Gaming the lottery was this couple's retirement planReply
I'm surprised that it worked out so well given that the large influx of ticket purchases during a roll-down would greatly increase the chances that someone hit the jackpot and thereby mess up the drawing for the gambling pools. Also, this tells you how hard it is to hit the jackpot given that they never actually hit the $2M or $5M jackpots despite buying insane numbers of tickets. The story does not indicate whether any of the other pools (e.g., MIT students) even hit the jackpot for a really bi

Auditor general finds no fault with Pa. Lottery, but unusual wins remain unexplainedReply
Now my comments for the winners in the original article. For the retail owners, do I think many can get their wins by discounting or flat out theft, YES. But let us consider other possibilities. If a person (retailer or not) wins $600+ in a year, they can write off their losses up to the winning amount. By getting a tax break on your losses, the amount you actually lose is less, therefore your risk is less. With the lower risk, you can gamble more. Second, for retailers and scratcher

Using Lotto SystemsReply
I like to use certain strategies simply because I find it entertaining. I often have insomnia problems, just a night time hypervigilance thing, and it can be an enjoyable and relaxing way to pass a couple hours. I like to listen to music and half-daydream while I am making various charts and such. I do find that I get more small prize wins that way, compared to when I just did easy/quick picks a few years ago. Even this could simply be quite the coincidence, who knows, but it adds a little incen

$570 MILLION: Powerball sales surge prompts jackpot increaseReply
What happen to all that money? $570mil? HA! They were saying that since Wednesday night, then on Friday they said it would increase from that cuz of all the extra sales. Now after the drawing it's only a total of $559mil. Who's pocketing all that 'extra' money? What a rip off! If that was me who won, I be raising hell! Well, not that much hell, with 200mil in my pocket, I'd disappear real quick...SMFH!!

North Dakota lottery sales plummet $8M in last fiscal yearReply
I would think it might have more to do with the drop in the 'oil boom' in North Dakota. Which also might explain the increase in 'unclaimed' tickets, people who played but left before cashing them. (should be interesting to see the responses to this post-LOL!)

Bitcoin lotto shopping -Yes or no ?Reply
US currency being backed by the full faith and credit of the US government is all well and good, but the value of anything depends on what somebody else will give you for it. Government currencies, gold, beanie babies, Bitcoin, and sex all have value based on how much it's worth to somebody else. If you've got some to offer and somebody else has something you want an exchange is possible. In some cases a low demand can still result in a high value of something that's rare. The recent painting
