If you knew the numbers before the drawing?Reply
Here's what it says at the end of the story : Lottery immediately went to DefCon 4 , and checked all their firewalls and security systems to make sure that this [in context meaning an unautorized advance access of the winning numbers] couldn't happen . Just the phrasing of that statement alone seems to imply that an authorized advance access of the winning number CAN happen! Except that's from somebody's comment to the actual story, and includes their misinterpretation of the phrase, thi

Idaho's biggest lottery winner knew he would winReply
Ok Coin Toss, I get you don't like Obama. Thats fine. You're entitled to your opinion. But quite a bit of that stuff you posted is more like tabloid/personal attack nonsense. *First President to apply for college aid as a foreign student, then deny he was a foreigner. This one was funny, I hadn't seen it before. This claim is from a fake AP news article citeing information released by Americans for Freedom of Information, a group that didn't exist at the time. The college aid he supposedly

Do you REALLY expect to win?Reply
Well FARASHAN my good LP poster, your statement is slightly unique in its perspective.....the USA, as you put it, did not put some of the money towards education. The taxpayers from various INDIVIDUAL states VOTED for it to be contributing part of the proceeds to the educational system... thats the beauty of our country, its left up to the individuals in a state to decide what they will do with their lottery money and not some some central government telling everyone how much to give and when to

Lawyer gives up $14 million Iowa lottery ticket claimReply
What's even more interesting is a report this evening about how the trust had been established AFTER the lottery drawing had taken place, meaning this investment trust was more than likely established for the sole purpose of shielding the lottery proceeds, meaning it wasn't established earlier by someone rich as a general investment trust the lottery win just happened to be something they'd add to an already large pot of cash. We've had many discussions about creating a trust so the winner

Iowa Lottery security chief to grill NY lawyer over Hot Lotto ticketReply
I couldn't remember exactly where it was, but I do remember it was duplicate tickets printed off lottery computer system and printers. They were wating until the time had almost expired to claim the money, just in case the REAL winner showed up with the REAL ticket. But because of that case, now anyone who shows up very late undergoes extra scrutiny. For a multi-state prize like Mega Millions or Powerball, pulling off something like that would be harder. They probably have more safeguards in

Are pre-draws corrupting your lottery strategy ?Reply
what we need is an independent audit looking into why governor Bev Perdue borrowed out of the state lottery fund given how this was supposed to be out of bounds for this kind of intervention. Every President since LBJ with the exception of Obama (there was no money left) has borrowed money from Social Security. If our city, county, state, and Federal governments don't stop their spending sprees, there will be no money left to steal borrow. Then why do soooo many players believe that the

Are pre-draws corrupting your lottery strategy ?Reply
I suspect unsuspecting people who play triples for long periods of time don't cry when it comes out in a pre-test. If they are that unsuspecting they likely don't check the pre-tests since they know pre-tests don't pay. People do play favorite numbers all the time. I used to play 128. Knew an old guy who put .50 on 303 straight, every day. No particular reason. It was his favorite number. People do that. They play numbers of the road they travel, their area code, social security number, etc.

Pa. couple claims $128 million Powerball jackpotReply
This is not factual. The annuity is funded when you win, so regardless of how bad Obummer drives up the deficit and Congress can't pass a balanced budget, any lottery winner receiving annuity payments will still get paid. The question though if the US goes broke is will those annuitants really want to continue to live in the US? I know I wouldn't. Now if Obummer sought to have government take over the actual funds of lotteries like the government controls Social Security, then this point wou
