MegaMillions and Quick PickReply
Shane3 and Rjoh: I have only been with the LP for about 2 months or so and am still green because until I joined this board I did not know how to spell Lottery. What I gather from these posts by both of you is that the Lottery (HQTRS) in whatever state you are in receives the picks from the downstream terminals at your friendly convenience store and takes that infor and sweeps the picked numbers to determine what is the best set of numbers to allow to be picked by the next draw.

Saddam was a brutal vile dictator, but let's face it, the US is not against all dictators and does not invade a country just because it is ruled by a brutal vile dictator. I don't have time to respond to all of this, but here's a list of all the mini-Hitlers the US has had no trouble supporting over the years. http://www.omnicenter.org/warpeacecollection/dictators.htm That's quite a list, and it should tell you that the US has no problem with mini-Hitlers who do the bidding of the US.
