Illinois Senate president hopes to expand lotteryNews Story
Internet sales being contemplated Hoping to squeeze more money out of the state lottery, Illinois Senate President John Cullerton wants to sell tickets online and hire a private company to manage and market the games. Cullerton thinks new technology and fresh ideas could help Illinois facing what could be a $9 billion hole in next year's budget dramatically boost lottery revenues. I would venture to say you could potentially even double it, the Chicago Democrat said in a recent intervi

Colorado Lottery investigates 21-time prize winnerNews Story
Is it unfair to investigate a player just because he plays a lot? The Colorado Lottery launched an investigation into a repeat winner and his self-described system for winning the Cash Five jackpot again and again. The real reason Tadeusz Krupa wins so often may have nothing to do with luck, skill or cheating. He may just play... a lot. Krupa splits his time between two modest homes. One houses his ex-wife and children in Brighton. The other is also the office for T D Polish Imports Exp

Alaska lottery fundraiser hits the jackpotNews Story
With a half-million-dollar payoff as the lure, a lottery of unprecedented scale in Alaska has proven immensely popular, with tickets selling out in shops across the state as the initially scheduled drawing time approached Wednesday evening, according to organizers. In the end, though, late-arriving ticket stubs from the Bush prompted organizers to postpone the drawing a week. But liquor stores, pull-tab parlors and restaurants in nearly 30 communities had already sold about 130,000 tickets

Thanks chipp. Unclaimed jackpot winners really make you wonder, don't they? I guess more tickets are quick picks but people who pick their numbers are more likely to check their tickets. Four winners tonight, four low numbers, one QP and 3 PS....(how'd you like to finally get all five numbers and get $25,000?)

Maddogs Mega Millions Challenge 8/22Reply
In the states where MegaMillions and PowerBall are played, there are local games with several million dollars jackpots with better odds of winning but the overall odds of winning anything in those game are worst. For most players winning something is better than winning nothing and the multi-state game take advantage of that. Although PowerBall wanted to make it harder to win a jackpot, they wanted odds of winning something to remain the same or better, thus they reduced the number of bonus ball

Why I think quick picks suckReply
Majority of jackpots are won with Qp's, but thats because 95 percent of people dont select there own numbers. So any results page you look at will have a higher ratio for Qp's over personal picks.

My suggestion is to stick with the stats that will give you the best chances to win..I'll post the last 20 days of ny's take 5- and you'l
