Florida man out $92,000 after losing winning lottery ticketsReply
I was thinking along those lines as I was reading the story and then I read your post ... being that he sells lottery tickets and if he has a clean record with the lottery, they might have worked with him ... and still might. However, they probably must have the tickets to keep it proper and fair to other players ... but there are exceptions made at times. He might have some luck in that regard. If none of the tickets are ever cashed ... what are the odds that no one would ever cash all th

Not checking tickets to keep on dreaming?Reply
I hear you. I get impatient when they dont have the live drawing as they advertise. Whenever they dont have the live drawing, the results can be delayed as much as 40 minutes at the state website. It kind of weird, but LP, will sometimes get the data five minutes prior to that. The least that the the lottery mafia should do is take their job VERY seriously. They should try and remember how they afforded that Class M mercedes. I also get impatient and annoyed, when there is a lack of

Florida Scratch Offs - Post Pictures if posibleReply
Hey LONERANGER - I asked this before - why does 100 X have an asterick * next to the game on the ForidaLottery site. Is it getting re ordered or books coming from some storage warehouse. ............... I never understood why they say it like they do.. Makes one wonder what they mean. It would seem if they make new tickets to be put out that's one thing - if they come from a warehouse I would think they would be old.?? And no new tickets printed. Straighten me out on this. There doesn't se

Director of DC Lottery dies after suffering an aneurysmNews Story
Buddy Roogow, the director of the DC Lottery since 2009, died Saturday after suffering an aneurysm. He was pronounced dead at Johns Hopkins in Baltimore. Roogow was 65. It is with great sadness that I announce that Buddy Roogow, director of the DC Lottery since 2009, passed away on Saturday morning, April 11, after spending Friday evening with family and friends. He was 65 years old. Buddy loved what he did and he was the Lottery's foremost champion. He was a consummate professional, dedicat

Straight in WC 2Reply
i'm buying my 420 straight 8 for 5 draws. the extra is a waste, never play it. once in a blue moon it would have paid 10$.... best bet is playing the extra on weds/fri/sat when folks drop their money on 6 49 and max draws. 420 at 6828 days. if it goes past, doesn't matter. i'm ridin it till it comes in. record is 854....7,400+ draws. p.s. pair 89 lookin good .

How is this not a massive fraud by the Florida Lottery?Reply
As for the public at-large, many players don't understand the basics of statistics; much folklore. Can't fault the lottery on that. However, player ignorance makes pulling the wool over their eyes easier. Heck, some readers here, even after much explanation, don't fully understand the issue you're pointing out. There is nothing difficult about reading the Florida scratch-off remaining prizes chart and seeing that game #1265 has three remaining $10 million prizes and 40 remaining $1 million

rigged?Reply
I don't think something like Powerball needs to be rigged since even with millions of people playing, the possible combinations of numbers are also in the millions. That is why even with millions of people playing different combos of numbers no one manages to win. Scratch off tickets, on the other hand, I believe can and are rigged, at least in Florida. You can see my other post for more information on that, but in a nutshell Florida released a $25 scratch off game 2/24/15 promising 4 10-million

I know, right? This is some crazy lotto voodoo. For the record, here's what's happened: 805;151 505;881 805;762 320;033 619;557 762;557 I broke my own rule by not looking for the third occurrence of something weird. The rule is: Note the first occurrence. Start the clock running on the second occurrence. Win on the third occurrence. Then quit. Durn.

Quest for lottery jackpot denied againReply
I believe Mr Jackson could have received his money if he had 1. took the ticket back to the store he bought it from and had them try to validate it, the machine would kick it back out telling him he would have to take it to the lottery headquarters to get it validated, he couldn't do that because the office was closed which prevented him from being able to get it validated thru no fault of his own. He may have had time to get to the office if it were open. There may be video and a record in t

Maryland: 3/1 - 3/31/2015Reply
How's you folks in Maryland doing? I wanna know your thoughts on the long out triple on midday. I'm sure you know Maryland midday holds the all time record for longest out triple at 808 days. I doubt if it goes anywhere close to that total this time. Today you got your 3rd fake triple in just a tad over 3 weeks. 161 hit today....March 6th was 949 and Feb. 21st was 005. I'm really lovin trip 1's. What ya think?
