'It was a horrible, horrible crime that I committed,' Jamaican lottery scammer repentsReply
. The whole scam thing sickens me (especially toward the elderly), like you don't know. (Or maybe you do know.) I suspect something in OUR own system has gone (or at least allowed to go) awry. I've seen a lot of mention on Jamaica between the article and comments. But, it's not just Jmca., it's anyone who, living outside of the USA wants to take advantage of USA's freedom, like so many have. Soon, I'm afraid there'll be no more USA. The Declaration of Independence hasn't changed (

Nonlinear regression to predict lotteriesReply
Are those statistics calculated on real tickets you bought, or they calculated on a theorical basis? It is the theoretical performance of my system.

Scotland decision could ride on a lucky lottery ticketReply
Ms. Rowling, a master wordsmith, wrote about the delicate surgery that will be required to sever those bonds, but that wasn't all she wrote. She went on to list other concerns: I'm no fan of the current Westminster government and I couldn't be happier that devolution has protected us from what is being done to health and education south of the border. I'm also frequently irritated by a London-centric media that can be careless and dismissive in its treatment of Scotland. On the other hand,
