Arizona Lottery director not embarrassed about computerized drawing fiascoReply
Seems pointless to focus on the credentials of the AZ Lottery director. Party affiliation and all that is even more silly. Of course he's PR driven. Most executive directors are; mouthpiece of the agency. Much of the decision making is coming from elsewhere, in particular, lottery consultants and vendors that perform much of the day to day operations of the lottery. Players aren't going to effect much, if any change, barring some organized actions (protests, boycotts, etc) that potentially en

Florida Lottery temporarily suspends daily drawingsReply
While understandable with the storm track showing it possibly affecting Tallahassee, it doesn't inspire much confidence in Florida lottery operations. Do any states have backup drawing centers? And/or partnering agreements with other states for emergency drawings? I know some states do partner up for regular drawings, so this is feasible and something Florida should consider for the future. What's more worrisome is Powerball is also drawn in Florida. Fortunately, the next scheduled Powerba

Avoiding Scams with Store EmployeesReply
That's very unfortunate, sorry to hear that happened to you. In FL this kind of chicanery is commonplace enough to yield multiple retailers/employees getting caught by the FL Lottery sting operations, which I'd imagine accounts for only a very small subset of the general malfeasance that occurs at many of these retailers. You just never know. The ones who do it right will have the FL Lottery screen/display right out front and turned toward the customer, so they can clearly see each winning t

Lotto 007 Experience and IssuesReply
If you had the program a year and are experiencing problems lately, it might be caused by an update. (Something has had to change if you used it a year and are just now experiencing problems.) As far as not allowing a free upgrade read the fine print. Most software has a disclaimer entitling the buyer to any new releases or upgrades during the calendar year purchased. Its not something we want to agree with, but in this case the seller/owner makes the rules. (In most cases you're lucky if the

British Columbia Lottery taking bets on US electionReply
Read today where our Governor issued an executive order firing one of his cabinet members. The definition of executive order pretty much answers most of your questions. The short answer is Presidential executive orders are used to manage Federal Government operations. Many EOs are for the Defence Department and armed forces. Here is a disposition table that might help you better understand the purpose. They can be amended, revoked, or supersede too. Number 5: Obama has less EOs than any two t

Illinois Lottery sales lowest in two yearsReply
From this, it is apparent the STATE OF ILLINOIS is up to same old Bull#$#*. Question? When are you in a State that has corrupt politicians??? Ans. When you're in ILLINOIS. Attorney Thomas Zimmerman said the state's withholdings of winnings is illegal. The Illinois Lottery Act requires a priority of payments. The first priority is that prizewinners get paid. They get paid first. After they're paid, then the money can be used to fund the operations of the lottery, Zimmerman said. The sta

Driven to death by phone scammersNews Story
The phone calls wouldn't stop. The man on the other end of the line made promises of a big payoff: millions of dollars in prize money. But first the IRS needed $1,500 in taxes, he insisted, then the jackpot would arrive at the family home, a camera crew ready to capture the excitement. The calls came a couple of times a day; other times, nearly 50. Mr. Albert, we need the money to be sent today ... Don't hang up the phone, Mr. Albert ... Mr. Albert, don't tell your wife about this
