Lotto Georgia vs Lotto SouthReply
No, we're hoping for the original format of once a week.Many of us are very tired of two lotto drawings per week, in addition to two drawings of Mega Millions, in addition to 7 drawings of Fantasty 5 ..... all of which have created extreme burnout. Too much is too much!!!!!Most important factor is that Georgia lottery players do not mindlessly turn loose of their discretionary lottery dollars unless something is coming back.Georgian's simple economic formula .... slow down being able to win = cu

USA Mega adds lottery game start datesReply
This feature is a good example of creating something specifically because someone asked for it.About three or four weeks ago I received an e-mail from someone who had two suggestions, and this was one of them (I also implemented the other one). I thought it was a good idea, not just because the information was not available on USA Mega, but also because it doesn't exist anywhere else on the Internet.I looked at every single state lottery site, as well as the official Powerball and Mega Millio

Lotto Texas - World's Worst Jackpot Game?Reply
I think 6/49 would be best matrix for Lotto Texas.While millions of Texans buy Lotto tickets, a large of percentage of the state's residents are opposed to gambling.Texas population is roughly 23 million. One would expect that a third would be in the game every Wednesday and Saturday. But, a review of the sales, posted at lottoreport.com, shows the average is about 1.5 to 2 million. This number increases when the jackpots grow, such as the recent Mega Millions jackpot, but falls drastically when

They're rolling in dough.Ten bakery workers at a Staten Island Shop Rite are splitting some major bread - a $19 million New York Lottery jackpot.

About three months ago, the 10 bakers from the supermarket on Hylan Blvd. in New Dorp decided to pool their money for good luck. We kept on losing [at Mega Millions], then we dec

Coworkers fight for share of B.C. lottery winReply
I've only bought tickets for others once on a road trip for Mega Millions tickets. The people I bought them for helped me out as I helped them after the hurricanes last year. I purchased 4 seperate tickets as a gift of thanks with the same numbers on each ticket. Meaning that IF they had won they would each have a separate ticket to decide how they wanted to handle their winnings.This was the only time I ever did something that resembled a group buy I haven't since then and don't see myself doin
