Pick-Quickpick QuestionReply
Good morning! FYI: I have sent an email to the Texas Lottery requesting information on random number generators and QP generation. Basically, I posed two general questions: 1. Are the on-line lottery terminals located at hundreds of convenience stores in Texas random number generators capable of generating quick picks on demand. If true, how often are these hundreds of RNGs checked to ensure that combinations they generate are truly random. 2. Are quick picks generated at a centralized

D.C. fines lottery operator $1.4M in ticket scamNews Story
GTECH Corp., the operator of many government lotteries worldwide, was fined $1.4 million by the District of Columbia this month over charges that its subcontractors or a partner firm hacked into the district's lottery system and printed winning tickets for themselves two years ago.

$1M Wisconsin lottery ticket sold on 'Miracle Mile'News Story
On New Year's Day, Phil Moses was atop a ladder, putting some big news up on the marquis outside Ma Pa's Grocery Express in Fond du Lac, Wisconsin. Another winning $1 million lottery ticket was sold at the legendary little store located at 506 S. Main St., along a strip dubbed The Miracle Mile. I don't want to sound arrogant, Phil quipped, but I seriously don't understand why people buy lottery tickets at any other location. A $100,000 winning ticket was also sold at Pick 'n Sa

CBS publishes second hatchet job on lotteryReply
said that I think the statement that blacks are being manipulated is not only wrong, but insulting. Also, the new article mentions POOR PEOPLE, NOT RACE. The amount of money you have is not a race issue, and I'm not about to make it one. I have no idea where you get your statistics from, because I don't think you're using any. The actual statistics of winning ticket distribution consistently show that there is no bias against any particular geographic or socio-economic areas. It is comp

Delaware Lottery publishes winner pictures -- sort ofNews Story
The Delaware Lottery takes pride in their privacy policy, only publishing winner names with their consent. To make the point, while still showing a real winner behind the story, the lottery takes the winners' pictures, but has each winner hold up a mask over their face. With a busy month of August, including sixteen people winning prizes of $10,000 or more, the Delaware Lottery has a lot of anonymous pictures to take. The result is a collage that could make even the stodgiest of us chuckle

Despite dire predictions, Net gambling not changed by new U.S. lawNews Story
John Brokopp Courier-News When President George W. Bush signed the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act in October, many reports gave the impression it sounded like the death knell for the multibillion-dollar Web-based gambling industry. On the contrary, all it did was strictly regulate the process by which funds are transferred from users of the sites to the offshore companies which own and operate them. The practice itself wasn't declared illegal. Reputable foreign companies wh
