Arkansas Lottery officials sign contract with Camelot for business planReply
Arkansas selling Lottery tickets since 2009 and now wants to sign a contract with a UK lottery consultant firm? That's a generous incentive compensation of at least 12.5% above $72.28 Million of their lottery's adjusted operated income, in a fiscal year , and 13.75 % of income between $80-$90Million,and 15% above adjusted operating income above $90M without seeking bids? The declining lottery incomes may not be helped with this consultant. It might just be an economic cultural reacti

Pennsylvania Lottery seeking volunteer witnesses on evening drawing showReply
Todd, It's ok to have a different view on this. Getting volunteers to to participate in various social situations is always great. As I stated before and I will stand by,is that volunteers do cost something to have on hand. I personally don't want any volunteer as a witness representing the public interest by helping to ensure the integrity and security of our drawings as your main article suggests. Congrats to them to having no issues for 30 + years. That is no guarantee for the future. A

Excellent Money AdviceReply
That's just an idiot. You don't have to be an idiot to to do things that are idiotic. Not to say the guy might not be a complete moron who still doesn't get it, but thinking you're immune just because you think you're smart (and might be right) is one of the things that can get you in trouble. The more you think it can't happen to you, the more at risk you are. On top of that, few people even bother to do the math. It may be nice to fantasize about a $20 million private jet, a $10 millio

ANN / Percep-Lotron
Dear Stoopendaal, I am glad to see that you are working on a new application which you call ANN or Percep-Lotron. I very much hope you are using more than 1 neural layer in the software. Ideally you should use at least 5 or 6 neural layers in the software. There is an article in the English version of Wikipedia with the title Perceptron. It details the reasons for using more than 2 feedforward neural layers in any software that is used for linear prediction functions. The

NC lottery winner spent $9M bailing out convict fiancéReply
According to the news reports I read, a bondsman bailed him out. We don't know for sure, but I'd be willing to bet that Ms. Holmes secured the services of that bond agency. A N. Carolina bondsman can charge up to 20% of the bond amount, which in these two amounts in total would be $1.8 million. She won't get that money back, that's the bond agency fee, just like a pawn shop or a bank charges interest on the use of their money. Bonding is a little different than a bank, which normally requires so

But it's always... (fill in the blank)
Here's an interesting stat from a recent Atlantic article about lotteries (it's not pro-lottery but does provide some interesting information): But it's true: According to the North American Association of State and Provincial Lotteries, lotteries took in $70.1 billion in sales in the 2014 fiscal year. That's more than Americans in all 50 states spent on sports tickets, books, video games, movie tickets and recorded music sales. The national average hides a lot of variance among the

Court rules grandmother, 90, will receive $1.85 instead of $41M jackpotReply
The manufacturer of the game, had previously issued a bulletin that the game might show an erroneous bonus, with a recommendation to the casino's to disable the bonus option. I call that advance warning, they knew and did nothing. They such have disable the bonus option immediately on notification before offering it for uses for the public. Instead of putting people the casino's through all the drama. So this means lady justice is truly blind not just blindfold. Nothing in this article even sugg

BOMBSHELL: MUSL employee might have rigged Hot Lotto computerized drawingReply
I've been trying to find an article that confirms that it was a QP. I think I read it somewhere, but I'm wondering if I'm just thinking that because the ticket was bought at a place called QuikTrip. Just because it's possible to manipulate the computer that draws the numbers doesn't mean it happened. Based on the info presented, it appears that the only chance he had to manipulate the computer was about 5 weeks before the drawing, so that means anything he did not only had to go undetected fo

Mink, I was reading the online New York Post the other day when I spotted a headline that said Jerry Jones reacts to loss of DeMarco Murray I practically jumped out of my chair when I saw it cuz my immediate reaction was GREAT! Now The Jints don't have to face Murray twice a year!! Can you imagine how deflated I felt when I read in the article that Demarco had landed with the Iggles...... I thought Philly was absolutely nuts when I read they traded LeSean McCoy to Buffalo. Now I know why the
