So if you find a winning formula, it's considered fraud?Reply
Nah that's not the point. I'm looking at it from two different scales. One has more money to play higher games, and the small fish playing pick 3 gets to go? If my 7yr old son magically finds a pattern, and because he can't play because he's underage and tells me numbers to purchase. I'm functioning as a courier right? And I go out and buy 72 tickets in a month. All winning. Okay. Fair enough!

Texas Lottery Commission votes to ban lottery couriersReply
I don't think we're actually all that misaligned! It would be horrendous if the Texas Lottery were to be shut down, and it's just as frustrating that the Texas Lottery (and possibly legislature, depending on what comes out of this legislative session) would pick a blanket solution rather than work out the details. It's simply the path of lesser resistance. Just makes you go ugh! I appreciate the different perspectives. I think the part where we disagree on is what the appropriate solution is.

Bill banning lottery courier services passes Indiana House and SenateReply
Couriers have nothing to do with rigging a lottery (which itself is a loaded/incorrect term). I assume by rigging you mean someone buying all the possible combinations. THAT IS NOT DONE THROUGH A COURIER. It would be too expensive, because couriers charge extra money per ticket/order. Just because Texas legislators and the New York Times are unable to differentiate between two separate concepts does not mean that we at Lottery Post cannot correctly separate these two concepts. What they do i

Attorney General investigates "suspicious and potentially illegal" Texas Lottery jackpotReply
Nobody is preventing anyone from buying lottery tickets. People driving through states have bought tickets and won money. And nobody is blaming illegal immigrants for any of this. If you want to test this theory walk into any Texas lottery retailer, hand them a buck and tell them you want a ticket for the Texas Lotto, no extras. You will get a ticket. They will take your buck. You don't need a third party courier to buy a ticket or to cash a winner. I've done it since 1992 whe

Texas Lottery bans lottery courier servicesReply
Some people can't get out of the house. Also, Texas is a huge state with very large rural areas. I imagine many people live far away from town and don't have easy access to the lottery. The Lt. Governor's statement was ill-informed and illustrates that he does not have a grasp on the situation. The Lottery should have educated the government officials privately about the issue not in a hearing where the participants are trying to score political points. As I mentioned, there is a really

Texas LotteryReply
Glad to see the ban on courier services. Now go take back all the extra machines and shut 'em down! Let them move back to California (or Delaware). I really want to believe those guys had the best interest of the lottery players at heart. I want to believe the were hoping to make Texas the largest lottery in the states. In part I'm sure it's true, but they were either naive or plain foolish to go about it the way they did The burr under my saddle is looking at this stack of Texas lotter
