Tennessee Lottery CEO Rebecca Paul to retire after 23 years of leadershipReply
It seems like regardless of what state lottery director that state has people just can't admit they played and lost. I guess they have to have something to blame it on.

Maryland Pick 5 No trip Pairs or Quads. SuspiciousReply
Chip Polsten was a fantastic public relations director for the Kentucky Lottery. One of the best. He was also a real advocate for lottery players, and always read what people were saying on the Lottery Post forums because he cared about the players, not just the corporate stuff. Being from Kentucky he loves Corvettes too, which is always a plus in my book.

Illinois woman claims $536 million lottery prize, first Mega Millions jackpot claimed in 2026Reply
While the Illinois Lottery does not disclose the final post-tax amount for privacy reasons, Illinois Lottery Public Relations Director Jennifer Born advised Lottery Post, the initial federal withholding is 24% while the Illinois state withholding is 4.95%. Bummer. Some people would need a calculator to figure out the initial cash payment. A few would even need somebody else to push the right keys. Of course we never know the specifics of a winner's tax bill we do know that most of it wi

Win Your Lottery by Lotto-Logix Is Now Available Again
In 2008 I wrote Win Your Lottery by Lotto-Logix, procured hosting and set it up as both a website and compiled it into an ebook. The case was built around three lottery software titles, Advanced Lotto Tool, Lottery Director and Lotwin, sadly the first two are no longer with us. Up until a few years ago Advanced Lotto Tool was still offered as a download trial, but could not be purchased. The software was authored in Croatia that was undergoing various actions of war.

Washington DC Pick 5 1 in 200 million oddsReply
Ok we can disagree. Your counter examples are only for the late draws. 35 consecutive draws for Pick 3 in the Midday/Evening have been singles. 35 consecutive draws for Pick 4 in the Midday/Evening have been singles. 35 consecutive draws for Pick 5 in the Midday/Evening have been singles. Seems suspicious to me. The more balls you add to a draw for the Pick N games the harder it is to not have a duplicate/repeat number but not for Washington D.C. at the moment. It's possible th
