Texas man charged in Iowa lottery case contests extraditionReply
This happens more than you might realize. Especially when crooks employ high priced attorneys that argue under a particular state's legislation evidence collected would be insufficient to secure an indictment. At the end of the day, he's toast!

Connecticut Lottery makes its pitch for kenoNews Story
Proponents told members of the Finance, Revenue and Bonding Committee on Wednesday that bringing keno to Connecticut is essential to keeping the state's lottery competitive with other states', while opponents decried the game as a short-sighted and ill-advised way to generate revenue. The bill would allow the Connecticut Lottery Corp. to offer keno throughout the state and is projected to generate $5 million in its first year after startup expenses. After that, proponents say keno will genera

Multi-state Lucky for Life game comes to KentuckyReply
It would be nice if the state legislation would lift the 35% restrictions I did think about contacting my legislator but don't know what good it would do. I guess I'll just have to continue to play in Texas.

Bill would allow N.C. lottery winners to remain anonymousReply
Veteran lottery players will love this and demand their states be next in line for this legislation. Those who are obsessed with large jackpots must keep in mind the casual player is more likely to buy into the conspiracy theories. If those numbers decline, you can kiss super huge jackpots goodbye. I don't care either way. I have been playing long enough to have a plan.

It's time the lottery needs to stop releasing a person name and picture when a big win is won!Reply
The paranoid fear of lottery fraud doesn't trump a winner's right to privacy and personal safety. There are documented cases around the country of winners being robbed and even murdered by strangers and acquaintances - who got the winner's personal info from TV, newspapers, websites etcetera.

This can and frequently d

I wish Oklahoma would get games like that $5 is our highest with a jackpot of $40,000-$50,000 no million dollar or even half/quarter prizes and they wonder why lottery sales are down. I asked the OLC why that is and they said legislation

Legislative committee to discuss killing the Texas LotteryReply
Before Ohio passed casino gambling legislation, the West Virginia and Indiana casino parking lots were full of Ohio plates too. I haven't been there, but the Cincinnati casinos probably now have lots of KY plates in their parking lots.

Pa. lawmaker wants to give lottery winners right to remain anonymousReply
This is a great idea, I'm surprised a politician came up with it. Let's see if this great idea goes from legislation to actually making it to the Governor's desk to be signed and become law.

Tax on Kentucky Lottery tickets no longer being consideredNews Story
Your outrage was heard Kentucky lawmakers won't pursue a 6% tax on lottery tickets as a source of revenue to shore up the state's financially troubled pension system for government retirees. House Speaker Greg Stumbo said that idea was rejected out of concern that a tax might have stifled sales of lottery tickets that generate money for education programs in Kentucky. Instead, Stumbo said lawmakers will unveil legislation on Tuesday that will call for the lottery to create new games, in

NJ bill aims to protect lottery winners' identityReply
I definitely agree on this...Once a lottery winners' identity became known to public, his/her life would be endangered. If this legislation will be passed on Congress, lottery winners will feel secure and safe. The safety of our fellow men should be the utmost priority of this bill.
