As good of an idea that idea is, lottery directors tend to think very low of the intellegence of players, especially one whose name rhymes with Tribeca Mall (the stores there are so expensive). They think they will just play without scrupules regardless of the overall prize payouts, odds (of all varieties), and of course draw method. They think as long as the jackpot is big, they'll keep buying ticket after ticket, and they are wrong. Maybe the uneducated will keep buying tickets, but as survey... [ More ]

I can't help but wonder what the average driver of a salt spreadder retires with, enough for two months in South Africa, one month? two weeks? Maybe a trip to the local VA hospital

After 4 years on the job, Margaret Peggy Gordon is retiring as director of the Colorado Lottery.

Gordon, who formally made the announcement on Tuesday, said her final day on the job will be June 30, the last day of the state's fiscal year.

When she gets up on July 1, the first thing she plans to do is buy a Lottery ticket, which she's barred from doing as an employee.

The average length of stay for a Lottery director is 18 months, and I'm at 4 years, so I think that's pretty good, s... [ More ]
