A Texas Lottery jackpot was "bought" last year, but legislators are pushing wrong solutionNews Story
Media echo chamber confuses problem and misleads public Exclusive Lottery Post investigative report By Kate Northrop Last year, a New Jersey-based group essentially bought a $95 million Lotto Texas jackpot by purchasing all the possible number combinations. Now state legislators are eying possible measures to prevent it from happening again, but those solutions may do more harm than good. A New Jersey-based group called Rook TX gamed the odds by buying nearly every number combin

Answer Me This...Reply
I realize that from a Florida Fantasy5 players perspective going to two draws per day flat out stinks, and that me posting all of the hidden benefits for the Florida Lottery doesn't make it any better for players. However there is one more thing I'd like to say and then I'll stop my long winded rants. I think in 2020 (not sure if that's the correct year or not, but if it's not 2020 then it's close to 2020) The New York Lottery implemented two drawings per day for their Pick5 game, Take5. Tak

Certified randomness using a trapped-ion quantum processor
From ARXIV.org While quantum computers have the potential to perform a wide range of practically important tasks beyond the capabilities of classical computers, realizing this potential remains a challenge. One such task is to use an untrusted remote device to generate random bits that can be certified to contain a certain amount of entropy. Certified randomness has many applications but is fundamentally impossible to achieve solely by classical computation. In this work, we demonstrate the

West Virginia to add daily draw games to online ticket sales offeringsReply
Interesting that three state lotteries have very different opinions on Online sales. The Tennessee Lottery now offers Online PB sales to compete with growing competition from sports betting , the WVA Lottery is offering sales of more of their drawn games, and the Indiana Legislators believe implications of the bill on the state's gambling industry as a whole were too complex and worrying that the proposed legislation would cannibalize brick-and-mortar operations . Georgia, Kentucky and a fe

Texas Lottery Commission votes to ban lottery couriersReply
For now, we still have a lottery. I think that's what all the wrangling is about. The lawsuits have forced the states hand to protect the people of Texas. Texas has the 4th largest lottery in the nation, about $8.5 billion annually. Don't think it will collapse losing $173 million. It's also a win for the brick and mortar retailers, many of who are local mom and pop operations. That lottery ticket sale to them means additional revenue in the form of soda, chips, a sandwich, etc. Third pa

Lotto Texas winner sues betting company and couriers, claims he was cheated out of $100M jackpotReply
Destiny did not have a prize of more than $100 million scheduled for the winner of the $7.5 million Lotto Texas. Although the assignment of numbers on a ticket is purely a mathematical process, winning on the other hand and more often than not, impels other subjective and indeterminable factors such as the energy levels and mindset of the players and Yes - the hands of the Gods. The internal operations of the lottery is based on mathematics - in more specific terms - the permutations of
