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

Straight-only option for Prediction PagesReply
I certainly consider all suggestions, but my feeling is that offering different betting options to the predictions would change the intent of the page, even if individuals would be happy with the increased options. The page is intended as a level playing field, where every bet is equal, allowing optimum comparisons between predictors.I do not want the page to turn into something where different statistics are disputed because someone contends that they bet differently, and so they were slighted

Do you think that there is no possibility of changing minds of the lottery directors? If everyone takes that attitude, then we will certainly be destined for computerized drawings, but personally I refuse to take that attitude. Contrary to some pessimistic people, I believe if we stick together

Hi Ohio! I'm your new Lottery Director.
Rolling Cash 5:In the recent string of new jackpot-driven 5/39 games (IL's new Little Lotto and MI's Fantasy 5), this one is the only one with a fair payday for 4 out of 5. In other words, it needs no changing.Super Lotto Plus:O.K. This needs changing. 3 out of 6 gets butkus in this game (except when they do that promotion in which 3/6 gets a free ticket). At least with New York Lotto you get $1 in real money. There needs to be changes.1. The bonus ball will only be good for the 5/6 + Bonus priz

MO Lottery - a la Jimmy
Draws: Exactly the way they were, with balls. But keep the midday drawings for Pick 3 and Pick 4Pick 3 Pick 4: Definately the gold standard in my opinion. A bigger variety of ways to play, and a 60% payout. Changing it would be a sin to the lottery gods.Show Me 5 Paydown:Scale it back from a 5/44 to a 5/39. And make it pari-mutuel (because that's the proper way you do a rolldown game). Here's the pay scale.With a Match 5 Winner:Match 5 - 25% - Approx. $75,000Match 4 - 25% - Approx. $500Match 3
