No more Doubles to worry about! FridayReply

Breakfast buddies file suit over lottery ticketReply
You're definitely right about the lack of info. It seems the reporter didn't think to ask many questions of the lottery department or the plaintiffs. The defendant probably shouldn't have answered many questiona even if they were asked.As for the proof issue, a lawyer working a civil case on contingency may be willing to press a case that isn't really strong in the hopes that the defendant will offer a settlement that makes the lawyer's time worthwhile, and , maybe we're just looking at it from

The positive cash flow systemReply
I will jump in here and talk about gambling in general as well. I totally agree with a lot of things being said on here. The house edge in casino gambling is there, regardless. Same with lotteries, be it either online or at the state lottery terminals. That is the reason they are in business. As a whole, the house will win in the end, but that doesn't necessarily mean that EVERYBODY will lose in the long run. You have to use successful money management methods, very sound basic strategy in all

Newspaper takes a hard look at the N.J. LotteryReply
This Star-Ledger Investigative Report is a rehashing of the same old stuff. Yes...poor people are more interested in winning money than the rich are. Yes it can be argued that the concept is regressive ...however it is erroneous to refer to the Lottery as a form of regressive taxation. As defined by Webster's Dictionary...A Tax is a levy imposed by the state... That's the catch, the Sate is not imposing the Lottery Games on the poor, middle class or the rich. It is voluntary.
