You should relax a little. I was not discriminating and you're reading waaaaay too much into my question.

I was asking a reasonable question. It is reasonable to ask why someone from Brazil is worried about a USA game.

If you say it's just because you're interested, that's fine with me. You can organize what you wish. Anything that spreads word about lotteries in order to make them better can only be a good thing. And the more power given back to the players the better.

Good luck... [ More ]

Although I think there are people living in the US that has a worst english than I do. with the advent of the internet, country borders has changed. The world is smaller each day.

I will be very straight in what I have to say. These things happen and will continue happening because we lottery players, enthusiasts, experts, gurus, forum admin and so on are not ORGANIZED.

Stop crying and complaining like babies. Grow up. Do something about it. Join me to create the NORTH AMERICAN LOTTERY PLAYERS ASSOCIATION. Then we will have a voice. Then we will have an official channel so the lottery industry will listen to us.

We need to unite under one organization to have an ef... [ More ]

Ticket sales dropped in both the Cash-3 and Lotto-5 games from 2005 to 2006. The sales of those two games plus the Cash-4 game accounts for 11% of total sales so I guess their plan to increase sales was to change to an exciting computer drawing .

I'd like to know the percentage of the tickets with doubles and triples that were returned for a refund.

Probably the same. From what I have gathered during my talks with the good customers at Waffle House, no one even realized Tennessee went to RNG numbers nor did they know there was a scandal in progress.

I tried to explain what had happened. Their eyes glazed over and their minds went numb. They did not care. All they wanted to know what Did my numbers win anything

I'm disappointed that Tennessee went to computer drawings. I hope they go back to ball drawings ASAP.

If the lottery reverts back graciously and are humble about it, the rewards would far outweigh the cost of setting things right again with the people of Tennessee.

The greatest reward to the lottery would be regaining the trust of the people.

It would be precedent and historical. People forgive and forget. Set a date, do it, and get it over with.

We're sorry. Please forgive us. Is a good place to start.

Yes he is, and I'm glad he wrote the article. The Tennessean contacted me about writing it too but I didn't have time. I think he and I were one of the first people that were interviewed about what had happened. I was told to ask you lottomike, from a couple of other LP members, to see if you would write a editorial about it but didn't have time to get in touch with you.

Lottery should not have ended drawings

By Larry Duck

When the Tennessee Lottery started drawing the numbers by computer software, did you know they were doing away with the ball drawings?

I could hear a great cry from loyal lottery players. People who have been playing the lottery for many years must have felt betrayed by the lottery, as they were not properly informed that this was going to happen. No constituent votes were taken and no polls conducted the lottery just made its decisio... [ More ]
