There are several factors that contribute to this phenomenon in my country: - *Accessibility and Marketing*: Lottery tickets are often more accessible in lower-income areas, with more retailers and prominent advertising. This can make it more likely for people in these areas to buy tickets. - *Financial Stress*: People in lower-income areas may feel more financial stress and see the lottery as a way to escape their financial difficulties. This can lead to more frequent purchases. - *

Let me see if I can get this straight. Your claim is: 1) if the lottery did a simple random number drawing, they would not make money, and 2) because they are using a pattern, this is what does make them money. Both of those claims are wrong. 1) The lottery pays out either 500-1 or 600-1 for a pick 3 straight, which has a 1 in 1,000 chance of winning in a fair drawing. Do some math. This paytable gives the lottery a significant profit margin. 2) If they are using a pattern and you w

Impact of "Free Money" on Lottery Spending
During the Covid Era and the ensuing Stimulus Checks, there was arguments that the free money was driving lottery sales and the massive jackpots that we saw. Fast forward 2026 - with the One Big Beautiful Bill Act and the Tax incentives - no taxes on over time and tips etc, and with the Tax season almost coming to an end, are we likely to see increased spending on the lottery from the Tax Refunds ? It's the first time in 3 years that I have had a tax refund, I am always paying extra taxe

Money and the Crime of KidnapingReply
The Dee Dee Moore and Abraham Shakespeare friendship, was bizarre. I get that Abraham was concerned when he realized a huge chunk of his lottery winnings was gone, but why trust some random woman claiming that she'll help, you hold on to your dwindling lottery winnings? Why not put the dwindling lottery winnings into a trust that can't be withdrawn from for a set amount of years? Sadly, Dee Dee didn't help, Abraham hold on to his dwindling lottery winnings and instead embezzled his dwin

Sure. It's definitely possible that The Florida Lottery changed the percentage of net sales allocated to the winners prize pool. (50%) They could have even changed the percentage of the winners prize pool allocated to the top prize. (62%) But that's not what they did or what happened at all. From reading Fantasy5's Official Rules I didn't see any percentages that changed when the midday drawing was added. It's also true that net sales for FF5 could be down in general these days due to player

As hard as I might try to disguise the fact that just one player won five times (10 million dollars) by buying five separate one line tickets at five different stores located in three different county's, I have to believe The Fla Lottery would suspect something was up if it actually happened. First of all, FIVE two million dollar winning tickets sold in Florida in a single PB drawing??? That doesn't happen much if it's ever even happened at all in the past, which I doubt. There was one winne

You're never going to win.
