lottery pie, a nice pay raise for them. They know where the money needs to go but they really don't care. Columbus and Bladen Counties are the poorest as far as schools go..Clarkton High School is crumbling and I'm sure the lead pipes need replacing since it's as old as me...

Louisiana man claims $250,000 Lotto jackpotReply
I live in Louisiana too and I seldom play the Lotto. The prizes increase only $25k-$50k every time the jackpot rolls. We do need Lotto South. I like how those prizes get in the millions and u can choose ANNUITY if u win. I don't know why people don't check tickets. I always check mine. Of course I'd love to have that $500k winning ticket. I wonder if Louisiana can afford to start the Lotto jackpot at $3 or $4 million. That's sure to get sales up. i'd buy it then.

Yes that is simple, but I don't see how a higher jackpot betters anyones chances of winning, versus a lower jackpot. The number of combinations remains the same no matter w

Lotto South=16 MillionReply
It may behoove Tennessee, West Virginia and DC to get together and form their own version of Lotto South; maybe they could call it Lotto East or something.If they join Lotto South, it would create 2 problems:1. They would probably have to drastically increase the matrix, which would probably do nothing but hurt Lotto South.2. And more importantly, making a Lotto East has a very important advantage: out-of-state players. Take Tennessee for example. If they join Lotto South and the jackp

Certainly that would placate all the giant jackpot fans.JAG,It was just a mildly sarcastic joke when I made the above comments in another thread. Maybe some lottery organization should re
