Lottery retailers busted in raidNews Story
Store owners, clerks accused of stealing winning tickets Lottery officials raided several mini marts Tuesday in Fresno, California. Owners and clerks were taken away in handcuffs after undercover investigators say the suspects cheated would-be customers by lying about winning tickets. Late last year officers posing as consumers showed up at many local mini marts to test their honesty. More than a dozen store owners and employees failed. Today, authorities caught up with them at the busi

International super lottery to create jackpots of $500 million or moreReply
I agree, Coin Toss. Given the huge amounts of money at stake, corruption in such a lottery would be rampant and unavoidable. Those currently charged with running state lotteries in America are now beginning to whine that it's too hard to make a profit, and that it would be easier and more profitable to privatize this significant stream of state revenue. If the top prize is $500 million, they'd need to generate two or three times that amount in ticket sales and, from what I read in the a

Tenn. Lottery players complaining over switch from numbered ballsReply
The lottery (Tennessee Lottery) claims computerized drawings are exciting , although player polls suggest that any excitement from lottery drawings comes as the result of seeing real lottery balls being mixed in a spinning drum and drawn one at a time both of which are missing from computerized drawings. Because of the Ohio Lottery, state representatives and state senators had an additional $646 million to put into the state's educational fund in 2006. I seriously doubt they would risk

Anyone watch E! True Hollywood Story: Curse of the Lottery show?Reply
All I actually said was that money is a blessing in the right hands. What does the state, or even the lottery have to do with my statement? Whose hands are the right hands is very subjective and lotteries are games of chance so it doesn't apply unless cheating is involved. What I meant was that their are different types of people out there and how and what lottery winnings are spent depends on the type of person who wins. That is the same as saying a hungry man would buy food, a

Winning retailers named by B.C. Lottery CorporationNews Story
The B.C. Lottery Corporation has gone public with the names of its lottery retailers who have won major prizes, following this week's scathing report by the B.C. ombudsman into lottery irregularities. The report said lottery officials have failed to protect consumers from possible fraud by ticket retailers, citing examples of retailers winning thousands of dollars at a much higher rate than that of the public at large. Some of the retailers being named by the corporation are speaking out,

Criss Angel (Illusionist - Magician)
(this post may not seem lottery related but it is) I was up late the other night and caught one of Criss Angel's episodes on the A E channel. It was a new episode - to me, anyway. He was in the lobby of a casino in Las Vegas doing a card trick in front of a small crowd of maybe 8 to 10 people. He fluttered a deck of cards he had in his hands and picked out a lady from the crowd. This is just a standard deck of 52 cards, he looked at the lady and asked her, Just visualize any c

Thoughts about QPs and random # behavior
On the general lotteries forum there's frequently a lot of complaint about whether the numbers are actually random, or they ain't. The visitors and members are able to observe the inconsistencies with odds and randomness, and they often conclude the reason is 'cheating' and 'fudging' on the part of the lottery officials. Maybe sometimes that's the case. But over here in the Mystical Forum many of us have already reached the conclusion that a lot of factors enter in to attempts by man to i

Arizona Lottery delays expiration date of $12.8 million jackpot-winning ticket in legal battleReply
Evidently it must have been against company policy for employees to purchase rejected tickets The stories I've seen have said the policy is that employees can't buy (any) lottery tickets at the store they work at , not just while they're working. There's also the whole deception angle of attempting to buy the ticket in the hopes that the company didn't yet know they owned a ticket worth far more than face value. I don't see any way that it was a lawful sale/purchase. Unprecedented move

You got it right. As you guessed, it's an eigenvalue and eigenvector problem from a linear algebra book. Several ways you can do it. For example, if you notice that the system has a steady state, you can get the answer with middle school math as you did. It could also be set up as a system of recurrence relations: G(n) = (4/5)*G(n-1) + (1/3)*R(n-1) Y(n) = (1/2)*Y(n-1) + (1/5)*G(n-1) R(n) = 100 - G(n) - Y(n) with characteristic polynomial x^3 - (59/30)x^2 + (19/15)x - 3/10 = 0
