Lottery scams dupe thousandsNews Story
South Carolina couple's savings disappear; phone rings off hook Dick Long fought in the Philippines under MacArthur. Lillie Long taught first-graders for nearly three decades.

New York Lottery accounting method questionedNews Story
Billions of dollars in bets are kept off the New York Lottery's books. That's because the state Lottery Division does not publicly report the wagers on its video games that go to gamblers as prizes. The figures aren't included in the Lottery's annual reports or audited financial statements, and the Lottery initially declined requests for the amounts wagered on the video machines, and the prizes paid, since the machines were introduced in 2004. Late yesterday, however, a Lottery official

Some NC lottery players win so often, their good fortune defies logicNews Story
The North Carolina lottery wants you to believe we all have the same chance to win. But some players are winning so often, and so big, that their good fortune defies logic. Almost certainly, experts say, some are more than lucky. They are likely gaming the system. And the losers are the state's taxpayers, single parents and those who play by the rules.
