Will 'give away' prize Tesco Ireland, the Irish arm of supermarket group Tesco, is to give away a 500,000 (US$713,000) Euro Millions prize it won by accident on April Fool's Day.

Hello Jimmy, Sorry for the inadverdant slow reponse as my biz activities occupy most of my time keeps me from posting daily. I could never understand the rationale for calling card counting in Blackjack cheating ~Jimmy Frankly it's not just the counting system but any methodology that gives a player a systematic advantage over the game becomes automatically suspect. And it can be St Lebowitz with a halo over his head, if he has found a way to overcome the odds legally or not; the pitt

i am the one that brought up the (lack of) integrity issue, so now i will live up to my own assertions . since i made the claim that i am a doer, instead of a talker , i decided that i needed to prove i was, instead of being thrown on the rest of the pile of talkers in here vs their claims . you know, being willing to actually demonstrate what I believe to be true about the lottery, instead of insisting it's only random, like all these other people in here that keep insisting systems are b

N.C. Lottery spent $11 million on advertisingNews Story
You've seen them and heard them. The cheesy game show character. The singing chorus. The ubiquitous billboards touting a big, life-changing jackpot. No one is immune from the state lottery's advertising efforts. And with good reason: In the last fiscal year, the lottery spent $10.9 million on advertising. Spending records released through a public records request show that lottery officials seek to blanket the state's airwaves and dot its highways with the messages: Buy tickets that will b

1. How long have you been buying lottery tickets? Bought Pennsylvania lottery tickets from a co-worker in the early 70s and had tickets in Ohio's Buckeye 300 first drawing. The first online game I played was the Ohio Pick-3 on December 3, 1979; played my license plate number (647), it hit straight the next night, and I've been hooked ever since. 2. Where do you buy lottery tickets? Do you always buy them at the same place? I usually go to stores that are convenient for me and avoid the

No Advanced Plays, FL Lotto. OMG!Reply
Why are you always so argumentative? (Rhetorical question. No response required.)

Yes, this information has been available, but why would I go to the FL web site and go to every link on the site index and read all the information about advanced plays without anything to prompt me to do so? I've always been able to purchase Lotto tickets in advanced when goin

Unfortunately there is not much that can be done when it comes to lottery.. (petitions, boycotts, don't work lets keep it real here) The reason they will get away with it is because playing lotto is not a neccessity in every day life... The lottery office will always back it up with smth like: players ask for higher jackpot...it benefits programs etc... Also changing lotteries is nothing new..They ALL change with time...whether it is format, matrix, jackpot payouts, ticket price..it
