What if someone interferes ??Reply
Excuse me Barista, but Bank of America s system was hacked midsummer, and I along with millions of their customers were informed via mail of the incident. Nothing is impossible and you can spin it anyway you want. So while I choose to believe what you think is impossible is possible, I ll consider the feat as admirable. OK, Jorli D point taken! But I said the United States Banking System! That means the Untied States Treasury System, since they control the whole Banking system and all transactio

$340 million lottery ticket bought in Oregon gold rush townReply
system, shmystem. There is NO system. People who talk of such things just don't know how it all works. I worked at a TV station in Richmond, VA that televised the Virginia Lottery. We televisied the VA Lotto drawings (before Lotto South) the same night as Big Game (before Mega Millions). All the equipment was locked up in a separate room next to the studio with security like a bank vault -- cameras, sensors, etc. In that room were several complete sets of balls. I repeat, different sets of

Who's laughing now? Jokester is $258 million richerNews Story
Last week, he was a guy who drove a Toyota Camry to work trying to convince people they needed to buy pots and pans, a guy whose shtick was mildly amusing -- at best -- to friends, a guy whose own wife said he talked too much.But on Friday, Harold Lerner got to do his shtick in front of hundreds of people and more than a dozen television cameras, knowing he probably had more money than all of them combined. He and his wife, Helen, were introduced at a press conference as the sole winners of a $2

Sign the petition - eliminate computerized drawings!Reply
This is a contentious topic, to say the least. From the length of the petition thread I can see many people here are firmly against electronic random number generators. So I'd like to play devil's advocate and propose that RNGs aren't such a bad thing after all (now I know how spokespeople for nuclear energy and vivisection feel).Mechanical draws appeal to lottery players for several reasons: they are seen to be fair; people like to root for their numbers; watching the balls provides both tensio

Lottery TaxationReply
Here are my problems with the Fair Tax':1. The actual tax rate is much higher than that advertised by the author of the plan. He claims that only a 23 percent consumption tax rate on retail sales, exclusive of food and medical products, is needed to produce the same amount of revenue as the current tax code. First of all, the tax rate is actually 30 percent since for every 77 cents of a good or service that is purchased, another 23 cents is added on in the form of this national sales tax. I can
