Texas lottery panel will consider dismissing directorReply
Lee Deviney, the head of the lottery's financial administration office, was fired after sending Greer an e-mail raising concerns about the jackpot for the June 8 drawing. Lottery officials said the firing was unrelated to the memo, but Deviney said last week that he believed that the events were related. I felt like someone was going to suffer, he said, and it turned out to be me. If you bend down over the rail of a railroad track and put your ear to it you can hear a train coming from a long,

Texas Lottery chief may lose job over jackpot snafuReply
Interesting idea, but they would never build in that level of public scrutiny, especially from someone with a record of digging dirt on them.They really just need to fix some key problems, and unfortunately it doesn't look like they're going to accomplish that with the current slate of executives. From Greer's video interview (linked to in a previous Lottery Post news story on this issue), it was clear that he still doesn't see anything wrong with his actions, and he seems indignant to boot. T

Texas Lottery executive had no hint before firingReply
And he certainly isn't looking to sue. Still surprised over his firing, he said he only hoped to get his reputation back and find another job.I'd say the guy knows if he sues nobody's going to touch him with a fork when he's looking for the next job.top agency officials acknowledged that Deviney was fired without having received any written notice of substandard performance.If this is true, the guy has grounds for a lawsuit and will probably win it when the time comes.

Texas Lottery executive had no hint before firingNews Story
Weighing his words carefully when asked if he was the fall guy in the growing scandal over inflated Texas Lotto jackpots, Lee Deviney said only that his dismissal last month from the Texas Lottery Commission came with no prior warning. In any job you have good days and bad, but the majority of time I felt (my bosses) were happy with me, Deviney said by telephone Thursday while vacationing with his family in Colorado.Happy enough, he said, that he was awarded a 4 percent raise last October and a

Indiana, RNGs & Allegations: Time to TestReply
MathWizard, Sometimes, like in the case of California's Daily Derby, an unintended problem exists that the lottery does not know about. In that game, it made certain combinations of numbers impossible to win, while making it easier to win for others. There was no one fired and no one ordered it up at the CA Lottery, but it existed all the same. Denying that such a problem could exist in the Indiana Lottery would be denying that computer programs have bugs. As a computer programmer, yo

trashed ticketsReply
if it is a six # game. It is hard to recognize a winning ticket just by looking.. I drop them all in the machine. The screen on both sides will tell if it is a winning ticket or not..As for scratch offs, I know whether they are winners are not, because I learn the new games as they come in...Down the road where I work, there is a Chevron. My son - in - law went to work there. He witnessed (by video) a clerk there telling a customer his ticket was not a winner. IT was PB.. and then the next da

Hello everyone,I see the media has the folks outside of Detroit all fired up. Since I live in Detroit and own several properties in Detroit, I am well aware of our problems. However, the media will not choose the next mayor for me, or for any of my constituents. I did not vote for Kwame in the first election, but I may vote for him this time, taking into consideration the other choices available. It is very easy to look from the outside and decide what Detroiters should do, but it is another thi

Our Rights are slowly being taken in IndiReply
Last week I had read a article in the chicago tribune where a employer had told his employees that if you smoke...you can't work here. He also mentioned that if you smoke anywhere , as if on vacation or at home(in the basement or bathroom) or just smoke just anywhere...he doesn't want you. All smokers would be fired regardless where or when you smoke. He cited rising health costs that he provides for his employees and said if they didn't smoke they wouldn't get sick and wouldn't have sick da
