North Carolina Lottery celebrates 15th anniversaryReply
I don't believe for a minute that they pay out .95 on every $ in prizes and the money now days goes in the general fund earmarked for education (yeah right). Anyone that plays NC knows they are as crooked as the pandemic has been long. We did not have trips for a FULL YEAR! Then they started red ball last month for a second rigged (pre-recorded) drawing and dropped 3 trips in one month and we had trip 1's 3x in 3 weeks. Meanwhile, we have not had trip 9's in 4 YEARS (March 1, 2017). Wish w

Fortune cookie gives Florida player a lucky breakReply
he does not want anyone else using his full set of numbers Then he should stop playing numbers he got from a fortune cookie, because a lot of other people got cookies with the same set of numbers. The only question is how many people played those numbers, and for what game(s). There's a pretty good chance that other people also won the same prize but either they didn't tell the lottery how they picked their numbers or the lottery didn't think they needed to have a press conference about it.

Delaware man "Spare Change" wins $1 million in Maryland LotteryReply
You are forgetting one crucial point. It never said any where in the story that the man was homeless. The 3rd and 4th paragraphs: Spare Change stopped at the 7-Eleven convenience store on Coastal Highway in Ocean City to buy his usual rounds of tickets on his way to work, where he ensures that the amusement machines are up and running for visitors to enjoy. Almost every hotel has a game room, and there's bars, restaurants and boardwalk too, he explained in a news release. If there's a

"Lottery Lawyer" Jason Kurland charged with robbing jackpot winners of millionsReply
The lottery winners paid between $75,000 and $200,000 in upfront payments to hire Mr. Kurland and his law firm, according to court papers. Mr. Kurland then charged monthly fees of between $15,000 and $50,000 . I've always figured that those claiming on behalf of winners and putting their names out there for the public would have to deal with the annoyances the winners would avoid by concealing their own identities, and they deserve to be compensated for that. At the same time I've always be

Amazon uses this lottery puzzle as a brain-teaser for intervieweesReply
I instantly thought of that solution as I read the problem but then I came up with another solution. It depends on the urns and if you have to mix the balls up. If the urns are shaped right and you don't have to mix up the balls you could put half the blue balls in the bottums of both urns and then put half the red balls on top in both the urns. If the balls cant move around then you have a 100% chance of picking a red ball off the top of each urn! My answer would depend on the

Michigan woman learns she won $5M lottery prize while scrolling FacebookNews Story
A woman from Grand Rapids, Michigan, says she had no idea she'd won a $5 million Lotto 47 prize until she was on Facebook the night after the drawing. I usually only buy Lotto 47 tickets when the jackpot gets over $10 million, said the player, who chose to remain anonymous. When I was at the store, I saw the jackpot was only at $5 million, but I decided to get a ticket anyway. The night after the drawing, I was scrolling through Facebook when I saw a news station had posted that someone
