You assume much. I never said I think I will win PB or MM, like most players I hope to win or just maybe I'll win.

As far as the 'scam', all lotteries are called Lottery or Lotto , not 'Gift Shop' as you want them to be.

The more you post the more your ignorance about these things shine right through.

How about calling the Wisconsin lottery and asking them if it is a business and sharing with us what they tell you.

Politics are ingrained into everything. You may not think there is any politics in lottery but there is. As for credibility, that goes both ways. I notice things other people don't notice, that shouldn't reduce my credibility. Just because YOU think I don't make any sense, that doesn't lower my credibility either.

State lotteries are thrilled when there is a big winner. They know that it keeps the dream alive for everyone else that plays. In fact, when I'm reading the Tx Lottery Commission meeting minutes, if sales are down because the MM and PB jackpots have been low, they're hoping for a big rollover run to pump up jackpots.

I'm surprised that on a website about lotteries that there are actually people that just don't seem to grasp how lotteries work and what they are about. I have to laugh at some o... [ More ]

Sorry to bust your bubble but if it is news to you that the lottery is a business and the purpose of a business is to make money (revenue) then you have no business! playing any game.

If there were never any winners no one would play, thus there has to be occasional winners and for the lottery that is the cost of doing business.

HOW COME ONLY [WHITE, BLACK, TALL, SKINNY, YOUNG, OLD] PEOPLE WIN?

Powerball is a random game that knows nothing about who buys a ticket or where a ticket is purchased. Why do the same few states often consistently win, if powerball is truly random and knows nothing about where a ticket is purchased?

If a state wins a PB or MM drawing, sales of either game should be shut down for one year in that state. This gives anyone not in New York a fair shot at winning, and it shuts down cheats.
