No Buying Tickets For Lottery RetailersReply
No protection is ever 100% and it would be foolish to think it so. The idea is more often then not lottery customers return to the same location where they bought their tickets to have it scanned to determine if they are winner and of course to buy tickets for the next draw. This is the point of oppertunity for a clerk to announce a lower prize win, pay off in cash and then claim the prize as if the legitimate owner of the ticket. As big wins are investigated, it would be quickly det

Is this a dumb thing to say?Reply
Dearest Mary, This is so unfair. When we met I was living in Asheville and you talked me into moving to Omaha with you right after you had that dream about hitting the Nebraska lottery. I taught you how to use numerology to work the dream symbols into numbers and you claimed them as your numbers and I'll bet that's the one you won with, right? Hope you and Goober live happily everafter, dining on RCs and Moon Pies. Sincerely, sniff Bill PS You did see the news item ab

CBS publishes second hatchet job on lotteryReply
Excuse me, but that is a statement that you need to clarify, because I can't for the life of me make sense of it. You said, Black individuals are manipulated and short changed into believing the lottery is fair and and honest . Please explain how state lotteries are able to pick out the black folks and make them believe the lottery is fair and honest , but somehow all the white folks and other races are informed that it is a crooked enterprise. I thought this was a poor

Jackpot winner says business as usual at executive assistant jobNews Story
Mystery winner claimed huge SuperLotto Plus jackpot Judy Taylor won $93 million in the California Lottery, and said she was going to go back to work as an executive assistant. The Alameda resident told state lottery officials she would use the money to travel to Greek islands and Hong Kong, buy a new car, and, as a lifelong renter, finally break into the Bay Area housing market. Lottery officials said Monday that Taylor won the Sept. 1 jackpot for the Super Lotto Plus game, ending a

DC Raffle Sales...Not Too Good!Reply
The success of these raffles seems to depend on the state because in Florida's first raffle JustEx was shut out before she could get a ticket and it took over 7 weeks for Ohio to sell all the tickets in its first raffle draw and I believe less than 75% were sold in the second. Kentucky had to extend their drawing date because of lack of sales yet Michigan sold out $50 tickets in a couple of days. Remember the alleged $1 million winner in New Jersey's 4th of July raffle that didn't sell out a

Hoosier LotteryReply
Hey Jeff, The Hoosier Lottery did indeed roll over for the 84th consecutive time! Since the next draw will be in August we we are now in the 10th consecutive month without a jackpot winner. As for the number of free tickets given out...this is about right for the current run. I have followed this statistic for a couple if years now and traditionaly they give out more free tickets on Saturday than they do on Wednesday. Presumably this is because they sell more tickets for a Saturday draw

Tennessee 7/1 thru 7/31Reply
Computerized drawings, unlike real drawings that use numbered balls selected from a tumbling drum, do not take place in the real world. They are a computer program, which cannot be seen, heard, or televised. For this reason, lottery players have shunned the technique as untrustworthy and prone to unseen errors. Such was the case with California's Daily Derby game, which uses a computerized drawing system. For many months in 2005 certain combinations of numbers that were bought by playe

Should PB MM be tax-free/lump sumReply
As to the first part of the question...Yes lottery winnings should be tax free...as they are almost everywhere else in the world. As to the second part...Yes Powerball and Megamillions should do away with the deceptive practice of advertising the annuity as the jackpot prize and the ridiculous notion of a cash value. No other business in the U.S. would be able to operate this way. Let's face it...U.S. lotteries do this because they believe...with some justification...that larger jackp

LUCK. born with it or...?Reply
I chose that you can think positive, but you can't force luck. I also agree with four4me because each day we have some luck that comes our way. I feel lucky just to have a roof over my head. On the other hand, I'm not sure the term is luck at all. Regarding a near miss - last week there was a bad accident ahead of me. Was I lucky because I was a few minutes behind? Sure, I was. Does that means the driver ahead of me was very unlucky? Was he just in the wrong place at the wrong time
