What's the Purpose of the Printed Time of Purchase on Tickets, If Drawing is 15 min to 1 hr Later?Reply
Surely you jest...... amount of time their computer has to analyze my plays? So now the LSS team is analyzing every play that is recorded? Pray tell, what analysis are they doing? There are probably dozens, more like hundreds of programs and/or systems that produce the same numbers. How do they determine exactly which system is being used when this happens? How do they determine whose picks to analyze? If you had all the information necessary to analyze any set of numbers, a sp

Florida Scratch Offs - Post Pictures if posibleReply

Before making any direct foul play complaints, we should do a little more research. You're right that the ability to mass order books is one advantage, and lottery retailers can also call the warehouse to check to see if there's any returned books on games that are no longer orderable. This potentially allows a retailer a better c
