Went public too soon?Reply
I am inclined to go with the slim and null concept. Some one finding a way to steal the guys ticket, after all the publicity and hoopalah, in a small down, JUST for the purpose of ensuring they did NOT get the money. Slim and Null! Security procedures - booh! There have been several documented cases where tickets have been lost and the peoeple still got their prizes. This the the lottery, not Hanzel Gretel. They do this for a living. It would be interesting to know, how many real-time, vengeful,

Official gets 8 years at home for rigging lotteryReply
'Foreman, a retired Indianapolis Police Department sergeant, resigned from his $52,800-a-year lottery job in September 2004.' This may have been the very reason why the sentence was light ..because he was a civil servant to begin with prior to his lottery security position. Besides that, he was 62 years old. He made a mistake and he knew it. A little bit of greed must of kicked in as he got closer to retirement.

Official gets 8 years at home for rigging lotteryReply
A judge sentenced a former Hoosier Lottery security official to eight years of home detention for revealing to two men the store where they could buy a winning $1 million scratch-off ticket. What's eight years of home detention? Watching T.V., working in the garden, enjoying retirement? Things he was planning to do anyway if those other two crooks had given him his share of the loot.

Who is dumber?Reply
Great quote, Tenaj. I loved that movie! Going back a little further, it was The Day The Earth Stood Still that first had that effect on me. Klaatu: The universe grows smaller every day, and the threat of aggression by any group, anywhere, can no longer be tolerated. There must be security for all, or no one is secure. Now, this does not mean giving up any freedom, except the freedom to act irresponsibly.

Not all Retailers Pay Out to $599Reply
the machine does not give change so instead it will print you a voucher which is similar to a lottery ticket with the bar code at the bottom and an amount printed on it...you can then take that voucher and try to cash it somewhere else (same as a winning ticket)...I seriously doubt that they will make a machine that gives out cash...there are security issues associated with that and also technology issues which translates into costs for them...also if you are cashing a big amount (say $400) try

If You Could Spend One Million Dollars a Minute...Reply
I'd spend the rest to help New Orleans rebuild and recover its former glory. I saw a program a couple months ago that suggested NO is under martial law, that the National Guard is providing policing and security. If that's true, that's an unacceptable situation. They need help!

NC pre-test drawingsReply
It is logical to assume that all drawings regardless of type rng or balls use pre test draws. This is a security measure and is done in all US state lottery's. They don just grab a set of balls and dump them in a machine without a whole series of measurements and tests. It can take up to 4 hrs to prepare everything for one or two drawings. Midday and evening.

The 5 year countdown has begun, 12-21-2012Reply
So are you playing 1212 on Friday or 2012? By the way, if you have any proof of this event, let me know and maybe I can convince the government to start paying me my social security check early.

Rain DreamReply
To see an umbrella in your dream, suggests that you are putting up a shield against your emotions and trying to avoid dealing with them. It is also symbolic of emotional security. If the umbrella is leaking, then it indicates that you are unprepared in facing your problems. To dream that you cannot open you umbrella and it is raining, then it suggests that you are open to confronting your own feelings and letting your emotions come to the surface
