Online play taking off: Virginia Lottery hits milestone $2 billion awardedReply
We are better off investing the money in the stock market with zero commission. New York Lottery has fallen behind, when it comes to technology. Online play is the future.

Maryland Lottery to switch to computerized drawingsReply
I sent an email to Md Lottery. At the 1:55 mark in this video https://www.mdlottery.com/player-tools/watch-the-drawings/#rng it says: The results are verified by several quality assurance tests to make sure the numbers are truly random. After the results are verified, the winning numbers are displayed on the screen and the drawing team shares these numbers with public . Question 1) There are no longer any ping pong balls that need to be to weighed and measured, or tested to make sure th

One ticket sold in Florida is sole winner of $1.58 billion Mega Millions jackpotReply
I concur; if they want you to win you will and more than likely they don't want you to win. So the question is who are the people they want to win and why?? $1.6 Billion Dollar Question - With the technology we have in 2023 why does the lottery commission have to wait a whole hour after the cut-off time before the numbers are PRESENTED? Asked and answered. They could start those machines 5 minutes after the cut-off time and roll out those numbers. But they wont, i also believe the odds are astro

Minnesota Lottery confirms technical communications error delayed $2 billion Powerball drawingReply
Thanks for the update. Stuff happens when old, outdated technology is used. We had IBM cards with chads from the 1970's in High school. I think the class was called Automated Data Processing but not 100% sure. It was fun.

Virginia Lottery retailers escalate boycott, halt ALL lottery ticket sales until further noticeReply
IMHO this certainly does not hurt the Virginia lottery very much. Folks can register to play on-line if they so choose. I find it amazing in my simple mind that just crossing the Ohio river into Indiana smartphone technology knows you left Kentucky and cannot play on line. Just like when we cross the Ambassador Bridge into Canada, the phone automatically switches to my beloved Metric system from the antiquated Imperial system. Anybody that knows me can attest to my love of the Metric system.

Accidental lottery ticket purchase nets Maryland couple $2 million in PowerballReply
Yes, the message was meant for you. IGT=International Gaming Technology; WOF=Wheel of Fortune. Our machines also have a total touch screen but no replay feature per se. If you win I think under $50 it asks if you want credit or delete. One game, Cashball 225 you may win a free ticket here and there and it'll print a new ticket with different #'s. Here when you call the KY help desk it really goes to RI IGT service center and I think it got cut down to 7 states. They are very good and hav

Lottery Post launches new websiteReply
Thanks to those who posted such nice compliments! Much appreciated. To those with a less-than-great reaction, that's fine too. I totally understand that change can be disruptive. But I assure you that everything you could do on the old website you can do on the new one and most of the time it is better/more powerful on the new website. Take some time to use the new one for a while before you throw your hands in the air and give up. Also, sorry for the approximate hour of downtime this a
