Scratch off Secruity-retail levelReply
I would guess that the person who is in charge of the lottery scratch off distribution knows which books have big winners in them. If they didn't it would be possible that a series of winning ticket books could end up in one or two zip codes instead of spread out across the state. There are numbers printed on the front and back of the ticket books/rolls these must be tracking codes as well as security codes.In Maryland if you have a winner they first swipe it thru a scanner. Then they type in th

Online lotteries in BrazilReply
Quote: Originally posted by Todd on July 22, 2004BobP,I think the point is that the company is an illegal pyramid scheme and they are lying about their registration in Norway, not that you can't play other states' games. WGI is not a real lottery-centric company, they are a MLM outfit masquerading as a lottery company.Dang, I do not want to argue WGI's side. Norway is saying WGI can't offer a lottery bacause they are not registered in Norway to opperate a lottery. Odds are they would not be g

E-mail lottery scams arise againNews Story
A fool and his money are soon parted, especially if the fool believes everything in his e-mail box.Darrel Van Sickle wasn't fooled, however.The former owner of Darrel's Pool Supplies on Dearborn Street thought something was fishy when he got an e-mail recently telling him he had won a lottery. All he needed to collect his winnings was to contact a fiduciary agent who would facilitate a transfer of his funds, most likely by asking Van Sickle to provide his bank information so the money could be

Foreign Lottery Scams Making Big ComebackNews Story
It starts with a postcard, a phone call -- maybe even an email -- telling you you've just won millions in a foreign lottery. It's a scam that's went underground for a while, but lately has made a comeback -- in a big way. This one here is from the Euro lottery, said Daniel Dujardin.Dujardin, 70, says it was a postcard that first hooked him in. 'You're eligible for certain amount, thousands of millions of dollars.' But of course, there was a catch. Oh, they want money up front either for taxe

Unfortunately, because of the complexity, it will be some time before even the concept can be revealed. (Probably after I ap

Are Lotteries RiggedReply
Jim695 wrote: Corruption and fraud are on the rise in state lotteries.No doubt that this occurs however many of the games are run by gaming officials that are constantly monitoring the games. Stealing from the coffers is one thing rigging the game is another. I'm not saying that it can't happen. It would take some clever trick to fool the gaming officials. Especially with guards watching video taping every move the lottery personnel make. The preparation the personnel take before the balls are d

Then he posted the winning numbers after the drawings with some BS showing how his system would have picked the very same numbers that were drawn and some posters called him a fraud.Then he said if only he had the histories of these games, he knew he could do better. Obvious he understands English and knows as much about the Internet as anybody at this forum, so he could have gotten that information himself. However, some posters did send him data on the games they played and waited for some pr

Ants, what feud are you talking about?Lottoking posted that he could easily pick a winner in a lottery with a few tries. He posted a series of 7 numbers combinations and said they would have produced a winner if they had been played in MegaMillions, PowerBall or some 6/49 games and some posters called him an idiot because no such thing was possible.Then he posted the winning numbers after the drawings with some BS showing how his system would have picked the very same numbers that were drawn and
