I'm hoping that the injuction goes through myself since it would cause some really serious jackpots.

Jack,I hear ya, but this doesn't make any sense. Check this out: https://www.lotterypost.com/threads.asp?tp=115269 p=2#i403078(You may have to go back to page 1 of the thread if you have increased your number of posts per page.)The first message says it should be sold there, the very next one says no. The no came after he saw the Democrat's lawsuit, so it's my educated guess that he's a staunch Democrat, putting politics before the love of the game.In my experience, it's good to stand on pri...

Yes, I have read the articles, but CALI is one of the 5 LARGEST MOST POPULATED STATES in the Union.....that adds up to more $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ than any CALI DEMO can imgaine Libra: Cali Demos are probably too busy imigraining how to get themselves located outside Cali to spend a lot of time trying to imigraine how many dollar signs you put into that sentence.Jack

He/she's evidently a lottery player, also one who reads the blogs. I had the chat room loaded yesterday for a while, hadn't said much except hello a few times, goodbye a few others. Just6ntlc messaged me about the three numbers I'd gotten on the last PB draw, said he/she got the same ones. I'd made reference to it on my blog, but not in the chatroom.I can't go so far as to suggest I understood what the person was trying to communicate in the rest of the message, but it was plain he/she was in...

Just6ntlc may be too young to play the lotteries, he/she doesn't sound like any Democrat that I know. But then I could be wrong because some of my friends are Republicans and I never knew until they ran in the local elections and asked for my support.RJOh

Since Just6ntlc has repeated his/her statement on this without addressing my previous message, I'll just repeat my message.My guess would be that Just6ntlc is either a Democrat who is supporting his party's wacko position on this, or is just trolling the forums (one who posts something just to be argumentative and pick fights).My reasoning is that Just6ntlc has previously posted very positive messages about Mega Millions, so this is not consistent with those previous messages:https://www.lottery...

You might actually be able to resist playing it, yourself, if you're opposed to Mega Millions. But why you'd wish to deprive adults living in California from choosing to spend their money on Mega Millions if they wish, is a bit of a reach.Care to explain why you want to keep adults from making whatever choices they wish about how to spend their money?Jack

I wished that CA wins the lawsuit and doesn't play Mega Millions anymore.

Kill 'em all and let God sort them out! , used to be a popular tattoo and teeshirt slogan among Special Forces troops during the early phases of Vietnam. This appears to be the legislative manifestation of that philosophy.Seems to be working as well in California as it did in Vietnam.Jack

Buddy Roogow,is the president of the MM or was i wonder what part he played in all of this and why he and the Calif. lottery directors didn't go through the proper channels to get this charter done. I can't believe that he and the California officials didn't make sure everything about calif. joining megamill was copasetic. I hope he doesn't get in trouble because of this, so far it seems he has done a good job keeping Maryland lottery and the mega millions game going. Despite the hasty changes t... [ More ]

I agree - had I been in charge I would have forged ahead as well. It will be hard to undo especially if they can point to a lot of additional $$$ going to CA as a result of joining Mega Millions. The longer they can keep selling tickets, the better their chances of staying in.

I guess this proves it is easier to say I am sorry then it is to ask for permission.

The California Lottery admitted Monday they used a state official, who misrepresented herself as a freelance reporter, as an operative in the legal battle over constitutionality of the multistate Mega Millions game in California.In other developments, lawmakers indicated they may reject confirmation of Lottery Commission appointees who voted for the game and disclosed they are planning to unveil a bill today to make Mega Millions legal here, despite the lottery's claim it has not broken the law....
