Arkansas Lottery director survives attempted ousterNews Story
The director of the Arkansas Lottery survived an attempt this week to oust him from his job. The Arkansas Lottery Commission voted down a motion to fire Ernie Passailaigue after the lottery director drew a strong rebuke for granting compensatory time off to employees who were exempt from receiving overtime pay. I'm going to let the motion speak for itself, said commissioner Ben Pickard of Searcy, who made the motion after the commission returned from executive session. Pickard and commiss

Vt. Lottery computer glitch creates extra winnersReply
TRUECRITIC: A test of the terminal could be any kind of thing printed and is likely not in a form of a playable ticket, especially the barcode info.. Any kind of printed pattern is a binary response. The tickets were printed on demand, just like a report. A bigger question is the correlation between the error and the Winning set drawn. A very unique event. There are no retractions on the article that a lottery official was misquoted. The man was quoted and it stands. I say the idea th

Vt. Lottery computer glitch creates extra winnersReply
Floyd that is the worst explanation from an expert I ever heard. You re saying the software is the same on the terminals and that is true within a state. The terminals are flexible where they can be upgraded on line and be compatible for new games like Powerball or new state-wide games. No need for a technician to do it onsite. They are too cheap to pay that many people to do a cut-over state-wide. The terminals can be upgraded on-line. You conclude that the terminals having the same software

Enigma Machine for Scratchers
I was scratching two scratchoff games a little while back that won me $20 and $10. The $10 win was from a Bingo style game where there were hidden symbols under a call area and the game grids would actually have the same symbol both above and beneath the latex with the latex simply a convenient means for you to mark the symbols that match. I started thinking about what can I tell about this card before I scratch. There's the obvious, the top prize $75,000 prize would be by having a diagonal i

Jimmy Nerves are fine, just doing the same as you in wasting time taking a few cheap shots. These are the best definitions I could find. Explain where I fall into the gamblers fallacy using the definition taken from the website you refer to most. I do not use deviations from expected behaviour for anything never have never will. Monte Carlo Fallacy or the Gamblers Fallacy #1 The belief that if deviations from expected behaviour are observed in repeated independant trials o

truecritic, The UCSD link you pasted doesn't work for me when I click on it in IE while viewing this page, but I was able to cut/paste it in and access it. Pretty slick little demo! The problem with alternative rules to the game is that it gives those who still can't understand [or can't admit they were wrong] why the player should switch in the original stated problem, a way to muddy the waters and deny it's the correct answer. I know; it caused me to lose a friend over it. The one I lik

(WOW!! After all that time away from LP you haven't changed at all still the same old stubborn) (Visiondude!!!) but, to me, common sense tells me that because it's random, and each ball has the same equal chance to draw, and that negates the possibility of something being due , there is no way one can tell if you play the number 4 in the pick 3, it's gonna hit ..........and when. (Your absolutely correct each number has the same chance of coming up BUT!! they cannot all appear at the

once again, you weren't truthful when you said Jesus never said He raised Himself from the dead, because you know He did. remember, if you have to purposefully lie about something, in order to change it into something you want it to be, you don't have a viable premise. unfortunately for you, the bible repeats the same premise, starting in genesis. and no, there isn't 3 Gods . if there were 3 Gods , then you assertion against the Trinity might have some teeth. 1 God, in 3 persons. no big

You keep asking for proofs on a point and when I reply, you change the topic with new questions. I do not belong or participate in any organization of Christian worship because I cannot stand man s religion mixed with truth. You think I am just loading a post? Notice how many times I double or triple or quadruple bump? Changing the topic through redirection is a trick of the adversary. You want an answer and I document. You don t like documentation and accuse me of many things. You are as antago
