New York lottery has a pick 10 game, and I do not play it. It does not pay too much money in prizes.

5 minute keno won't work. no one has the patience to wait that long for the next game. the incompetent bishop woosley should know this and submit his proposal for 4 minute keno which will bring in 20% more revenue. while he's there he should submit his resignation as arkansas lottery director as he's made a general mess of things since he took over. the former hillary clinton limo driver/bodyguard is out of his league trying to establish a credible lottery in that state.

Legislation approved in a special session last week that bars the lottery from launching monitor games such as keno until March 13, 2015, ensures that the issue will be at the top of the agenda when lawmakers convene for next year's se... [ More ]
