We need somebody like Mrs Nettles to run the NY Lottery. Someone who would push for better NY Lotto payouts and a cash option on all scratch games.

I thought GTECH just provided the tools and the states, along with their self-appointed higharchy, do the decision making. Do you blame GMC because a drunk runs over some one? Do you blame Olympic Pools because a child drowns? Why blame GTECH, or any other outfit, for something that the Lotteryy Comissioners and Directors pay them to do? That is punishing corporations for proficiency.How do you think the usamega and lottery post sites came about? Because Todd wished and they happened? He put blo... [ More ]

Yes, I agree. As most of you know, Ms. Nettles runs LottoReport.com, and she's no more impressed with Indiana's methods and tactics than she is with the intricate gyrations of her own state lottery (Texas).I sent her a letter the other day outlining what LosingJeff and I have uncovered about the Hoosier Lottery. She hasn't replied yet, but she is a very active consumer advocate, so I'm willing to wait a while for her response.She brings up some very good points about the Texas lottery, and she's... [ More ]

I myself have no love for GTECH, they are not my friends either, I think that they are rotten thru and thru and as rotten as anybody can be. I am glad that they fear Nettles, they need to fear somebody.

Dawn would be the perfect person to bring honesty and integrity back to the TLC. I have been with her for a long time now and know of all the trials and tribulations she has encountered concerning Gtech and the TLC. We tried to tell them we wanted to see more winners but they got greedy and made the game harder to win. Me like most Texas players have cut back on the amount of money that I was spending on the lottery. The best way to get their attention is not to play. I wish Dawn all the lu... [ More ]

She says, If the state of Texas would like to restore trust and integrity, they will hire me in a second. No Government official, or contractor to the Government, cares about anything except their own security. Integrity - hehehehe. That only applies to the don't get caught rule. Every time you turn around, some Senator is caught accepting a free trip when they should not have. There is always news about a Congressperson setting up a trust or lecture that they shouldn't. There is always some Ol... [ More ]

Some say she's a watchdog; others say she's a nuisanceDawn Nettles has a job interview Friday, but she figures the odds are against her. They're not going to hire me, the 54-year-old Garland woman said. They hate me with a passion. They refers to the Texas Lottery Commission and Gtech Corp., the company that operates the lottery for the state. The commission is seeking an executive director to replace Reagan Greer, who resigned in July after admitting he had signed off on advertising inflate... [ More ]
