About those NC Digital Online Games...What's the verdict?Reply
states should audit lotteries for excessive operations costs and excessive salaries, but never for paying out too much in prizes. without attractive prizes nobody would play these dumb games. giving back us fools some of what we wasted on the lottery is why we keep coming back for more.

Another straight Pick 4 repeat a few days apart? Whew! That's crazy unlikely. I feel sure the lottery folks will have somebody audit their equipment and practices just to be sure. I mean, clusters do happen, but that one is pretty hard to believe.

You are right Highly Favored, this whole system is rigged, there is no way trips haven't dropped in almost 4 months, certain pairs and numbers are way overdue, I notice she is dropping the trips in cash 4 and GA 5 to look like she did drop some trips and make it look good in the audit reports, certain digits are not dropping is ridiculous, I also notice those 9 also in night draw are over due.

Which is correct tinker you only pay taxes on any 1 single prize 5000 or more...I was taught that long ago thats why I play all my pick 4 tickets. 50 cents not a dollar..it is income but its not the threshold to file taxes..if you have a job and make less then 5000 for the year you don't have to file taxes at all but the part about claiming your losses is true you can claim as much as you lose but have proof if you give a crazy number and they audit you..

Gaming board tracks down Las Vegas tourist after slot machine failed to inform him of jackpot winReply
w-9 form. I hit in Atlantic City back in 2001 on my sisters bday. w2 is work , w9 is gaming. Atlantic city also stopped years ago with coins, they use a coupon ticket to cash out. that is actually smart to do. I guess when they audit machines they can track things. Look at where were all headed into. the future of payouts.
