Breakfast buddies file suit over lottery ticketReply
The suit asks for a judgment of $350,000 in compensatory damages and $100,000 in punitive damages and a finding that the Salcones not get any share of the winnings. The case is assigned to Judge Andrew Logan.Actually that's smart. They are suing for MORE than the ticket is worth, so he will settle the lawsuit by agreeing to split the money like he should have in the beginning.

Newspaper takes a hard look at the N.J. LotteryReply
This Star-Ledger Investigative Report is a rehashing of the same old stuff. Yes...poor people are more interested in winning money than the rich are. Yes it can be argued that the concept is regressive ...however it is erroneous to refer to the Lottery as a form of regressive taxation. As defined by Webster's Dictionary...A Tax is a levy imposed by the state... That's the catch, the Sate is not imposing the Lottery Games on the poor, middle class or the rich. It is voluntary. The people pa

I have pored over each for endless hours just trying to find a rule of thumb or regular pattern... nada#2 Mechanical Bias. They post the machine# and Ballset # for each draw, BUT they use an active pool of four machines and ballsets, mixed up out of a total of well over 20 machines and ballsets... this is for both PB red ball and the white balls
