Connecticut Lottery suspends 5 Card Cash sales after retailers found cheatingReply
Posted this in the other thread. But here is how the scam works. This is what i think is the real scam with this game. I noticed a few months ago these tickets started having a bold text warning on the top about verifying the time your ticket was printed. You can get an instant win with this game when its printed for matching a set number of cards.

The feds on Tuesday dismantled an Israeli boiler-room operation that conned elderly U.S. victims out of $25 million by telling them they'd won a sweepstakes lottery.

Why you Will Never win Mega or PowerballReply
I never said it WAS a farce or a scam: my implications were in the eyes of others: others may think it is a scam or a farce, and nothing we can say will convince them otherwise, therefore I said 'it MAY be a scam or a farce (in your/others' eyes)'. Clear as mud ? Yes, nothing can predict it, I certainly could not predict the last two games for sure, but I am close in some respects: a lot of things I say will happen actually do. By that I mean I have my 'data' that will create different

Whoever you are? Thanks....Reply
mark , thank's for your comments. for the record my challenge to tkradio, goldie locks and lottocheetah is more than fair. not by your standards because you believe that the lottery can be predicted by mathematical equations (it cannot). my challenge is fair because the lottery is random and can never be figured out. my challenge is the ultimate test as to whether they really know something or they are ripping people off. you would be right if the lottery could be reduced to a mathematical equat
