The possibilities for fraud in RNG gamesReply
Regardless of what you might find, there's alway a possibility of fraud, but how much does it take to raise a reasonable suspicion? There are all sorts of anomalies you could look for, but the nature of probability is that *anything* is possible, so just the occurrence of something improbable isn't enough to prove there's something other than the normal workings of probability going on. Many years ago New Jersey drew the same pick 3 number two days in a row and made a big deal out of investi

The possibilities for fraud in RNG gamesReply
Not sure on how to vote in this one. In IL we're fortunate not to have this dilemma. But there is SUCH a HUGE potential for fraud in a RNG drawing that is also distributing quick picks from the same system that there is no way I'd play an RNG drawing under any circumstances. The only way to stop this corruption is to not contribute to it. They "say" it's a money-saving move. How much money are they really saving when their sales drop proportionately? How much does it take to maintain bal

Had a weird idea about claiming a jackpotReply
I think you have two choices, assuming the lottery allows a corporation to own tickets and claim the prize. The first choice is that you can send whomever you want as a legal representative of the corporation or as a spokeman. Being a legal representative for the purpose of claiming the prize really isn't any different than having a power of attorney. It should be noted that granting a power of attorney doesn't require giving somebody unrestricted discretion to act on your behalf; you can place

Enron founder Kenneth Lay is deadReply
I doubt Lay had the skill or intelligence to set up the payment system/subcorporations that was the source of all the fraud. The real villian was the CFO not the CEO. Lay just seemed more like the I'd rather be playing golf type CEO that would push underlings to get results but not pay attention to the details. I also doubt he was working out and paying attention to his diet. Lots of people who are out of shape, under a lot of stress and don't pay attention to themselves keel over all the t

mega millions vs. powerballReply
Megamillions gives a higher cash value, and rises faster in real terms, but the odds against winning are much longer. I live in a border area and can play each game. I play according to the expectation value, which is a value of the prize divided by the odds against winning it, adjusted for the likely numbers of winners and potential prizes. Like all gamblers, I accept to play at an expectation value of much less than one, but even I have lower limits. (In very large jackpots, the expect

Employee charged with stealing lottery ticketsReply
The state has operated its education lottery since March 30 and already the commission has investigated dozens of cases of suspects stealing tickets, breaking and entering, committing larceny, as well as various degrees of fraud committed by retailers and players alike who are falsely reporting winnings and altering lottery tickets, Mittag said. tst. tst. tst. They should make the punishment stiffer. ?$2,000 bond. Come on. Retailers should get it worst. We need to be able to trus

Um Pisssed! MO is bad!Reply
Yuppers. I think eventually they will all be computerized. It's much cheaper for them, plus they don't give a rip what the players want, since there are no other games in town so to speak. Having said that, I've hit winners in computerized states using the same methods that I used in machine states. So for me, it doesn't matter as far as playing goes. I'm just more sceptical about the RNG games because there does seem to be a lot more potential for fraud on the part of the states with tho

Man charged with forging lottery ticket claims it was a jokeReply
First of all, that's not a riddle. It's merely a question of Mr. Joe Average being able to determine a counterfeit bill from the genuine article. Second, the gentleman that tried to cash the ticket seems to have been duped and perhaps should be exonerated. I won't speculate as to his innocence. The guy that made the fake, having allowed the first person to attempt to cash the ticket should be charged with fraud and attempted grand larceny. It sounds as though he genuinely wanted to defraud the

Penn. woman sues for share of winning lottery ticketReply
Debit and credit cards aren't the same according to the Federal Government either. To the best of my knowledge, the Fair Credit Act was never modified to cover debit cards and therefore does not protect people from fraud or theft. The law limiting liability to $50 per card doesn't apply to a checkcard. I don't know why a retailer would accept a debit card for a lottery ticket purchase unless it was a large one. How much do they profit from the sale of a ticket? Retailers are charged a fee for
