Winner of $877,800 Idaho Cash jackpot is infamous bulk buyerNews Story
Idaho legislation moves along bill to ban bulk lottery ticket purchases By Kate Northrop The Idaho Lottery's initial suspicions that a bulk purchaser was at play during a jackpot run that resulted in an $877,800 Idaho Cash win were correct when it was confirmed that an entity known for executing jackpot buyouts came forward to claim the prize.

Michigan man wins $6 million prize after playing the lottery for 40 yearsReply
Your 100% correct. And I noticed some scratch games will have a top prize left. And the game ends. And the ticket mysteriously does not get sold. And don't even get me started on thouse. Instant games. There the biggest rackets. The more I read and look into the lottery. The more discouraged I get. At the end of the day. There government run games. What could possibly go wrong there.

Iowa Lottery has delivered $6.1B in prizes since 1985Reply
In closely related news, Iowa lottery players have lost more than $6 billion since 1985. The average payout might be better than 50% if some (usually scratch games) pay more, but even if the average payout is 60% paying out $6 billion would mean players lost $4 billion. Not all of that would be profit, but operating costs shouldn't be all that high, and they'd also have collected some income tax on winnings and the salaries of everybody who works for the lottery.

Did you already forget about the pick 3 in pa? And how do you know scratchers aren't rigged? From what I gather they know what store the high dollar ones are at. When they send them out. And rng games are not used out of laziness. There used because of more profit. I said nothing of the sort about Oklahoma. Your grouping me. I actually said

Here we go again?......... I dont need to prove a negative at all. I don't I wasn't caught rigging anything. It's like someone elese commits a crime. And you expecting me to explain it.

New Jersey couple wins $3 million lottery prize six months after winning $1 millionReply
i would bet that when they won a million dollars six months ago they decided to reinvest a good chunk of that in scratch off purchases. there's actually a way to optimize buying scratchers. you look for games where all the top tier and most of the second tier prizes are unclaimed but a larger than expected number of the bottom prizes have been claimed. it doesn't happen often, but due to normal variance you will sometimes find scratch off games that have these optimal conditions. some people kee
