Arizona Lottery computerized drawing machine generated identical winning numbersReply
The easy way to get states to stop using RNGs is to boycott the games. If people simply stopped playing those games, the loss of revenue would cause the states to go back to using balls. As long as states keep recording record sales, they have no incentive to change operations. I also wonder if this problem exists with second chance drawings since those are computerized. Florida has been doing second chance drawings for losing scratch-off tickets for a few years now. About a year ago, one pe

$650 MILLION: Powerball lottery jackpot skyrocketsReply
Sales have been on a decline for some time now. It was raised to 650 million after no one hit Saturday night. Alnost 48 hours later it has not been raised yet. If you look back to last year when the record was set it was sitting at 334 million and no one hit and they announced for the next drawing a JP of 400 mill but with 352 mill in ticket sales it ended up jumping from 400 mill to 528 mill by the time of the drawing. This past drawing started out advertised at 510 mill but ended up going to 5

$535 MILLION: Huge Powerball sales sparks early jackpot increaseReply
What a difference a year and 7 months makes. The record progression was 334 528 948 1586. Based on the currently published estimates this one is 356 430 535 650. If the last makes it all the way to 950 that's still less than half of the increase we saw through 4 drawings for the record jackpot. I'm sure those last two will change, but jackpot fatigue is clearly slowing things even when the advertised jackpot is over 400. Even if tomorrow night tops out at 550 or so a rollover probably won't t

Post your scratch ticket resultsReply
Been splurging and now I'm paying for it (again) until my next payday on the fourth. My 5-game $20 Scratcher winning streak ended when I played a #29 Platinum Payout. The next day I picked up a #000 100X the Money and got a 10X 2.00 ($20 total), which means the last 3 100X's I bought were break-evens, with the one before those being $50. Also have a flawless record on Lucky Streak (2/2) with $30 $40. So, I'm not giving up on my record because of the rift on Platinum Payout. It could be t

$359 MILLION: Powerball jackpot heats upReply
Interesting how people start talking about the all-time record jackpot once the current jackpot enters the Top 25...... One jackpot out of 2567 sits as the record holder and we have the belief that it will be met or broken in just a short time! Right now we are only 1 standard deviation from the mean in terms of hit probability; I will be withholding my excitement until 3 or more (5-6 weeks)

British Columbia Lottery taking bets on US electionReply
Trump sounds like Reagan? They both came out of the entertainment world but the similarities stop right there. Trump is nothing like Reagan. Was it not Reagan who said Do not speak ill of another Republican .. or something of the kind? I was under 10 when Reagan came into office but l loved history and read tons growing up. But please don't tell me others that Trump reminds you of Reagan. Reagan was not called the Great communicator for nothing. He knew how to TALK to people.Reagan had a track r

Online lottery sales not approved by Massachusetts lawmakersReply
As somebody pointed out, the IRS defines it as gambling winnings so if the prize is $600 like the KY pick-3 pays, the winnings are $599. The KY Lottery agents do not issue a W-2G on $1 pick-3 winning straight ticket. Under your ten $500 winning tickets scenario, no W-2G would not be issued so no winnings are reported to the IRS. The KY lottery offers MM, PB, and its state game Cash Ball Online along with several instant play games some with prizes up to $50,000. Any wager winning over $600 is

$422 MILLION: Powerball climbs again on rolloverReply
Your delusions about the simple randomness of the lottery aside, you're demonstrating some really stupid thinking about what the lottery would want or allow if they had control of the outcome. People play the lottery in hopes of winning money and lottery marketing is all about how big a prize you could win just be being in the game. Three people netting $200 million back in January was good for marketing, but a single winner netting $600 million would have been even better. The people who spe
