Iowa Lottery approves self-ban for playersNews Story
The Iowa Lottery Board voted Tuesday to allow lottery players to self-ban themselves from winning game prizes in order to stem problem gambling.After pondering the self-ban move for a few months, and following announcement of record Iowa Lottery sales of $210 million last year, the board felt the time was right for a self-ban, Iowa Lottery CEO Ed Stanek said. We want to maximize our proceeds for the state with everyone playing in moderation, Stanek said. We don't want our success to be at the

Can you start a new Forum heading?Reply
Well I am a new person and just would like to say that This forum was well organized and easy to follow, I just had some personal issues with the posting program (rich text), however I went to Todd s help section and found what I need to know in like 2 minutes! So I thought that was well organized and I did not need to write Todd and ask him something that was already there for me to read for myself. But that s just me, I have built a web site and I run a forum or group page that is similar to t

PowerBall odds for 100 tickets?Reply
Yes you're right. perhaps it just came in an unexpected way just like I said! My subconscious mind actually instructed me to get one QP, but at the time I was not really aware of it. Very keen observation Konane! Yes I have been close about 4 times I got 4 out of 6, and if not for that darn $2.00 price I would be able to own that lucky for life. As I said previously, it would not take a real lot to make me happy, I could live fine off of $2,000 a month without having to work. But a couple milli

Is there someone here that did not know he wanted help with putting together a system that eventually he would charge for? Not that he would charge or advertise here at Lottery Post, but rather at his own website. I don't see where he le

Winning lottery ticket purchased with stolen credit cardReply
I agree. Credit card companies do not lay claim to items purchased with their cards. In addition, if there is nothing in writing in their credit card agreement stating rules regarding the purchase of lottery/gaming tickets, and there is no written law in the state where the ticket was purchased prohibiting tickets being purchased by a credit card (not just what the Police say), then she can certainly fight it and win. She now has the money to pay the credit card company back the money owed t

Why so much greed?Reply
I only decided to register because of a negative attitude I saw here. I wished to add my 2 cents about it. The lottery sells dreams. It really is a tax upon the poor. For every retired librarian playing the slots to alleve (sp) her depression from losing everything she had saved up a lifetime for to Hurricane Katrina, there are going to be thousands of others who also put their last couple dollars into trying to win that pot -- and lost so that she would win.Now we have a man who claims to h
