Missouri Senate to discuss privatizing state lotteryReply
Todd I think it's called outsourcing, anytime I can get something done for $20.00 that cost me $25.00 to do myself I see as a good idea. Sometimes just releaving the headaches of day to day operations can justify the change. RL

understanding odds of winning?Reply
As a machinist i am familiar with the printing process as i have made parts for the machines and seen the operations of them first hand. lottery scratch off books all have a number usually in the lower right hand corner of the ticket depending on the size of the book say a 1.00 dollar book has 50 tickets then the tickets will be numbered 1 through 50 And every book is the same.

Clerk tried to steal $14 million lottery ticketReply
This clerk, for all practical purposes stole 14 million dollars and they are going to determine if any charges will be filed??? There's not much point in filing charges if you haven't got a case. The reason that states that run sting operations wait until the decoy ticket is presented for claim to arrest people is that until the claim is made there's no proof that the ticket was purposely stolen. All we know beyond a reasonable doubt from the information in the article is that McCassell han

Missouri Lottery gives inside view of computerized drawingsReply
I have to admit, the computer talk is beyond me. But it seems like you'resuggesting that you should be able to predict the outcomes. That's the exact opposite of what the Missouri Lottery works to achieve. The goal is to produce secure, fair and random drawings and the system isdesigned to do just that. The computers are secure and not connected to any networks. A true random number generator resides with each system. The drawing process is random for each game within the parameters of that game

A.N.N.'s : SharkyNNReply
Neural Networks is really about information representation, the connections of neurons itself is just expressed as a matrice and it's simple vector calculations to run the net. With lottery numbers, there would be the issue of how you represent each number, would you use a set of six neurons and represent the numbers in binary in which case the neural net essentially makes six 1 or 0 predictions for each number, would you represent each number individually with a neuron thereby avoiding any inte

Ohio Lottery opposes state auditReply
One state which desperately needs a full audit, including undercover sting operations performed on retailers, is New York. There was a TV news program which covered undercover stings on retailers in California. A few, not many, retail clerks would check a ticket. Sometimes if the ticket was a winning ticket, the clerk would say it was not a winner and keep the ticket, cashing it later. California has stiff penalties for such acts of fraud. When caught, the clerks are arrested and the retailer wo

What Is Your Real Profession??Reply
lotterybraker, so sorry to hear about the hardship you've been through. That is an awful lot of operations. I hope that they are in the past now and not a still ongoing thing for you. Thank you so much for what you do here with your contributions and time, it is really appreciated. I am happy to see you involved here because it could have gone the other way. Some people close themselves off after things happen and they don't quite get over them...especially something as life changing as

Proposition 1C changes how California Lottery funds are usedNews Story
Like the lottery games it promises to change, Proposition 1C looks to be a bit of a gamble. The measure could deliver $5 billion to help close the state's staggering $42 billion budget gap. At the same time, it would ease long-standing rules that some believe have held back the 25-year-old state lottery. Within a few years, however, Proposition 1C may only make the state's financial problems worse, the nonpartisan Legislative Analyst's Office has warned. The proposition, one of six budg
