You're right-on Maddog, it's a load of BS. Saying that education dollars are up is a complete cover-up of reality. It could mean anything.

Let's see the quarterly report. That's what I'm waiting for. I hope it's out before the November 1 oversight committee meeting.

I could'nt agree more, whoever wrote this crap about their sales are actually up, has been smoking mushrooms ( schrooomin ). More bull$$## hype to cover their own tails. How pathetic are they

That's probably correct. Good point. People who play, for the most part, I think are not really players since quick picks are the majority of the sales. These same people would likely be buying tickets based upon the size of the jackpot that they could win, rather than the odds against them of winning it. So Pick 3 and Pick four, while having the best odds, would not be as interesting, since the jackpots are so comparatively small.

In another article, battle between border states:

Even so, the lottery had a smaller percentage increase in total education dollars in the fiscal year ending in June compared with the previous year, figures show.

Total education funding increased about 3 percent this past fiscal year, compared with about 18 percent growth in fiscal year 2006, according to lottery data.

Ms. Hargrove said one reason for the smaller increase in 2007 is that there were no Powerball jackpots that reached mo... [ More ]

Ms. Hargrove said two of the three incidences involved the Cash 3 and Cash 4 games, which make up less than 6 percent of the lottery's sales.

Obviously the 3 and 4 games are not a major concern of the lottery.

Interesting that their sales are up since going RNG. Likely simply the fact that most players don't follow the games that closely. They just plop down their dollars and go on with all their personal commitments.

Lottery sponsor questions move to computerized drawings

Three recent mistakes made by the Tennessee Lottery have not hurt ticket sales, the lottery's president and CEO said, but the legislator who led the effort to create the lottery questions the lottery's move to computerized drawings.

At this point, sales in our products are up, so it hasn't had any impact that we can measure at all, Rebecca Hargrove said Wednesday. We're almost 4 years old, and we've had three incidences, which if t... [ More ]
