Tennessee Lottery oversight meeting delayed

Tennessee Lottery oversight meeting delayed

Tennessee Lottery

Update (Nov. 9, 2007, 11:18 am): See below for rescheduled date and time.

The Joint Lottery Oversight Committee in Tennessee, which was scheduled to meet this month to discuss the many problems recently plaguing the Tennessee Lottery, has been delayed.

The meeting was originally scheduled for November 26th.

According to a note sent by a co-chair's staff member, the delay is due to the fact that two ongoing audits have not yet been completed.  Both audits will be discussed at the upcoming meeting.

One of the ongoing audits is being conducted by KPMG, and is costing Tennessee taxpayers at least $90,000.  It was ordered by the Tennessee Lottery, but does not examine any of the multitude of errors and glitches that befell the Tennessee Lottery ever since they switched to computerized drawings in July.

When Tennessee legislators discovered that the lottery did not order an investigation of the many errors that took place, lawmakers took matters into their own hands and ordered their own separate audit, which covers the errors and glitches.

The oversight committee, comprised of Tennessee state Representatives and Senators, will discuss the findings of the two audits.

A rescheduled date for the oversight committee meeting has not yet been set.

Update: New meeting date set

The Joint Lottery Oversight Committee meeting has been re-scheduled for Monday, December 10, according to a memo released by a staffer for Co-Chair Bill Ketron.

The meeting will take between 1:00 and 4:00 pm in the Nashville legislative office.

Mike

Missouri is not that far away from you.  Take Highway 51 north to Dyersburg.  Take the I55-exit to Missouri.  There is a lotto site just two miles once you get over the River.

 

Enjoy the ride.

I'm going to add this in as food for thought; apply it as you wish.

When a crime is committed you don't have the potential suspect or suspects investigate the crime they committed.

Fact, End.

My Self Picks are optimized to produce
the most number of wins with
the least amount of effort.

Order is a subset of Chaos.

Thank You,
Doug

Great metaphor, Jade!  Sun Smiley   

Also bet their legal team instructed them to delay, delay, delay, outta sight outta mind.  Counting on players forgetting about being bulldozed flat ..... then the lottery can loads of tickets for Holiday stocking stuffers and make themselves superheros to politicians.  It's all about the children isn't it???

     Be$$$$$t of luck to everyone!!!

,it'll be interesting to see how this all ends.unfortunately i think it already has.they'll go through the motions.they'll delay it over and over until memories are faded.then next thing you know it'll slip away and won't anyone notice.i think the writing is on the wall.the state is simply not going to swallow its pride and admit to all kinds of serious wrongdoings because its embarrasing for quite a lot of people.the bigwigs at the top will make sure the threat is detoured on this thing and it quietly goes away.this RNG is here to stay unfortunately.

you are right LottoMike...  People are not going to wait it out.  They are going to continue to keep playing ...

 

It is like they are there to either get a screwing or to accidently win..

No Pity!

Unfortunately negative, defeatist thinking is precisely what they want to hear. 

Bet they've been reading these posts and high fived one another.
