NYS lotto Scratch off's (DIRTY SECRET) information that is not revealed to the public-SCAM OR NOT?
If you play NYS lotto scratch off's, than you need to read this information. If you play other states instant scratch off games you may want to question that states policy, as I have done with NYS lotto. First off, it took me a very long time to get this answer. I had sent numerous letters from my friend and I under the freedom of information act to get my questions answered. I had to finally go on a major letter writing campaign and literally write to every single NYS Assemblyman and S

N.Y. lottery winner and tenant fight thiefReply
The reason anonymity is discouraged among lottery winners is to prevent another avenue of public corruption. If we passed a law allowing winners to claim their jackpots anonymously, how would we know that the lottery commissioner, the lottery director or the governor himself didn't claim that jackpot? We've had such a situation right here in Indiana. Governor Kernan served two four-year terms, at a salary of $140,000 per year. Somehow, he left office a multi-millionaire, and used part of hi

International super lottery to create jackpots of $500 million or moreReply
I agree, Coin Toss. Given the huge amounts of money at stake, corruption in such a lottery would be rampant and unavoidable. Those currently charged with running state lotteries in America are now beginning to whine that it's too hard to make a profit, and that it would be easier and more profitable to privatize this significant stream of state revenue. If the top prize is $500 million, they'd need to generate two or three times that amount in ticket sales and, from what I read in the a

Tenn. Lottery says duplicate numbers drawn were legit; can we be sure?Reply
from the article: Kym Gerlock, vice president of communications for the Tennessee Lottery, said the reappearance of number 940 was random chance. It was not an error. It's rare, but it does happen, Gerlock said. Each drawing is a totally separate instance and one is not related to another. __________________________________________ And so the dance begins ... It's rare, but it does happen. What she should have said is, It's rare but it does happen here, and in

Hoosier LotteryReply
Floyd, Once again your post is well reasoned, well written and rational. My numbers again are a bit different than yours but I wouldn't quarrel with your probability ratios. Having said that, this matter could be at least partially resolved if we had accurate sales figures from the Hoosier Lottery. (Heavy emphasis on the word partially.) When you say all lotteries have problems...that is a gross understatement when applied to the Hoosier Lottery. The post I made earlier in this thre

Hoosier LotteryReply
Guru, I am on a mission! A mission to expose what I believe is a crooked and corrupt lottery. i.e The Hoosier Lottery. As to sales figures and payout information...well I don't think a cirizen of this state should have to go undercover and plant bugs to get information that is suppossed to be in the public domain. Besides...as I am not a law enforcement agent but am instead just a common citizen I really don't want to go to jail for bugging or infiltrating Hoosier Lottery's Headquarters

Hoosier Lotto Will Be Won on August 11 ...Reply
Jim, As much as I admire the effort you and Jeff have put forth...and as much as I agree with (most) of your comments...if the Foreman Scratch-Off scandal taught us anything...it taught us that nobody...and I mean NOBODY from the Hoosier Lottery will ever go to jail for any of their misdeeds. This guy was caught red handed. His accomplices (i.e. his partners in crime)...who were not employees of the Hoosier Lottery were forced to plead guilty in plea bargain that gave authorities all the

Hoosier LotteryReply
Hey Jeff, <>I wrote about this a couple of weeks ago. The Hoosier Lottery has not been won for over 9 months now...since October 17, 2006! Eighty (80!) draws on a straight 6/48 game and no jackpot winner! <><>This is unbelievable to me. A straight Pick 6 game...drawn twice a week...and not one single winner in almost 10 months! One possible explanation is that sales are so pathetic that this is just the natural results of low sales. Of course the Hoosier Lottery wi

Backlash in Calif. over sale of lottery operator GTECHNews Story
As the new 2007-08 Legislature convened Monday, the backlash over an Italian firm's quiet takeover of California's lotto contractor grew when a second legislative committee said it would investigate. Assemblyman Alberto Torrico, a Newark Democrat who chairs the government organization committee in the lower house, said his panel is probing the matter and may convene hearings. I'm taking a look at the situation. I've read the press report. I've been briefed by my staff, said Torrico, whos
