Minnesota Lottery confirms technical communications error delayed $2 billion Powerball drawingReply
but saying the problem was a communication error created an overwhelming amount of sales data doesn't explain a thing because the Minnesota Lottery sold more tickets on Saturday than they did on Monday and had no problems. Whatever the real problem was in Minnesota, the results were still drawn in Florida and the winning ticket was sold in California.

$1.9 BILLION POWERBALL JACKPOT SETS WORLD RECORD OF UNIMAGINABLE WEALTHReply
MUSL I assume all of them have the same protocols to insure continuity across all 45 states sales data etc .The actual hardware is located in Tallahassee in a secure vault that only be accessed by (quad control) 4 people have to sign and put their part of the vault combination into the lock in order to open the vault .They are even stricter than the Federal Reserve which only requires everything to be under dual control.Its a harder game to rig because the balls are weighed before each drawing a

Two Illinois lottery winners in a partnership claim $1.34 billion Mega Millions jackpotReply
Todd........I could be wrong, but I don't think he was questioning the right of the winners to claim their prize anonymously. I think he was wondering why the Lottery Officials did not mention whether the ticket was the winner's own personal numbers or computer generated numbers. He was implying that the reason that was not in the story is because the officials hid that fact since they rigged the results. Maybe I am way off base but that's what i interpreted from the comment. ........EDIT..

Virginia Lottery retailers escalate boycott, halt ALL lottery ticket sales until further noticeReply
Hey all! Hope everyone's well Happy Mother's Day to all the moms! Been quite a while since I've been here or even posted...feels good to be back!! For what ever reason, something prompted me to Lotter Post today and, THIS particular development caught my IMMEDIATE attention. Mind you, I knew NOTHING about this deal until I came here today. Thanks to the LP Staff for giving me the perfect segue which will directly piggyback off these developments. For the record, I've long been a proponent he

New York woman says she was winner of unclaimed $12 million Lotto jackpot from 1992Reply
That's the huge downside risk of playing a set of personal numbers over the course of many years. Sure, you can glance at the drawing results and immediately know if you're a big winner or not. But I don't think I'd want to know what it feels like if I checked the drawing results, saw my numbers that I played regularly for years, but I didn't get to the store yesterday so I didn't play and therefore I didn't win a dime. The only thing I can think of to protect yourself from this happeni

Michigan man wins record $503,254 Club Keno prizeReply
Next town over there is a fast order restaurant that sells Keno. Three lottery machines are there where you can play and a huge monitor displaying the results as they occur. Today @ a pizza place in Louisville, KY, soon as you walk in there are play slips for Keno. They also have a very small serve lottery machine. So played Keno on that letting the computer pick the #'s, $10 ticket for about five draws and won $5. Looking around each side of the restaurant had big LED monitors that sho

Lotto America to switch to computerized drawingsReply
When I was in high school and lived in northern Virginia, the D.C. Lottery would broadcast their live drawings at 7:58 P.M. If I was at home, I watched the drawing. If I was not, then I'd check the numbers the next morning in the newspaper. I did not realize at the time I could check the results online. I suspect D.C. changed to computerized drawings in the summer of 2004 because they started using animations to show their numbers. I did not like the new format and stopped watching the drawings.

$1.1 BILLION: Massive Mega Millions drawing set for TuesdayReply
I can't believe another billion dollar jackpot. I wonder how much higher it will go. I'm currently doing a study on MM numbers using Lottery Post quick picks vs terminal quick picks. I have only 4 more draws to go before I'm ready to publish the results. I wonder if one of those will win. I plan to get some other tickets as well. Good luck to everyone!

Despite sales influx from $2B Powerball, Massachusetts Lottery ticket sales falterReply
Powerball was much more fun when it drew once a week. Same for Mega Millions. I agree with all of Todd's comments and feel the general public is suffering from lottery fatigue. However heads of lotteries seem to concentrate focus groups on the results they intend, as opposed to realistically studying declining economic conditions of their supporting players. If anyone wants the fun of guessing numbers for Powerball and Mega Millions please join in Maddog's Powerball and Mega Millions challe
