REPORT OF THE AUDIT OF THE KENTUCKY LOTTERY CORPORATIONhttp://www.kylottery.com/annual_report/2005-2004KYLotteryaudit.pdfIn September 2001, the KLC introduced Lotto South as a replacement game for Lotto Kentucky. The KLC participates in this game with the Georgia and Virginia lotteries. The increased population base allows for higher and faster growing jackpots than the KLC could generate on its own. Despite those attributes, Lotto South sales for 2005 continued to decline to $17.5 million,

Too true Chewie!As for the probable punishment likely to be meted out to this person StarChild_45, it'll probably be a slap over the wrist with a wet bus ticket. We will see but I'm not holding my breath.However Pauline, the part of the story with regards to the winner double-checking his ticket, was slightly misleading.Apparently, he knew that his ticket had won a prize but did not know the exact amount of the payout. After he was paid out, he checked the official results and discovered the

Remaining anonymous if you win jackpot?Reply
The timeline, is a variable, by state. First they have to collect all the money from the zillion stores accounts, then move it to the state with the winner. Then go through the audit thingie with the professionals. You can't just transfer millions of dollars out of state treasury without a ton of sign-offs. The government is based on CYA, thus all sign-offs come first.New Jersey, for example, tells you, on their web site, you can aniticipate up to four weeks for the transfer to occur. It could b

Wisconsin Lottery switches to computers to select winning numbersReply

Computers can only simulate real world conditions; for this, there is a possibility that trends that once exsisted in the natural world may now be enhanced by the narro

Tennessee Lottery officials respond to lawsuitReply
