I live in Ky and they have the night draw at 10:55 pm..I have my TV set to tape it every draw and if I can't make it to 11 I watch it in the morning..We also don't have a midday draw here on TV..I wrote the lottery and told them it would be nice if they put the midday draw on TV and they said if I wanted to I could come to where the draw is and watch..It's only 3 hours away..

Spending records released through a public records request show that lottery officials seek to blanket the state's airwaves and dot its highways with the messages: Buy tickets that will b... [ More ]
