The real question is, what is the best action to take to get states to use Mechanical Random Number Generators instead of Computer Random Number Generators? I'm think boycotts would work best. They effect players profits. What would happen if players return the favor. Requiring them to show their drawings live would definitely be an added bonus. I'm having trouble remembering a lottery post article that mentioned a state or lottery official from a state that uses Computer Random Nu

Australia's biggest lottery winner still working after winning record $107 million Powerball jackpotReply
But that's not what CDanaT claimed. Here. I'll refresh your memory with the following two comments from CDanaT since you apparently don't have the capability to view earlier comments in this thread: Comment to Sully: Sully...it almost sounds like expected redistribution of wealth... Comment to EdG1955: You have assumed something that perhaps is beyond your grasp in this case and you carelessly cherry-picked part of the statement... Let me help you, expected redistribution of wealth .... I

After You Win The Lottery Big TimeReply
Ever heard the expression; It takes money to make money ? That strategy is a perfect example of that expression. As I read that WSJ article that's all I could think about. And to add insult to injury, private banks like the ones Goldman Sachs and JP Morgan Chase operate lend money to the wealthy without any of the paperwork that you and I have to suffer through to get a loan. Usually a quick signature on a loan document that's a few paragraphs long printed on a single sheet of paper is all that'

After You Win The Lottery Big TimeReply
At the risk of being accused of highjacking this thread, there's an article in today's Wall Street Journal that discusses how ultra high net worth individuals (they have 30 million or more to invest) live off their paper wealth. Their strategy is to BUY, BORROW and DIE. The ultra rich's strategy is to borrow money at today's low interest rates that is secured by their portfolios of stocks and bonds. They never have to cash in stock and thus they avoid paying capital gains taxes. They do it until

You have assumed something that perhaps is beyond your grasp in this case and you carelessly cherry-picked part of the statement... Let me help you, expected redistribution of wealth .... I was referring to the Forbes article that was written less than 20 months ago. Not some popinjay political representation. Can't imagine why someone would assume( ---we know how that word is divided up) that nonsense. But I did notice that you commented on not giving to charities(2 times) before family... See

I read an article a couple years ago about how the casinos had figured out how to get around those minimum payout requirements. It used to be on certain slot machines, if you sat and played one long enough, you could figure out the payout patterns. For example, if it's paying on every eighteenth play, you could time your bets so you played small for 17 in a row and then bump it way up when the machine was ready to pay out. Clever players could walk away with big money doing this. So what the cas

Oregon looking for new incentives after vaccine lottery fails to increase vaccination ratesReply
I think that Oregon being a single draw and Ohio being five different draws (5 chances to win a million) may have something to do with it. And then there is the way the Ohio draw is described.. as the article says. Imagine your name is drawn,but you don't qualify because you weren't vaccinated? They are playing on peoples' FOMO (fear of missing out).
