Tenn. Lottery CEO blames lagging sales on PowerballReply
The lottery board is a farce. I don't know how you get appointed to serve on the board, but one of the qualifications is that you must be willing to play ball . They're supposed to oversee the lottery, but its more like they're in cahoots with them instead. The board approved (for the first time in the lottery's existence) a change in how the bonuses were paid this year...why? So they'd have a better shot at earning it in the face of declining sales, it's now determined on less cut-and-dried met

N.C. lottery turns record profits for stateReply
Some people might disagree but I think that it's the pre-test draws that throw off the numbers in NC pick 3. They have too many draws before the actually number and then after the actual draw they do another pre-test draw. So there's 3 draws before the actual draw, the 4th is the actual draw and then they do one after. 5 draws a day. I don't know how how other states do their pre-tests but something doesn't seem right about how it's done in NC. And I like to see them turn the machine on and

How to Prove Your Lottery IS Fixed?Reply
I don't want to burst your bubble but you were entered into a game that somewhere either on the ticket, their website, or at the stores that sold the tickets. Said if you were chosen as a finalist that you had to fill out a questionnaire, that you had to be present for the final drawing, that your image or likeness would be represented and that you would be a participant in the final drawings goings on. In other words all of you that showed up and completed the necessary forms would be a part

I stand corrected, now there has been another group that won an unusual amount of higher tier prizes that got their numbers from a single source, the TLC Network's broadcast of How the Lottery Changed My Life according this news story: https://www.lotterypost.com/news/163572 Make me wonder why the same things hasn't happened with a group using the same software.

One can glaringly see the level of closed mindedness when reading some of these *opinions*. How unfortunate that whilst we may have freedom of speech , some folks lack empathy or the ability to *forever* hold their peace til they walk in that persons shoes. Its so very easy to judge another actions and think themselves *above* such demeanor. Yet as my grandma used to say: Spit in the wind and you'll see whats on your face. I saw the broadcast and a new level of regard went out to this man. H
