Federal authorities investigating illegal NJ 'lottery' pool, sources sayReply
A spokesman for the U.S. Attorney's Office in Newark did not return a call for comment. Asked to comment on the probe, a spokeswoman for the FBI in Newark said, The FBI can neither confirm nor deny the existence of investigations. And Despite knowledge of the pool and how it works, everyone who spoke with the Journal said they are not aware of who manages it or where it is based. Also, they all claimed to be unaware if the organizer takes a percentage of the pool. Something seriously

Interesting statement
This is an article about someone who retired at 34 with $3M. I just found the opening sentence quite interesting. Many people have negative views on young retirees: They're spoiled. They're lazy. Their parents helped them. They won the lottery. But none of these things apply to me. https://www.msn.com/en-us/money/retirement/i-retired-at-34-with-dollar3-million-%e2%80%94-here-are-5-downsides-of-early-retirement-that-no-one-tells-you/ar-AADlTF6?li=BBnb7Kz ////////////////////////////

Former tribal lobbyist named as new California Lottery directorReply
You're the one annoying people and starting conflicts by using a 'highlighter' I did not know that was against the rules. Is not including the text I'm replying against the rules too? I'll never read a post of yours again Said like a true 12 5-year-old! But you'll read my posts, just like the last dozen times you said the same thing. That's why you're really here, isn't it? I'm here for the tools I can use because I have a Premium Membership and enjoy discussing lottery gam

Lottery winner can seek bigger prize at trial, judge rulesReply
Which rule If the prize goes unclaimed by the deadline, according to the Mega Millions website, each participating state in the Mega Millions game will get back all the money that state contributed to the unclaimed jackpot. States set their own priorities on how they spend that unclaimed prize money And it sure looks like the Hot Lotto prize Shaw tried claim for Tipton's trust was defined as an unclaimed prize and distributed among the participating states. the prize money the lotter

Tinkermen Lotto Report - General Explanation of Mathematical Discovery neededReply
Not shocked at all. Statistical systems already identify the percentages in the overall matrix and compare those to the game data.... classical vs empirical probability....what should happen vs what does happen. Not through reading, but I haven't found anything surprising, shocking or unique about what you're doing. Maybe the terminology is unique but not original. We've known about doubles, triples and quads a long time. You'll find them mentioned throughout Lottery Post for all the ga

Colorado man who unwittingly split a $4.8M jackpot with scammer is fighting the Colorado LotteryReply
The article states that In 2005, three people won a Colorado Lotto jackpot worth $4.8 million, and Boulder's Amir Massihzadeh held one set of winning numbers. He accepted his prize of $568,990 after splitting the pot and paying taxes and moved on with life. If $4,800,000 divided by three is $1,6000,000 and the federal tax rate for 2005 was 35% and the Colorado income tax rate was 4.63%, then $1,600,000 x 35% = $560,000 4.63% = $74,080 Total taxes due = $634,080 which should have

What are the basic patterns of a lottery of numbers?Reply
Interesting thought, but probably not true since the people running the lotteries use much of the same information to prove the games are random. If any of the natural patterns that can't be designed away, such as even/odd, high/low, number distribution, climbed above or dipped below the norm, any laughter would become serious concern as we see in this article...... lottery-numbers-broken-system-identical-drawings-controversy/1863102002/ (If you read far enough there is a Lottery

$750 MILLION: Powerball lottery jackpot surges to 4th-largest everReply
I stumbled across an article listing the # of PB winners from the various states and found this: Statistically speaking, every ticket has the same chance of winning - 292,201,338 to 1 - no matter where it s sold. Ranking the luckiest states for Powerball is a bit complicated. The game made its debut in 1992 in 15 states. At the time, the odds were 55 million to 1 and the jackpots started at $2 million. The initial 15 states included: Delaware, Iowa, Idaho, Hoosier (Indiana), Kansas, Ken

New Football League Starts Tonight
The AAF https://www.yahoo.com/sports/theres-new-football-league-starting-weekend-whos-aaf-will-watch-160821225.html From the Rules section of the article Some other rules: No kickoffs.
