Maryland Pick 5 No trip Pairs or Quads. SuspiciousReply
Chip Polsten was a fantastic public relations director for the Kentucky Lottery. One of the best. He was also a real advocate for lottery players, and always read what people were saying on the Lottery Post forums because he cared about the players, not just the corporate stuff. Being from Kentucky he loves Corvettes too, which is always a plus in my book.

Not sure why you're giving Gary Grief a hard time. He was a terrific lottery director, and the state was lucky to have him at the helm for so many years.

Massachusetts Lottery announces online ticket sales coming in 2025Reply
Whatever you like. I am correct, and got it straight from the lottery director a couple years ago. Not my fault if a worker at the lottery does not understand legality issues.

Virginia Lottery Director Khalid R. Jones appointed as Mega Millions Lead DirectorReply

The lead directors serve terms of 1 year, and they're usually also holding the job of lead director for a state lottery. The

Lottery is not random it's predeterminedReply
The fact is the state's lottery had nothing to do with that scandal. It was done by Nick Perry, the station's lottery announcer, along with a stagehand. Also the station's art director created the weighted balls for the draws. For some reason this saga is commonly brought up when someone accuses a state lottery of rigging.
