the future of the lottery as you see it...Reply
I think the future of the lottery will be such that the average person won't be able to play it. It wil be a luxury that people will play only when the jackpots are out of this world. Something like going to Atlanctic City for a day of gambling. You really can't do that everyday. I believe that people will protest the computerize games to the point that they will return to the mechanical. Somebody is going to uncover somebody is tampering with the computer program and this will lead to a demand

dog racingReply
Only to protest them! I have a hard enough time walking down the street in this heat. Imagine running around a track in it. Dogs love to run and compete, and watching the agility races in comfortable, indoor stadiums is a real treat. These wonderful, loyal companions spend most of their lives in crates. They are over-breeded for profit and then selected for racing, killing the thousands of puppies that don't make the grade. The average racing life for a greyhound is 3 years. They can live up to

What do you do for a living?Reply
I couldn't believe it the first time I drove by that store, Pac. Yes, there was a protest but that store has become a landmark. He probably sells more tee shirts with the store name to the tourists than fish bait. Well, if Double Down made it up, you really gotta give him a big hand. (groan)

Online Lottery Soon to be Illegal/new lawReply
Write your state senator, and congressman, we all say we'll do it but we don't. We all need to take 30 minutes, write a protest and submit it. Then we all need to vote !!!!!!

lump sum or annual paymentsReply
Keep voting those liberals into office; and make sure you keep them there forever! If you need guidance, watch the New Jersey elections. One mind dead elderly person after another keeping corruption thriving. Now we have their children following suit, pleasing mommie and daddy by proving what great sheep they raised. Long live the unions, it doesn't get you quality, but does get you higher prices, and some one to talk with in the protest and strike lines. Look at what they did to the Americ

tennessee lottery midday drawingsReply
I'm doing ok still stinging a bit cause I didn't go to DC and play my powerball numbers which would have netted me 10 to 50 g's.I think Tenn..... will eventually get round to midday draws but these things take time and planing also popular demand for them helps. If people don't ask for them. Then the lottery usually doesn't volunteer or take it on their own to just up and do something. More games might mean more revenue but it also means more work for the employees. Some might be all for it whil

Dang NC - FinallyReply
I fled North Carolina years ago -- too numerous to mention -- because it was too conservative, a little backwards (according to the northern progressive cities).Now, some of the religious zealots and others want to protest or file charges against the governor. In either case, the protestors have their right. However, why are most of them so adamantly opposed to gambling? Do they have the same religious fervor about the seven deadly sins? I do not want to get off on a religious soapbox. Neverth

Connecticut Gov. considers dumping PowerballReply
I hope she does drop it. PB deserves a nice shot across the bow as protest against their backroom ripoff shenanigans. It will probably encourage other states to do the same, and send waves of fear through the PB cabal. To the people who say Oh no, I will have to go somewhere else to get my PB ticket , it is easier to understand if you consider current PB and new PB separate games. Do you really like the new game? Current PB is ending. CT didn't agree to new PB. lt should be considered a brand

Texas Pretest ?QuestionReply
We (Texas) get 4 (sometimes 5, if 1 number comes out too many times) before each draw. Do other states have THAT many? That equals to at least 60 drawings a week and rotation of, currently, 8 ball sets. A year ago, they were rotating 17 ball sets. geez! The players have tried to contact their Representatives/Senators in protest to Lotto, to NO avail. Lotto has been changed about 3 times (maybe more...lost count), during the years, and sales have fallen drastically. But, THEY know best.....

Reduction MethodsReply
definitely not something to make you buy more tickets, but something to use as a loose guideline... I still just play one ticket.... still no jackpot.I use excel for keeping track of the draws, the white balls are separated into separate columns so it is easy to check observed ranges at a glance. I have the same type of sheet for the 6/49 Match6 (for kicks, I don't play it tho, doing my part to protest PA low jackpot $2 tickets...) and it is the same thing, the draw history when sorted has a def
