Poll: New National Game October 19th - Will You Play?Reply
There is no NO in the poll. The third option says No, which means that is the no option. I wasn't going to create a poll with an unnecessary number of options, that dilutes the consensus and frankly is very annoying (IMO). The reason for the no doesn't really matter. You can always use the 'Discard Vote' option and we will count that as plain No. You're pointing out the obvious, but yes, this isn't the most ideal game. They are using the $1 million prizes as a selling point but those priz

Puerto Rico joins Powerball todayReply
It hasn't been publicized but I've discussed it before. rcbbuckeye's thread about it mentioned at a TLC meeting: https://www.lotterypost.com/thread/279748 Also mentioned at Idaho lottery's meeting in May: http://www.idaholottery.com/theIdahoLottery/meetingAgenda.aspx?id=160 I alluded to the change back in June: https://www.lotterypost.com/thread/277047/3655357 I actually heard about it at SMART-TECH 2014, which is a lottery conference that took place in April.

Creatively Spanking 2Step (Unproven Method)Reply
Igamble I hope for the big one but play for a win of any size. No system IMHO, will ever produce consistent jackpots so what we need to focus on is cutting the cost of playing. I love working with digits and have been doing so for around 20 years now. In the pic above the lines were produced by placing just 4 digits, two first digits and two second digits. Some digit selections will produce more and some less, the example above is kind of a middle of the road run. When using digit

Mega Millions jackpot climbs to $180 millionReply
You are wrong and Coin Toss is correct. California has only had 2 MM jackpot winners this year, first one was on April 4th for $30 million and the 2nd one on August 22 for $180 million. Not sure what you are looking at to claim that California has won seven MM jackpots this year but you need to double check what you were reading. Overall, this current jackpot that was won makes it the eighth MM jackpot won in 2014. BTW, I did check MM website and it also states that this was California's 2

Post your scratch ticket resultsReply
I forgot all about the second chance drawings on the muscle car moneys... I think I had 2 or 3 losers. So I cashed in my $40 winner and got two more $1,000,000 Jackpots. Tickets 010 and 011. My fiancee wanted to send her grandfather a scracther in his birthday card so I gave ticket 010 to him and I scratched ticket 011. Mine was a dud, which makes me wonder if his was a winner. I also got two cash 5's one for me and one for him. My cash 5 also lost. I'm thinkin

Texas Lottery to launch new game after AG gives OKNews Story
The Texas Lottery Commission is moving forward with next year's launch of an unusual new game after getting a favorable ruling on its legality from Attorney General Greg Abbott. The game, Texas Triple Chance, combines elements of traditional lottery games and scratch-off games. Players pay $2 for three sets of seven numbers chosen from the range of 1-55. Each day, a set of 10 is drawn by the game. If a player's set matches the drawn set, he or she wins $100,000 (if six numbers match, the p

Why not choose the annuity?Reply
So keeping in line with the original post... Annuities not indexed towards inflation are usually poor choices, that is if you have a choice in the 1st place (annuity or cash). Most scratcher's typically don't give you a choice, you're stuck with that non indexed annuity payout. When you factor in taxes and inflation on top of that, your payout at year 20 etc can be quite lousy... so don't quit your day job just yet if you're a lucky winner in that case. I don't think Lotto jackpots here in

Missouri Gov. orders review of Lottery operationsNews Story
Missouri Gov. Jay Nixon has asked the state Office of Administration to carry out a comprehensive review of the Missouri Lottery's operations. The lottery posted more than $1.14 billion in sales last year, according to unaudited figures, but its $267.3 million profit (which goes to education funding) was $31 million short of its goal and was below 2006 totals when adjusted for inflation. The governor cited declining lottery and casino revenue in his decision to withhold $35 million of educ
