West Virginia Lottery begins allowing credit card purchasesReply
A limit of $200 per transaction seems reasonable until you realize a player with a gambling problem will just go to several stores or visit the same store several times. Most players are not addicts, but this will exacerbate the problems faced by the minority of players who are addicts.

IGT prevails in DOJ lawsuit; Wire Act only applies to sports bettingNews Story
Lotteries and poker are not controlled by Wire Act A fight spanning more than a decade over varying interpretations of the Interstate Wire Act of 1961 may finally be reaching its end after a Rhode Island District Court judge ruled that the US Department of Justice must formally state that the law only applies to sports betting. The ruling, a significant victory for online poker in the US, was made in a November 2021 lawsuit filed by International Game Technology (IGT) against the DOJ in

Alabama Lottery bill falls short by one voteNews Story
Alabama lawmakers sick of indecision following years of debate By Kate Northrop A bill to authorize a state lottery and casinos in Alabama failed by just one vote, the closest the state has ever come to enacting a state lottery since 1999. One vote made the difference in the Alabama legislative session, resulting in voters just barely missing out on seeing a lottery question on the ballot this year. The last time Alabama residents saw a lottery proposal in the voting booth was in

Nebraska single father's salad run results in $1 million Mega Millions lottery winReply
You are a member of a gambling site and sound a little jealous. I rarely play pb or mm or any lottery. So a lot of us just play when the mood strikes. I cannot fathom staying up to see any lottery drawing and only did it once. Some people have lives and being in every drawing is a waste of time and money. So yes, some people have different priorities and some people are destined to win and others are not.

Australian lottery winner sues daughterReply
Gotta wonder what the deal is with Jim and why the old man hates him so much. Gambling addict? Bunch of failed business schemes and bankruptcies? Twelve baby mamas like Nick Cannon? Or maybe it's good old fashioned bigotry due to Jim being a different race or religion. Big piece of the story missing. The irony is that the more the old man tries to cut down Jim, the harder Sue will cling to him.

$1.35 billion Mega Millions lottery winner suing mother of his child for revealing win to familyReply
This case may show us exactly the level of anonymity one gets with a major lottery win. I assume lottery officials must be bound by some sort of employment agreement for lottery winners. The IRS knows. But what about others who had no legal right to know? I would be furious as well. As others have mentioned, make up a story about an inheritance. Some people have no class and will ask personal financial questions. I always act concerned and ask if they are having money issues and will help them f

One ticket sold in Florida is sole winner of $1.58 billion Mega Millions jackpotReply
Why do people who keep getting divorced keep getting married? Because of addiction to love. I am addicted to gambling; No one is perfect, I know my issues. I am not the one to be conspiratorial but I have studied and played the lottery for a long time. I have seen so many things that have put the lottery both PB and MM in a negative light that if 10 years from now they say that the lottery has been rigged all along i wouldn't be surprised 1 iota. I also would like to believe that the lottery is

$1.05 BILLION: Mega Millions keeps rolling after no winner FridayReply
Am pretty sure they will be - good thing is they will never know. It's like the preacher whose sermon is all about gambling ain't right. But when a congregant wins, they can give 10% tithe and the good Lord will take it

Maryland player wins $50,000 in Pick 5 for the fifth time this yearReply
Good Point taken Artist My 25 years of gaming experience has taught me, no game provider will permit a consistent player advantage because in thier mind that wouldn't be gambling; usually they will blantly change the game rules as they did when the MIT Black Jack team broke the code in LV
