Why don't we have a federal national lottery in the US?Reply
Just the other day I said it wouldn't be long before politics began appearing in lottery topics this election cycle. For the record the total U.S. lottery sales is about $70 billion a year and about 40% of that is returned to the players. If your National Lottery matched those figures, you'll get about $42 billion or 0.2% to contribution to the deficit.

What is the BEST and What is the WORST of LP?Reply
You're welcome, Sherita. Just for the record, I visit the GA. threads often. I see if anyone on the thread has something close to what I have in my workout before I made a 2 1/2 hr. trip to play it.

The pool you a part of wins the Powerball jackpot : The only problem is...Reply
Are you saying something about pools? I led one during the record-breaking PB jackpot. Never again. I should have billed the pool for the expenses I incurred. Solo for me, no more pools.

A crazy lottery storyReply
I've had the printer jam on me countless times. It can be a nightmare if running a lot of play slips, but its essentially just a matter of figuring out which ones printed or did not print. But in the particular case you describe, if production and delivery of your quick pick ticket is contingent upon some technician being able to pinpoint and extrapolate an internal computerized record, I'm guessing your chances are slim to none. I never encountered this particular scenario so I maybe I'm wrong.

$1M winning lottery ticket sold in Wisconsin goes unclaimedReply
Most newer security systems record on a re-recordable hard drive which has a 7-day memory capacity. After 7 days passes, it records over what happened 7 days before. So, it wouldn't have any recording from 180 days in the past. People who buy lottery tickets just have to take better care of what they do with their tickets!

Time for Mega Millions to changeReply
I beg to differ. Leave the mm alone. Look at the odds. I live in Philadelphia and when PB was at that record people were fighting. Fighting over a machine. Seriously. The people that run powerball should take it back to where it used to be and go from there. Perhaps ask some of the other members what they think.

Texas: 3/1 - 3/31/2016Reply
No need to apologize. Ignore the negativity. We love you!! You're great at predicting and have a great track record to prove it. Only the haters that suck at predicting feel the need to voice their negativity. It's my birthday month 3/14 so I'm looking to cash in on those doubles and I haven't seen anyone predict doubles better than you.

Right now there have been 12 rollovers with 465 mill in ticket sales and the advertised JP is 266 mill with a cash value of 176 mill. The last run after 14 rollovers was 255 mill with a cash value of 158 mill and there had been 443 mill in ticket sales. Where are you getting the ticket sales numbers?
