GTECH scrutinized in bid for Tennessee lottery contractsNews Story
GTECH Corp., the lottery giant bidding for Tennessee contracts, has been praised for quick startups and leading technology.But the company has also been criticized for aggressive lobbying and a series of missteps in the 1990s that led to the criminal conviction of one employee and culminated in an overhaul of top managers three years ago. I don't think their past record should reflect adversely on ... the present company, although it does require someone to look at them with a little more due di

Run Your Lottery Pools With Ease and Efficiency.Reply
Before I retired, I use to join lottery pools with my associates and the one thing we didn't have was a good contract agreement that everyone understood. When we won over $1000,some of the questions were, was the 28% too much or too little to cover the taxes for the person cashing in the ticket, how much was to be distributed and how much was to be rolled over if the jackpot was not won. If you wanted to play and didn't pay and the pool lost, did you still owe anything or if the pool won, could

D.C. Council poised to repeal online gamblingNews Story
After becoming the first jurisdiction in the nation to legalize online gambling within its borders, the District of Columbia is poised to repeal the program before it launches. The strong backlash on the D.C. Council to the district's online gambling program has little to do with moral opposition to gambling. Instead, councilmembers are upset with the way it became law, saying they didn't realize they had voted to approve it. Councilmember Jack Evans told The Associated Press on Tuesday th

Have you ever wondered why many lottery retailers are owned by members of certain racial minorities?
Here in the Marietta, Georgia area, it has been my observation that a very large percentage of lottery retailers are owned and operated by members of certain minorities, especially people of Middle Eastern descent. I have always wondered why this is the case, haven't you? After all, northeast Cobb is primarily white, very close to or above 90%. I have the answer for you. It is a Georgia law which disenfranchises members of the white majority. If you were to replace the words minority with the

Jason Kurland...JERK! :(Reply
he REALLY didn't do the job he was hired to do for them What was he hired to do? It seems pretty obvious that he represented them with the lottery and acted as the public face of the trusts that claimed the prizes. He probably gave them sound legal and financial advice even if he also gave them some bad advice. Did he put them in touch with any legitimate investment advisors, assuming he was hired to do that? And whatever thing or things he was hired to do, was there a contract to do one bu

$900 MILLION: Mega Millions lottery jackpot raised just hours after initial estimateReply
Responding to two different posts. 1.) Why would I need any explanation, blue said he thought the Jackpot would reach 1 billion before the draw and I said I disagree. Its the equivalent of someone saying they think NY or CA will be the state that wins and me saying again that I disagree. Im not sure where anyone is formulating some crazy theory where I feel like im always right. But to set the record straight I DO NOT THINK I AM ALWAYS RIGHT. Also being wrong in this case isnt a bad thing. So

Deal to let British firm run Pa. lottery still aliveNews Story
The Corbett administration's deal with a British firm to run the Pennsylvania Lottery will remain alive at least for another month. Administration officials said Tuesday that Camelot Global Services had agreed to extend through Aug. 30 its bid to manage the lottery. Corbett's office has sought a series of extensions since state Attorney General Kathleen Kane ruled in February that the lottery deal violated the state constitution. Among other things, Kane said, lawyers on her staff had dete
