How to Prove Your Lottery IS Fixed?Reply
....just like casinos, it's not necessary to stack decks and load the wheel - the odds are already with 'em... just a matter of sittin' back, countin' profit dollars. I was at the MGM casino in Las Vegas a few years back. I happened to be playing their Cherries Jubilee $1 slot machines at about 1:45pm. (little did I know that they were going to run a promotion at 2pm to promote their newly installed slot machines). At this time no one but myself was playing these machines and th

Changes to coincide with addition of Florida in January; Jackpots to start at $20 million Powerball, arguably the world's best known jackpot lottery game, will be making changes to the game with the addition of Florida in January.

Everyone that was interviewed in this article appears to hate the California lottery. You call this unbiased reporting? What a bunch of you know what! This is just more political fallout because of the privatization debate in California where Schwarzenegger wants to sell out the Lottery to

13 State Employees to Share $224 Million Powerball Lottery JackpotReply
Todd, I really have to take exception with you characterizing what happened last year with Powerball as a phenomena. I looked at the Powerball website and the reality is this: In the calandar year of 2005 the jackpot was hit 14 times. (NOTE: That is calandar year and not Powerball fiscal year.) In the calandar year of 2004 the jackpot was hit 11 times. In the calandar year of 2003 the jackpot was hit 12 times. (And please note that due to split jackpots the actual number of winn

How a gaming geek with a checkered past pulled off the biggest lottery scam in U.S. historyNews Story
12-15-18-29-38-41. Eddie Tipton jotted down the numbers on a yellow sticky note as he sat at his desk in Urbandale more than a decade ago. Around him were more sticky notes filled with number sets that he carefully wrote down as they spun up on his computer screen. The numbers were generated by a cryptic two-line software code Tipton had planted in his employer's computer system at the Multi-State Lottery Association. The office building was virtually empty as Tipton ran test after test
