Has anyone checked out the FL Lottery Demo on the game Lucky Lines? They have it rigged in the demo that no matter what numbers you pick or if you do a quick pick, you ALWAYS WIN !! If they can do that in the demo, what makes you think they cant rig the lotto machines to do the same to make you lose all the time too ??!! Hmm... I smell a MAJOR Scam !!! STAY AWAY FROM THIS ONE

Ask a store clerk to show you the actual game manual for the real odds.

THEY ARE ABYSSMAL!

Something like 1 in 10,000 to win $200.

At least Pick 3 is 1 in 1000 for $500 for the same dollar.

Florida Lottery is becoming more greedy and resorting to tactics WORSE than any Indian Casino

Busybody do-gooders are always living in fear that someone, somewhere is enjoying their life.

People can have addiction to all sorts of things -- gambling, booze, food, shtupping; you name it and someone out there is doing more of it than is normal -- and even more people are doing less of it than they'd like to.

What's next? Closely spaced barriers at the ends of the grocery store snack aisle?

Sorry, Fatty, you must be this thin to get to the chips. Now, waddle on over to the carrots.... [ More ]

My very first play was a winner, 3-in-a-row, for $1. You have to admit, for $1, have a chance for a big payoff.

I got up on Monday and raced out to play. I had dropped $23 by the time I decided to quit and try another day.

There's no question it can be addicting, more so even than scratch-offs. Top prize on a $1 play is $400,000. No $1 scratch-off even comes close to paying that.

That headline struck me funny.

Afterall, doesn't it go without saying that gambling opponents would see trouble with any new lottery game?

It seems to me that the gambling opponents should just issue a blanket statement for all perpetuity that they see trouble with any new lottery game that ever comes out.

And then close up shop forever.

We got the message.

I play an occasional scratch off, but I play the jackpot games everyday. The instant games are popular because we live in an instant gratification society. I've always liked the anticipation of an upcoming drawing. I buy my tics on Sunday for the draws on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday, then buy on Thursday for the rest of the week. It gives me something to look forward to.

The game sounds fun. The addiction does not. You have to know your limits and when to draw the line.

A new Florida Lottery game offers payouts of up to $3 million and instant rewards a combination that has gambling opponents worried.

For somebody who is compulsive about gambling, they need instant results, said Pat Fowler, executive director o... [ More ]
