Poll - RNG, auditors and game fraudReply
Auditors are supposed to be INDEPENDENT of the entities they're auditing. They work for public accounting firms, not their clients. The auditor of the TLC must have been an internal auditor, but obviously the internal auditing function of the TLC is ineffective if he can get fired for revealing information like that.

Let the chips fall where they may.

Texas Lottery worker is fired after e-mailReply
I would have fired him too. A senior person and doesn't know how to get information out to the public without implicating himself. He either wanted to be caught, or is dumber then dirt. He is the type who likes to play dodge-em-cars, on I40!

Powerball Jackpot Grows to $180 MillionReply
I too really don't get fired up for records to be set. When it happens it's cool, but if it doesn't oh well. I mean really, I would be just as happy winning a 15 million dollar jackpot as I would be a 180 million dollar jackpot. But then, that's just me I guess. =)
