CBS publishes second hatchet job on lotteryReply
It doesn't matter whose sand-box this is. We both have equal abiltiy to speak our minds. You said your opinion, and I said mine. Don't get upset and start implying you are being silenced or anything just because I put up a good argument. I never said that there is no corruption at state lotteries. That would be pretty dumb if I did, considering the number of corruption stories I've published here in the past. I said that I think the statement that blacks are being manipulated i

Tenn. Lottery says duplicate numbers drawn were legit; can we be sure?Reply
from the article: Kym Gerlock, vice president of communications for the Tennessee Lottery, said the reappearance of number 940 was random chance. It was not an error. It's rare, but it does happen, Gerlock said. Each drawing is a totally separate instance and one is not related to another. __________________________________________ And so the dance begins ... It's rare, but it does happen. What she should have said is, It's rare but it does happen here, and in

Engineer reported bad Tenn. Lottery computerized drawsReply
from the article: Lemmonds, who said he does not play Cash3 or Cash 4, said he just hopes the problem is fixed as it impacted many players. I can't say I was surprised, he said, adding he hopes a similar problem does not occur again. ____________________________________ It's a pretty sad commentary when someone who doesn't even play the daily games notices the same anomalies we see in these faux drawings. Unfortunately, we know with relative certainty that this will hap

It Is very very Easy To Win!!Reply
Here's an article I found which talks about this secret scam. Can a leather briefcase containing 10 CDs, MP3 player (supposedly preloaded with 15 hours of instructions), 15 lessons (500+ pages) on starting the Internet Business, action planner, compact vision boards (whatever they are) and a $500 gift certificate be worth $1,995? Granted, $500 certificate maybe worth just that (depends where you can use it). Unfortunate part is that this so called gift certificate cannot be used at Macy

Interesting info re: Illinois Selling lottery
This is part of an e-mail regarding Illinois selling the lottery, it covers several things that are constantly discussed here, read on (bolding, colored text, mine) THE other day I saw a headline indicating that Illinois was about to get out of the lottery business. Having made my living for the past decade exploiting lottery winners and recently having repented my ways I hoped the state had simply grown tired of profiting from its citizens weaknesses. But as I read the artic

Mass. Lottery officials concerned about big revenue dipReply
One of the most interesting parts of this article was the following: The steepest decline was in Mega Millions sales, which were off nearly 48 percent. (Note: The timeframe under discussion is the first five months of the state s fiscal year, which would be July through November.) Looking back at the size of jackpots: 2005 $315 million $250 million $170 million (last 7 draws for this run)
