Ball Set Question
Hello All, This concerns information about the Massachusetts Lottery Commission's Mass Cash game. Mass Cash is a pick 5 from 35 game. A member who posted in another forum recommended that the long term range in the software should be set to the last time that a lottery commission destroys the old ball sets and replaces them with new ones. That person advised that I contact my lottery commission and ask them when the last time was that they did this. So I asked them

SC lottery error prompts class-action lawsuitNews Story
It was Christmas Day in South Carolina and plenty of people were feeling lucky. For just $1, they could buy a ticket for Holiday Cash Add-A-Play at their local convenience store.

British Columbia Lottery taking bets on US electionReply
My wish for the new year is that people would take a serious look at the Bible. What we call Christianity is the promise God made with Abraham.
