Biggest problem with Becca ........ she's totally deaf to player input, never, ever, ever listened in Georgia. Period. Why begin now when she's headed up 4 lotteries and can do no wrong????????

Even the most simple organism learns and evolves from changes in its surroundings.

However it appears some higher on the food chain believe if they do enough damage control and stall long enough, then they can force players to give up fighting.

It looks like Becca has been around, she left 3 A+ rated lotteries in her wake. Is it because she left them?

If that isn't the case then:

One might ask: Why on earth would Becca abandon a successful formula?

I believe Becca is trying to scrape off some expenses by going computerized, and tweak the bottom line up even further, to try and better her past success.

As an observer and uncompensated consultant, I would say to her:

Becca your experiment in Tennessee has failed,... [ More ]

There aren't people in Brooks Brothers suits holding briefcases standing in line for tickets, he said.

Very good point Doc. So why are they (Tennessee and other states) giving away briefcases to players as prizes? I'd like to see the market research behind that decision Ms. Paul, I mean Hargrove. You do conduct market research to back up your game concepts, right

Great article, Todd!

Georgia has ball drop drawings where the general public gets to witness them live on tv as they're drawn.

Georgia now has a lottery director who listens to player concerns, who has begun having second chance drawings, contests and sends out buy one get one free ticket coupons. We have had so many wonderful improvements since she came, it's like night and day.

A close look at the Georgia and Tennessee Lotteries

University of Georgia demographer exemplifies general lack of understanding; buys into lottery myth: There aren't people in Brooks Brothers suits holding briefcases standing in line for tickets.

I started playing the lottery in Georgia when it started (in 1993), and I've just kept buying most of my tickets in Georgia, Mr. Kilgore sai... [ More ]
