NY Lottery and AnonymityReply
This is from the Illinois lottery's website FAQ page: Can I avoid having my name released if I am a winner? To assure other players that prizes are paid to winners, the Lottery makes public the name, home city and amount won. We will not, however, release the addresses or telephone numbers of winners. Multi-million dollar winners must participate in a one-time news conference, but we'll always respect your wishes of privacy as much as possible. This is from the Missouri lott

Texas Lottery drawings inspire confidenceNews Story
Contrasted to the Arkansas Lottery decision last week to hide their drawings inside a computer, Texas has a model approach Stephanie Guidry and Mickey Roberts didn't have much else to do, so they stopped in front of the Texas Lottery Commission offices to watch the winning numbers be drawn.

what pays on little lottoReply
Hi there themidds1959 Little Lotto is now a 5/39 game with a progressive jackpot that starts at $100,00 and rolls over until it's hit. It has been over $1,000,000 a few times, not bad for a pick 5 game. It used to be a 5/ 30 game and you had to have 3 numbers to get paid anything. Back then 3 numbers paid $5, 4 numbers was parimutuel, and the jackpot, 5 of 5 was parimutuel, too. Here's a payoit from 2003: LITTLE LOTTO GRAND PRIZE PAYOUT FOR WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 27, 2003 WINNING NU

Lottery winner almost out of cash three years laterNews Story
For fun, Keith Bryce and his wife, Elizabeth, play bingo on Tuesdays at a Knights of Columbus Hall, or watch movies on a mattress in the living room. It's a long way from the craps tables, flashing lights and plush presidential suites at the swank Las Vegas hotels of their honeymoon. Since Bryce won the Mega Millions lottery three years ago, he has clashed with family, spent close to $3 million and isn't far from the poorhouse a place he assumed he'd never visit again. In the first 30 d

Gap Strategy - Review, Part 1Reply
pacattack05 Thanks for your interest. In my opinion, any lottery number generator that can be described in a couple of paragraphs probably isn't worth much. All of this has been said before here at LP, but maybe a review is worthwhile. If you have a hot 'fiver' in your pocket and want to take a chance on your lottery, here are the general options: 1. Buy quick picks. Not a lot of effort required other than finding a lottery terminal. You could be, like a lot of people have been

Contract controversy reveals D.C. Lottery's tangled rootsNews Story
Jerry Cooper, the man who helped bring legalized gambling and the lottery to the District nearly 30 years ago, called local businessman Warren C. Williams Sr. with a suggestion last year. The District's contract with Lottery Technology Enterprises, the firm that has run the city's online gaming for about 25 years, was going to expire by 2009.

What Would I Do To The TN Lottery - Updated
I've done some improvements on Tennessee's games, but this is little more comprehensive, and I think better. Add front pair/back pair plays. Some big changes here, namely changes that will create more winners across the board. Pick 5 from 35 (down from 39). Win cash by matching 2 or more numbers (down from 3 or more to win). All prizes pari-mutuel. Jackpots will be smaller and will be won more often, but will continue to rollover in the event of no winner. Jackpots will

Indiana Lottery sell-off advances in state SenateNews Story
Correction: This story originally identified Kentucky as the state selling off its lottery. We apologize for the error. A Senate committee approved legislation yesterday to privatize the Hoosier Lottery after university officials said they needed the money it would generate to attract top researchers and boost life sciences. We believe this bill is a difference maker, said Purdue University President Martin Jischke. Senate Bill 577 passed 7-5 largely along party lines, with Republi
