Store owners sell themselves $25.5 million Powerball lottery ticketReply
Agreed. It is common sense that insiders should not be allowed to play, win and claim their own lotteries. PERCEIVED conflict of interest is just as important as any actual conflict of interest. Many lottery players will now think that Powerball is fixed.

Store owners sell themselves $25.5 million Powerball lottery ticketReply

You keep the winning ticket? If the owner has nothing

Lottery petition attacks computerized drawingsReply
This is similar to electronic voting machines fraud. Theoretically both lotteries and electronic voting can be done in a solid way to prdvent fraud, hacking and other unfair criminal activities, but in both cases the stakes are so high for those wanting power and money that you have to assume if there is a flaw or weakness or programmer's backdoor that can be exploited to tip the scales it will be done and the public will be screwed. Those who program the computers really don't have a strong in

It is not me who let things get out of hand Todd. You should read all the previous posts attacking me. I never did anything more than defending my ideas and my system. I don't want to be called a fraud, because I am not a fraud !!! And the strong part is, that I never even tried to talk people into actually buying it.
