Former Anchorage mayor is pushing for an Alaska state lotteryReply
You make a statement as a matter-of-fact, then follow that up by I believe this is true. meaning you have no source upon which to base your statement. That's what I call Feelings, not cold hard facts. Mathematical odds ? I'd like to see your formula for figuring that percentage. 73.6% of all statistics are made up. /sarc off To get to a state that sells lottery tickets (Washington state), Alaska residents would not only have to cross one border (Alaska/Canada) but two (Canada/US bord

Irish lottery site and ticket machines hit by DDoS attackReply
I doubt a consortium of owners that is comprised of Camelot would ignore the savings of streamlining the process. On 3 October 2013, Minister Howlin announced that the government had agreed to sell the National Lottery licence for 405 million to Premier Lotteries Ireland, a consortium comprising An Post, An Post pension funds, and the Ontario Teachers' Pension Plan(owner of the Camelot Group, operators of the UK National Lottery).[9] Dermot Griffin, head of the An Post National Lottery Compa

Are you ready for the attention?Reply
Just in case anyone's curious, I did the math on the Powerball jackpot assuming it stays at $1.3 billion. On the lump-sum payout, I'm using the 57.5% figure as the amount of money a winner would get, pre-tax. And on taxes, I'm using the current tax rate for a single person (as published in this Forbes Magazine article). $451,369,470.25 --- lump-sum, after all Federal taxes $26,052,803.58 ---- yearly annuity payments (30), after all Federal taxes using the current tax rates I

Dutch court rules woman who won lottery during divorce can keep it allReply
A divorce is no different than dissolving any contract and is usually specific on future earnings. True enough, but the marriage contract isn't dissolved until the divorce is final. That there was a court case at all suggests that the applicable law is similar to what we have in the US, and your finances are assumed to be mingled as long as you're still married. Basing the ruling on the apparent fact that they separated their finances well before she bought the ticket makes obvious sense, b

Florida: 12/1 - 12/31/2015Reply
Hi Todd, I am gad you posted I never saw the petition for true lottery drawings before.

So to any of you who have not signed the petition, the link is above on Todd's signature line.

Iraqi's Oregon jackpot raises questions on lottery salesReply
I posted this to the previous article about the Oregon lotto, and yes I did check my source and chatted with someone in the Lotter. And so US laws does not allow its citizen to purchase online why does that courtesy apply to other countries? The LOtter only allows customers to buy if they ARE NOT from the USA. If you try to register from the states you will not able to get pass log in. I don't know why Lottery Post even put their banner to support them if it's only for foreigners and not for

How I missed my $260 millionReply
If you read the lottery post news forum, there is an article there about a similar thing happening to another lottery player. He and his wife always played the same numbers for years. On one fateful day, he drove straight home instead of stopping to play their numbers (even though the wife had reminded him) and that night, their numbers came up. I can only imagine what went through their heads. I'm still surprised the wife didn't leave him. LOL. But they continued playing their numbers and 10 ye

N.C. Powerball winner's fiancé jailed for third time this yearReply
No way? Way! From this article: McDow faces charges of possession of marijuana, possession of marijuana paraphernalia and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon. That was when the cops arrested him for violating the terms of his bond. His original arrest was for drug trafficking. This arrest was for possession of a firearm. While I can't recall the particulars, it seems like the pistol was registered to someone else but his prints were on it, hence the possession charge. I'm sure he

September 2015 PREDRAWS for NC pick3,pick4, cash 5Reply
While I do believe that some states do testing of the machines, I do not believe this is why they do it in NC. Ready my take on this here, 6th post down titled: PRE-DRAW LISTS: https://www.lotterypost.com/thread/293927/2 Also, this article was posted on LP earlier in the week. Wish this would happen here: What do we need to do to get this to happen here NC? A petition to have school staff present at the lottery drawings? After all, NCEL lottery benefits education right? So how could they

Pennsylvania Lottery seeking volunteer witnesses on evening drawing showReply
Paying the witnesses does not solve any of the issues you stated. Also, you and I have no idea that the lottery does or doesn't vet witness to see if they have a criminal background. Maybe you can write to the lottery if that concerns you and let us all know what they say. The sentence you mentioned in your reply was a quotation from the PA Lottery's Executive Director, not something opined by me. Journalism states facts and quotes from actual participants. That is what this article does. I a
