Prosecutors say 2 more men may be linked to lottery riggingsNews Story
Prosecutors in the case of a former lottery insider convicted last year in a national Hot Lotto jackpot-rigging scandal are seeking to subpoena records from two attorneys they believe could be tied to the plot. Documents filed on Tuesday by the lead prosecutor in the case, Assistant Iowa Attorney General Rob Sand, seek to subpoena records from Texas attorneys J. Thad Whisenant and Luis Vallejo. Authorities assert that immediately after investigators attempted to interview Whisenant about t

Iowa court reverses part of Tipton's lottery fraud convictionNews Story
An Iowa appeals court on Wednesday upheld a former lottery employee's conviction for rigging the computer system to generate the winning ticket in a $16 million jackpot, but reversed a conviction for attempting to cash in on the ticket. The conviction stems from Eddie Tipton's work for the Iowa-based Multi-State Lottery Association, or MSLA, which produces computers that generate random numbers for lotteries in multiple states. As an employee of the association, Tipton was barred from playing

Secrets of a lottery lawyer-Kurt Panouses interviewReply
I too watched that particular BW video regarding Kurt Panouses's fees. I read a lot the comments that were posted along with the video too. Just like any video on YouTube, some comments were ridiculous, but some were definitely worth reading. There are over 1,300 comments attached to the video and I did not read all of them. There are multiple comments that echoed the same sentiment regarding Panouses's estimated fee of $18,000 to $20,000. Many people commented that a fee of $18,000 to

Ohio: 2/1 - 2/28/2026Reply
I took it upon myself to break this down for people so they can see exactly what I'm talking about with this scam sheet you're running. You have 4 TTT boxes on your sheet... Box 1- 7 digits which equals 35 combinations without the doubles Box 2- 7 digits which equals 35 combinations without the doubles Box 3- 8 digits which equals 56 combinations without the doubles Box 4- 9 digits which equals 84 combinations without the doubles So in total with all 4 boxes you're using

Does Lottery Software work?Reply
No paid software can give you better odds than just playing a QP (and I am not a fan of QPs). No free software either. They can display statistics in a chosen range just fine, but if you think about it, if these programs worked, they would stop offering the games. From the perspective of an avid hobbyist who likes to code, none of my many attempts worked either (outside of a rare coincidental hit here and there)... I have been at this (on and off) for over 20 years. No matter how fancy the

Numerous State Lottery holdoutsReply
From the movie, Casino: Ace Rothstein: Three f****n' jackpots in 20 minutes? Why didn't you pull the machines? Why didn't you call me? Don Ward: Well, it happened so quick, 3 guys won; I didn't have a chance... Ace Rothstein: You didn't see the scam? You didn't see what was going on? Don Ward: Well, there's no way to determine that. Ace Rothstein: Yes there is! An infallible way...they won!

MegaMillions ticket reprint fraud by a store associate?Reply
I'm in Florida. I've no idea if Florida Lottery software has reprint functionality included in it or not. This is the first time I've ever heard of such a thing, but I can see why it might be necessary and potentially have a positive use(s). I might ask a few clerks here in Florida if they've ever heard of it, or maybe I'll just send an email to The Florida Lottery and ask them if they have reprint functionality in the software. (I might even do both!) I'm also wondering if the ability to re

$825 MILLION: Massive Mega Millions drawing set for FridayReply
You really think they'd skim a few millions and risk govt audits instead of keeping the cash cow going? I don't know about the Mega but PB preparation always had individual balls weighed and X-ray'd and less than a handful of ppl know which one of the three machines is going to be used. There's dozens of states involved and you can't get them to keep their mouths shut if there's a huge scam underneath. States like WY that had never had a jackpot would've rioted. The odds of 1,
