In state lottery, everyone plays a hunch
People have different strategies and superstitions when trying to beat the odds and win the lottery. Just ask the cashiers they buy tickets from.
Some players refuse to buy two tickets consecutively, said Chris Scott, a cashier at the Shell station off Sunset Avenue and Old Carriage Road in Rocky Mount.
They'll get one, and then they'll stand here and wait for someone else to get one, he said. And then they'll ask me, what was the last one they got. And then they'll ask me the numbers.

New Mexico lottery spends the most on administrative costs
New Mexico's lottery spends a far greater percentage on administrative costs than almost any other lottery in the nation, and as a result, risks having to make reductions in the lottery scholarship program if changes aren't made.
Those are the results of a report issued by Think New Mexico, a public policy group which in the past has successfully lobbied for full-day kindergarten, elimination of the food tax and creation of individual development accounts.
This is the first year they're g

Millionaire lottery ticket trash-diver keeps most of prize
The million-dollar question has been the talk of the town for months: Should an 83-year-old Blackstone man share winnings from a discarded Massachusetts Lottery jackpot-winning ticket with the man who said he accidentally threw it away?
When Edward St. John found the $1 million ticket last October after sifting through a trash can at local convenience store, his answer was a resounding no. But the family of Kevin Donovan , who said he tossed the Hold 'em Poker scratch ticket, took matters t

Maryland Lottery to add horse race tie-in
A good idea is a jewel to behold, even if it seems to come out of left field, or, say, the backstretch where the main goal is aimed at a winner's circle somewhere else.
In Maryland racing a couple of weeks ago, a good idea surfaced in the form of an announcement about a lottery campaign with a brilliant tie-in to the Maryland Million, the signature day of racing for state-sired horses. The Million, set for October 14, will come up for the 21st time this year, at Laurel Park, and this time aro

Texas Lottery makes contingency plans for takeover
The Texas Lottery Commission began laying the groundwork Wednesday to take over the $95 million-a-year operation historically carried out by a private corporation in the event that the state is no longer satisfied with its work.
Officials made clear that the prospect of the lottery severing its 14-year relationship with Rhode Island-based Gtech Corp. was highly remote.
But they also expressed deep concerns over recent reports that the gaming giant, which is soon to be sold to the Italian f

Online gambling world watches U.S. case
BetOnSports indictment may show limits of American authorities' control
When prosecutor Marty Woelfle went before a federal judge this week to lay out her case against an online gambling firm, she faced a daunting legal challenge from the company she was prosecuting: No one bothered to show up.
There would seem to be good reason for BetOnSports PLC to hire attorneys. The firm is facing a 22-count indictment on fraud and racketeering charges filed in the U.S. District Court in St. Louis. Th

Don’t turn the voting process into a lottery
By Cheryl Tatum
Hendersonville Star News
The idea of turning the voting process into a lottery as proposed by an Arizona politician is one that is surely prompting comment from many circles.
Now when I write columns for The Star News they typically are on issues or events that revolve around our local community. After all, this is a community newspaper and I believe should address those ideas that impact us where we live.
However, nothing is more important for us as a nation than the v

Sports-Betting Operation Shuts Web Site
An offshore sports-betting operation targeted by U.S. prosecutors shut down its Web site Tuesday night, a day after a federal judge ordered the company to stop letting Americans place wagers.
BetOnSports PLC said it was temporarily stopping all transactions while it reviewed the situation.
Earlier on Tuesday, the site had appeared to be operating normally, offering bets on Major League baseball and season-opening college football games.
The company's founder, Gary Stephen Kaplan, the
