Certainly don't let the facts get in your way as you attempt to derail this guy who reported the problem. You have 13 posts to your name (including this one). Not enough to be the de-facto arbiter (or possessor) of the facts. As someone who has reported the news for eight years, I think I understand the facts. I doubt you have seen the inside of every lottery retailer.

I'm pretty sure the fact that as "someone who has reported the news for eight years.." far out-weighs my 32-year career in broadcasting, including stints as TV Anchors, and news director of several radio stations. We won't even discuss my background as a reporter and contributor to major newspapers, magazines and TV networks since the mid-60's. :0) It's pretty obvious that since you own the board, you are correct and anyone with only "13 posts to your name.." is wrong! We won't even discuss the fact that you're sitting in NJ. I'm sure that being that much closer to the Nashville area than I am here in the Knoxville area gives you a leg up as you'd have more access to the facts than I. :) Hope things go well for you. Pete

I doubt you have seen the inside of every lottery retailer. On the Ohio tickets below the name of the game it's almost like billboard and I've seen the projected Mega Millions jackpot on Pick-4 and Rolling Cash 5 tickets. And according to the article, in Tennessee it was a fact the projected PB jackpot was printed on the tickets. "I doubt you have seen the inside of every lottery retailer." I wonder the same thing every time I see a poll asking "do we think a jackpot will roll". I've never had anybody after buying 10 MM tickets ask me if I think the jackpot will roll. People buy tickets because the want to win and some people only buy tickets when the jackpot is at a certain level.

Pete "far out-weighs my 32-year career in broadcasting, including stints as TV Anchors, and news director of several radio stations." How exactly does that make you an expert in lottery games?

In all honestly, being from Tennessee I know we have a few simple minded people. This is what I think happened... They guy walked into the store obviously not knowing what the Jackpot was. He bought a few tickets (either lotto 5, cash 3, or cash 4 (Evil games)). He looked at the ticket and saw that the jackpot was $29 million and bought them. He noticed that later on the JP was only $15 million. Felt lied to and of course he wanted some clarity. As far as 15-min of fame? I simply don't know. Could have been looking for attention. Or he could of just only wanted his money back. Either way the Tenn Lottery's integrity continues to decline. We will see I guess.... I hate to say it but I think Becca will retire SOON!!! Any other takers on that bet? How are you going to win if you don't play? Good luck lotto players.... Tnplaya.

Any other takers on that bet? She's trying to rectify a problem by placing the blame elsewhere this could be a career disaster as that is what many people do when they have put themselves in the thick of it. My guess is she has relegated some of here former duties to subordinates and they in turn cause some problems. While ultimately it is her responsibility to answer for any wrong doings she must have been to busy counting her big bonuses to pay any attention to what was really happening. I don't think she'll retire you don't walk away from a 3 digit salary and triple digit bonus's.

Any other takers on that bet? I think you hit the nail on the head, although it's anyone's guess what the director will do. I would tend to agree with four4me on that -- it's difficult to walk away from a big salary like that. She should do the right thing and reinstate real drawings. She'd be a hero.
