Lottery riches are only one component of happinessReply
The rich and famous may claim money isn't important. But if this is so then why don't they give most or all of it away and return to a middle class or poor station in life? Richard Branson and Tom Hanks can give it all away and live in a trailer under a bridge by an urban slum. Why don't they if money doesn't truly give them happiness?The rich give just enough away to charities, etc. to keep themselves in the headlines and I'm certain the amounts they give correspond to the tax write off they ca

For some lottery winners jackpot is a 'nightmare'Reply
It really would be simple...A. Have a plan beforehandB stick to it.That's it.Consider what it means to live within your means, then plan on extending that into retirement... doing that could set you up for life as you know it minus a job... Also consider retirement, and healthcare... I had looked into comprehensive plans that would run you 1,600 a month as a family, but would be 100%, not the 80/20 split most employers offer.Once you have been around the block, you can ask yourself how much fun

Pick 3 is Rigged in OhioReply
I don't know if we can come to an understanding or not. At some point I feel as though this whole mess got out of hand. As it has in the past when I first joined the lottery post.

Some information about PowerballReply
Lottomike powerball and megamillions was initially set up because the people in America wanted a game who's jackpots would grow from draw to draw. So they put it together. After some time the people complained that the pots weren't big enough so they changed the game to favor bigger pots by changing the game (added more balls) the odds were also increased. The people were satisfied once again that the pots were growing. As the popularity of the games grew so did the amount of players. So in fact

Wisconsin Lottery switches to computers to select winning numbersReply
OK hears my take on RNG's. Say you have an RNG system in place. You have a central computer that spits out tickets random and people's choices. The data is stored on the central computer of all the numbers selected that day for pick 3, 4, and 5, drawings. The draw time is approximately 30 minutes after the cut off point. Now you have 30 minutes to doctor the rng to pay out a percentage of the take. The rng generator can receive a code or accept a program that will deselect any given amount of nu
