Georgia Lottery board member resigns citing pressure to hire new directorNews Story
A member of the Georgia Lottery Board resigned last week because she thought the panel was feeling pressured to hire the governor's budget director to run one of the country's most successful lotteries. Frances Rogers, who has served on the board since late 2010, said she hung up the phone in the middle of a conference call to discuss a new lottery president last week and immediately resigned. There were things that were said and I decided I was not going to be able to be part of the proc

Possible 2x's Jackpot Winner.
These two lottery jackpot names are similar and in the same area. So I was wondering if it could possibly be the same winner, what do you think? I also noted that the two stores in which these winners were sold are only 8 miles apart. #1: LOTTERY HEADQUARTERS, TRENTON, NJ (December 4, 2009) The New Jersey Lottery today announced that the Lopes Family of Union County have come forth as the New Jersey winners of the $77 million jackpot from the MEGA MILLIONS drawing held on November 10, 2009

Can't Feed the Pig when Uncle Sam & The Lottery Steals all the Food
WARNING: LONG READ AHEAD I am truly sick to my stomach after analyzing the numbers of the PA Lottery. I'm using PA as an example, but Im sure whatever state you live in, the numbers are most likely similar. Right now, for every dollar in ticket sales, only $0.38 is returned to the players. I always believed the numbers were closer to 50/50, but thats not the case. So right now, if PA sold $1,000,000 of Cash 5 tickets, the pool is only going to be around $300k-$400k. Pretty significant chu

Employee lottery pool wins on first ticketNews Story
Talk about instant gratification the first time the 23 people on the night shift at the Sherwin-Williams plant in Andover, Kansas, decided to pool money and buy Powerball tickets, the first ticket they bought proved to be a winner. A $200,000 winner, which means it matched the first five numbers drawn Jan. 5 but not the Powerball.
