Mass. Lottery ends some scratch ticket games before grand prizes paid outReply
Original Post by Ron5995 Glad to see mainstream media investigate this. [...] While numbers rigging (ie. Hot Lotto) scandals have received much press, there's likely far more cheating of players happening in the instant scratch off realm. For all U.S. lotteries combined, closing instant scratch off games early and other questionable activity (ie. insiders buying known winning packs; pulling individual packs known to contain a top prize winner) could potentially be shorting players hundre

Winner sues Colorado Lottery 12 years after rigged drawingReply
w/ 95% of your post Floyd. The gray area for me is this bit They clearly didn't have a security protocol that was good enough.. The lottery could argue that this kind of thing had never happened before. This was plainly uncharted territory for lotteries nationwide. I say the lottery has a case, it's no wonder they refused to listen to Massih's attorney. It's gonna be quite a ride. Hold onto your hat.

IT'S OFFICIAL: Tipton pleads guilty to rigging computerized lottery drawingsReply
Unless the mechanical balls are tampered with Cassie, rigging PB MM, would be a near impossible. How would you * The rigger- know what numbers players in all 50 States have on their playslips? What if they already marked advance play? If it is a live draw, its the purest form of non cheating l could ever imagine. Its those RNG games we need to worry about. If Fast Eddie could have set this up in 05,2 years after the Mars Rovers landed on Mars, imagine the technology in the hands of other savvy c

Florida Scratch Offs - Post Pictures if posibleReply
In theory, each subset of the game (3,800,000 tickets / 126,667 rolls) would pay for itself. The single $5MM prize and 3.33 $1MM prizes, so it should not matter where the prize falls - in theory. Whether they manipulate it to fall a certain place we don't know, but as I've said before, I doubt they do. The process should be as random as possible for security reasons. From what it seems, GPs tend to fall within the middle of the pack of each subset.. which is where my numbers come from.

Woman won $100,000 from playing Michigan Lottery's $100 Grand Cashword Instant Game.Reply
There goes that word again. Social security and the big govts. You're absolutely right. Can she find something to do with passive income? Instead of relying on investco or fidelity or anything like that. We're talking the same language here so if this person is smart enough to look at the interest rates, principal she could be lucky or in for it.

Congratulations to the Oakland County, Michigan winner. $100,000.00 less taxes is something to write home about. Think about how a 31-year-old could invest that money and make it grow until retirement. She should not depend on Social Security to be there for her.

The 5 lottery jackpots Tipton and his friends stoleReply
Noisegates signature line seems befitting for this topic. Tipton thought the same way! Actually this is great PR for states to say how they now invest more in security and authentication of draws...So they now will have to up the odds and cost to cover the upgraded systems. The customer pays for all this mind you...

Iowa Lottery investigation highlights difficult balance between security and profitsReply
I've given up on expecting gas station/convenient store clerks to accurately run play slips, replay tickets, and/or cash winning tickets so I try to only play at places where I know the clerks are experienced and trustworthy. The occasional players are more likely to be cheated by the same clerks and stores I avoid, but other than the stings lottery security run, there isn't much they can do to prevent fraud. Some people wrongly assume lottery play is a big part of a retailer's business and w

Mike I posted wrong, I mean that they no longer send a Social Security Check by mail, they send it to a bank account or to a debit card.
