New Jersey Lottery suspends Fast Play sales due to software issueReply
Does my question suggest I wasn't clear on this? NO, I read the article, I wanted to know How, not if. They could explain how it came about for them to shut it down, that's transparency. If a car breaks down, the mechanic could say there was a glitch in your computer board, or he could say your fuel injector is bad. I just wanted to know what alerted them as to why they shut it down. The computer didn't say we have a glitch, How did this come about? To me that would be transparency,

All or Nothing ...... two years now, this game has been alive. The article said, 53 wins so far (100K). One winner a week (???) Jon

Lucky 4's on St. Patrick's Day — Virginia Lottery's Pick 3 draws 4-4-4Reply
Thoroughly enjoyable article...especially saying they only made $600K from the drawing. Do they have a cut off for selling so many of the same numbers on tickets? I noticed earlier Georgia had Quad 3's come in and paid out over $10 million. On the lotto machine it used to let you manually or probably a playslip too, IDK, enter the #'s. Then it would say 'Liability limit reached'. IGT has upgraded that so if I were to try to play 444, the last digit is greyed out so you have to pick another

Interesting Lottery Stories?Reply
Undercover Lottery Investigation Staff did a test where a Customer, cashed in a $75,000 Winning ticket. The Lottery Clerk gave them $75.00. The Undercover Lottery Investigation Staff Member was just about to build a case against that Dishonest, Lottery Cashier, but there was a twist. The same day, the Lottery Cashier realized in Horror that she made a HUGE mistake and accidentally mistook a $75,000 Winning ticket for only $75. She had no idea the Customer was actually an Undercover Lottery Inves

Lottery winners accepted by high society?Reply
I found it!! Here's a cut and paste from an article that appeared in The Washington Post: According to the National Endowment for Financial Education, about 70 percent of people who win a lottery or receive a large windfall will go bankrupt in a few years. Sad but all too true. G5

Idaho man wins lottery for the sixth timeReply
Thanks for posting this today. $20K for selling a $250K ticket, that is pretty amazing in itself. Like the CNN article I eluded to earlier, the Idaho lottery still did not disclose how much the other five winning tickets were for!

Australian woman sues lottery after losing a seven-year-old ticket she claims is a winnerReply
Just re-read the article again TWICE and SMDH. Putting notes on stranger's windshields asking them if they saw her buy lottery tickets? The Lott, one would think, would cut down that ridiculous long time---10 years---to claim your prize to something more reasonable like a year. Bookkeeping would be much easier. No ticket no pay, simple as that.

Powerball $550 million jackpot is game's largest in two yearsReply
now features a jackpot that will provide multi-generational wealth to the lucky player who eventually wins it all. I'm picking a nit here, but the only word I'd change in the above sentence is the word 'player'. I'd change it to 'players'. While it'd be great if one player won it all, that's not what typically happens when we see jackpots as large as this one is. Multiple winners doesn't always happen, (as was noted in the article) but it seems to me that it does happen more often than n

what is the pattern to be followed as based on a lottery?Reply
I saved an article in the internet wayback machine about this topic but that is a dead link now. Can't trust the archive? They purge stuff? I'm sure there must be another source out there. If I recall, a major lottery state released data that the percentage of quick picks was the same percentage as winners.
