EXCLUSIVE: Weeks-long computerized draw error prevented many DC Lottery tickets from winning a prizeReply
YES they do! But also they see them (ball drawings) as a added EXPENSE that they can cut. In todays business world people get a bonus when they find ways to CUT costs. Marketing for lotteries seems to have been cut across the board. They just keep creating more expensive games (especially scratch offs) just putting out a press release for marketing. Until sales drop they will not go back to ball drawings. Thanks again for doing what you do in contacting them! How long would this have g

Can AI Be Effectively Be Ued to Win a PB Jackpot?Reply
You're right. A couple retired friends of mines confirmed this. Finally! We're on the same page. They also confirmed that AI news about the lottery is used for marketing purposes.

There is no $25 that can win $5000. 20 sets of numbers on a 5/45 game means every set of numbers is up against the same odds. So you have something to do with marketing and are maybe a host in slots. You definitely put a promotional spin on things. For your own info; stiff, a player who never tips, George, a tipper, comes from 'Generous George'.......at dealers parties whether a player is stiff or George can be very long conversations. Some Vegas lingo for you; Minnesota junket, two or more play

$1.8 billion Powerball jackpot won by a single lottery ticket sold in ArkansasReply
Congratulations to the winner. I hope they do amazing things with the opportunity they have been blessed with. On a side note, I think the MUSL does a poor job of marketing the game as they really don't want people to play and or win often. Especially at low levels. 20M dollars (9.2M cash) is also life changing money. Anyone who wins that could take the cash, literally do NOTHING but invest in basic treasuries and still earn 17k dollars a month in perpetuity. Imagine spending 17k dollars and it

Besides wanting to win a jackpot, do you REALLY want to know why people play the lottery? The various state lotteries around The USA are tremendously smarter than the lottery playing public is. And I include myself as a member of the lottery playing public. https://kortx.io/news/lottery-marketing-advertising-guide/ Click the link and read the page it takes you to. G5

FANTASTIC ANSWERS/REPLY!! I'm no marketing man that's for sure, but obviously state lotteries around the country are very sophisticated and understand what they're doing one helluva lot better than the lottery playing public does. Some of those reasons are so subtle if not down right sneaky! Thanks! You've earned my complete respect. Just curious, you didn't use AI to get that info, did you? Hope not! G5

One more 'one more thing'...... I firmly believe that The Florida Lottery knew well in advance of implementing the midday drawing that ticket sales would go down. By how much they'd go down was probably the only question they had on their minds. They also were very likely aware (probably advised by an advertising/marketing firm) that tampering with something that works very well could have very negative consequences in terms of ticket sales. (Like happened to Coca-Cola when they changed

With much respect and appreciation towards LP member 'TOKECAP' and his fabulous expertise with AI , here is why The Florida Lottery went to two FF5 drawings per day. You and I think that stinks but we're definitely not as smart as The Lottery. G5 A.

A. You re correct: players lost value From a player perspective: Expected value went down Jackpot growth was crippled Pool fragmentation favors the house Long-shot strategies became worse That s why many experienced Fantasy 5 players walked away especially those who understood roll dynamics. Your intuition there is dead on. B. More drawings = more betting opportunities (the core benefit) By adding a midday draw, the Florida Lottery effectively: Doubled the numbe

I have a bit of sympathy about that response that players were getting from the lottery, mainly because the lotteries all get accused by angry gamblers daily of being rigged. So the handful of messages they might have received as a result of this drawing error were likely dwarfed by the daily onslaught of similar messages that do not have a shred of proof. You really can't expect a customer service rep to sort all that out, and the result is a canned response, because most of the time what they
