Skill games remain banned in Kentucky after judge dismisses lawsuitReply
Nobody thought this lawsuit would get out of any County Circuit Court and they were correct. These skill games remind me of the players that believe they can win on any ordinary slot machine by smacking the play button. Our legislators took a bold and bipartisan step to protect Kentucky children and families when they outlawed gray machines, But Attorney General Russell Coleman apparently is not concerned with protecting Kentucky families from buying $50 scratch offs or visiting one or

It's nice to see the Colorado Lottery in the news. I've played the 200X game a few times. One time I won $50. He's been playing scratch-off games on and off for a few years, he told the Colorado Lottery, but only when he could afford to . Jonathan will usually stick to the $5 games, recalling that the largest amount he'd ever won was $20. ... I was having a tough sales day , and it actually paid off, Jonathan recalled.

Conspiracy theory!Reply
The lottery has been cheating people for years, but few people ever get caught because they got greedy (like Eddie Tipton). The successful insiders have the patience to track winning scratch-off tickets and claim just a few for themselves (by using straw buyers) while releasing the rest to the general public. Since they only take a few of the winning tickets rather than all of them, it makes it look like a fair game when it is anything but. They also purposely send more winning tickets than usua

The Florida Millionaire Raffle is back!Reply

If there is a frenzy, no harm done. If there isn't one, I figured I'd be better off with more tickets in my hand than not. I stopped in a RaceTrack today and bought ticket number 2984XX. BTW I was shocked when I ordered one Florida Millionaire Raffle ticket and the clerk responded with You want MegaMillions? She had never sold

is it luckier to buy tickets on the rich side of town?Reply
This is a classic question in sociology and applied economics, and the answer is well-documented by demographic studies and market research in the United States (such as data from the Brookings Institution, the Tax Foundation, and various state lotteries). The direct answer is: people from all social classes play, but the financial impact, frequency, and motivation are profoundly different between the poorest and the wealthiest. Here is the breakdown of how lottery consumption
