Can I get some help with online lottery tax infoReply
There is a precedent. Stack, you were advocating netting your winnings. You want to go for a 1 yr period and calculate whether you had more money than you had at the beginning of the year or less. If you had less, you did not want to report winnings. For that matter, it sounds like you didn't want to report anything. U.S. taxpayers, with the exception of some professional gamblers, are not allowed to net their wins and losses (that is, combine them and report only the total), but must ad

Tennessee Lottery a step closer to restoring real drawingsNews Story
A Tennessee House panel has advanced a proposal to require the state lottery to abandon computerized drawings for its games. House Minority Leader Jason Mumpower, a Bristol Republican, says he sponsored the manual drawings measure in response to a loss in consumer confidence following a computer programming error last year. The glitch prevented duplicate numbers to be drawn for nearly a month. Lottery officials estimate it would cost about $5 million a year to return to drawing numbered

Lottery Post now has Extended Validation certificate
This week marked the completion of a very long, detailed process I've been going through to add an Extended Extended Validation (EV) SSL certificate to Lottery Post. An EV certificate is the highest form of security currently available for Web transactions. In the case of Lottery Post, the certificate is used to secure data transmission during Log In, new user Registration, and on the Change Password page. During all of these times your password is transmitted over the Internet, so the certif

N.Y. takes first step toward lottery privatizationNews Story
New York has taken a step toward privatizing the state lottery. The state's Budget Division has started the process of hiring an independent investment adviser to guide Gov. Eliot Spitzer's proposal. Spitzer wants to open the lottery to private investors, using money made on a potential lease to start and sustain an endowment funding the State University of New York system. Spitzer has said any offer must include at least $4 billion in upfront payments. The Budget Division is seeking a f

Info On RNG'SReply
Predicting winning lottery numbers is going to be hard no matter what, but it is much worse due to the lottery operators and their pre-tests, after all they quit selling numbers at least 30 minutes before the draws, that gives the lottery people 30 minutes, they should quit selling numbers 10 minutes before the draws. This is a common question from lottery players. Why stop selling so early? Lotteries used to sell up until a few minutes before draw time, and then hold the drawing. The P

computerized drawings set to take over the lottery in a few years?Reply
Apparently there were two separate auditors to check the drawings Smartplay International Inc. and Gaming Laboratories Inc., both of which are based in New Jersey (hmmmm....). (Documented here: https://www.lotterypost.com/news/161364) The type of auditor you are referring to, like KPMG, audit the financial side of things, like jackpots, other prizes, distribution of funds, balance sheet, etc. The gaming auditors above are supposed to be able to determine if a drawing machine is operating

happy trip 7's dayReply
I've been wondering how many people in Indiana will waste their money on those numbers. The Hoosier Lottery will likely post record sales for their daily games today but, naturally, they'll pay out virtually nothing. Two years ago, I spoke with a math professor at Indiana University. I asked him what the odds were that our 6/48 lotto game would reach a level of $28 million, given the following parameters: 1). The jackpot does not begin to roll over until after the third consecuti

Last week, he was a guy who drove a Toyota Camry to work trying to convince people they needed to buy pots and pans, a guy whose shtick was mildly amusing -- at best -- to friends, a guy whose own wife said he talked too much.But on Friday, Harold Lerner got to do his shtick in front of hundreds of people and more than a dozen television cameras, knowing he probably had more money than all of them combined. He and his wife, Helen, were introduced at a press conference as the sole winners of a $2
