Cratering lottery revenue is bad luck for NJ state worker pensionsNews Story
There's a new cause for concern about New Jersey's chronically underfunded public-worker pension funds sagging state Lottery revenues. That's something of a double whammy for one of the nation's worst-funded state retirement systems, which has seen investment returns plummet precipitously during the coronavirus pandemic. So far this fiscal year, Lottery revenues, which serve as a dedicated source of funding for the pension system, are down more than 12% compared with the same period last y

Ohio Senate bill includes privatizing lotteryNews Story
Critics say gaming corp. drafted language The Ohio Senate's latest version of the state budget bill includes language to privatize the Ohio Lottery that is nearly identical to legislation drafted by a gaming company hoping to manage the $2.5 billion agency's day-to-day operations. The language, drafted by GTECH, an industry giant that once ran the Ohio Lottery's back-office operations, was added to the massive budget bill virtually unchanged and without any public hearing. The inclusion of

Ohio Lottery director under scrutiny for equipment debacleNews Story
A year ago, Ohio Lottery Director Michael A. Dolan persuaded skeptical lawmakers to buy $11.6 million worth of equipment to launch the state's new Keno game on a promise that the setup would still work after a year a premise that Dolan later admitted was false. Now, as Dolan prepares to ask the same legislative panel to approve a $41 million contract with a company to run Keno and other lottery games for the next two years, the director's own dubious promises could return to haunt him.

2026 lottery headlines you hope to seeReply
Yes. Claim an ongoing investigation for 4 years. Lol Oldest trick in the book. Ghislane was sentenced in 2022. Yet the Trump Administration was expected to advertise and bid a contract with a vendor to set up an online searchable database, hire many new attorneys to review the documents and redact sensitive info in millions of documents in a year. And have a second higher level of review. You do know this process is not handled in house with a DOJ paralegal in the basement doing this work???

Court rejects Colorado man's claim to full $4.8M lottery jackpot he unwittingly split with scammersReply
I can't see the State Supreme court telling the lower courts that they were in error with their decisions. There's a reason we have higher courts to appeal to. Courts aren't reluctant to overturn cases when lower courts have made incorrect rulings on the law, so it depends on the arguments made by Massihzadeh's lawyers. If they didn't argue that the contract should be invalidated then the court wasn't considering that when it issued the ruling. OTOH, if his attorneys argued that the contrac

beware the Georgia COAM video gaming, Nudge machinesReply
It is presumed there is an agreement or contract. But THE store AND GEORGIA lottery DO NOT GIVE INFORMED CONSENT TO THE CONSUMER THAT THIS IS NOT The Georgia lottery BUT IS THE store's AND THAT THE MONEY Is NOT THE GEORGIA lottery's BUT THE store's ONCE THE CONSUMER SPENDS IT IN in Nudge machines. Otherwise, you might be playing obliviously thinking the Store is happy you are winning and rather under assumption is making money too, when you are winning. To me it is questionable

Florida Lottery sued by House over contractReply
Scott's a crook, so I'm a-okay with people not rubber stamping any contracts he feels should be automatically approved. Even if he didn't have a history of shady dealings, his spokewoman's response makes no sense, and is a personal attack instead of a reasoned rebuttal. In the first place, why is it an insult to be a trial lawyer?In the second place, it doesn't matter how robust the sales of tickets are at the moment, if the law says a contract cannot be entered into that exceeds a set budget, t
