Will N.C. create a lottery-video poker partnership?News Story
North Carolina House Speaker Jim Black, D-Mecklenburg, argues that North Carolina's new education lottery will remove the allure of another hotly debated form of gambling -- video poker. People tell me the lottery will probably pretty much do away with video poker, said Black, who backs the video poker industry. Those people who want to do some recreational gambling can certainly get their kicks with the lottery. Other video poker supporters hope the opposite will happen.A few states have made

what games does your state not have that you would like to have?Reply
Right now I think the state with the best lottery is South Dakota....Will love if each state will have South Dakota's Wild Card2 instead of pick5... More important than winning the states' lotteries is the movie Red Planet...

Forming a trust to claim prize
I know that in states like Ohio and New Hampshire, you can form a trust to claim a prize, because it was actually done in those states. But can you do it anywhere? So if the jackpot was won in Nebraska or South Dakota or Pennsylvania, could you still form a trust and remain anonymous?

The Duchess Trust from Louisiana was also formed , but th

Powerball to increase to three drawings a weekReply
Multi-state jackpots are paid by all the states collectively. A percentage of every ticket sold goes toward the jackpot in each state. When someone wins the jackpot, all the states send their share to the state lottery that sold the ticket, and that state then pays out the winner once it's all collected. (That's why it can take a couple of weeks to get the check.) On the other hand, all non-jackpot prizes are paid 100% by the state that sold the winning ticket. So if someone from South Dakota

Do Rng Computers Know What Numbers Not To Pick?Reply
There are two things that should be clear. One is that when speaking about any form of gambling the house refers to the entity that runs the game(s) and has the advantage due to the odds being in favor of the house. The other is that cyber security is a broad term that refers to all aspects of security. Even if it was specific to networks or the internet in particular, I'm pretty sure the South Dakota lottery has networked computers in addition to their RNG machines.Perhaps you'll recall the

Mega Millions Enhancements commingReply
Multi-draws can be purchased by anyone (of legal age) at the retailer terminal in the lottery jurisdiction and can be carried out of the jurisdiction (unless there is a law in your jurisdiction against possessing a lottery ticket).
