Predicting winning numbers? Fact or fiction?Reply
NY10..!! I read where NY has just become a member of the Multi State Lottery... now take note of how less winners will now come from NY, as far as PB MM winners go... Even though as Todd mentioned, it's a crime to rig lottery drawings, but it has happened before.. and just like like robbing Banks, criminals know it's a crime, has hefty incarceration penalties, but yet still commit it, for even LESS money than the lowest of possible jackpots of PB or MM...So...

It's Official, The Lottery is Band?! What Now!Reply
If lotteries were banned. you'd see see outrage on massive levels, yes there would finally be change. there would also be more crime in the form of illegal gambling. There would be a steamroll effect, more organized crime which will more to more drug dealing more theft more murder, being a numbers runner is a high risk occupation. isn't that what the whole gangster era of the 30's and 40's were about. Who would really lose ? the schools for one . which means a higher property tax for me the home

NumbersReply
One thing was very interesting, the FBI agents' brother, the mathematician said, Lottery is a game of numbers. When you really ubnderstand the numbers it spoils it for you. May be he meant, once you really understand the numbers it spoils it for others because others don't like to see others win easily. Maybe one the LP member who have studied the numbers of a particular lottery and had some nice wins could write a story of their experience and send it in to Numb3r for consideration. Mayb

Are lotteries part of the solution to the crisis in states' budgets?Reply
I will agree with you to a point on this Todd. The government involvement in every aspect of our lives is a large part of what's going wrong in America. The government should be for the people and by the people....not for the governement. In effect, what you have done is proved four4me's point. The simple answer on how to make state and federal defecits disappear is as simple as four4me said. However, due to government involvement and mismanagement of everything they underatake (not to mention c

Detroit mega MillionsReply
It's really sad about the older cities deteriorating. At the same time, there are many cities like Charlotte, Atlanta, etc., that are growing very nicely. The difference between them is not how much money is going into them, it is the people and policies that are running the city.The cities that are growing have a big pro-business, pro-family, and anti-crime mentality. Rudy Guiliani was the best teacher of this - turning New York City from decay to prosperity.keepitreal, if you want to rebuil

time and the resultReply
Bob and Hyper both you guys have excellent points. A program was developed a while back on the discovery channel depicting all the whole process of the lotto drawing I don't know if it was mega or powerball. But they went step by step from the actual selection of materials machines personnel and the whole gamut. Very informative. The big game and powerball is regulated by the gaming officials that a rigging of any kind would almost have to be mastermind by the people running the game the consequ

lottery subscriptionsReply
Quote: Originally posted by CASH Only on October 01, 2003 The US Mail basically doesn't allow tickets to be MAILED across a state line. That is correct. The reasoning given by the USPS is that various states (NC is one, for example) have laws on the books which make simple possession of a lottery ticket a crime. Not that anyone ever prosecutes this crime, but the USPS doesn't want to have their carriers potentially breaking a law (enforced or not).Now, you may say, a subscription is not necessar

Predicting winning numbers? Fact or fiction?Reply
Not necessarily. When you're dealing with statistics, the sample size is extremely important, and I don't think you're looking at a sample size that would properly even out the outliers. But I don't want to get lost in the reeds. No, the lotteries are not filtering out anything, and most certainly in the United States there no state lottery manipulating any draw results. As I mentioned, that would be an extremely stupid and purposeless crime to commit. As Eddie Tipton demonstrated, it's ce

Should illegal immigrants be able to claim lottery prizes?Reply
Whether we can play overseas is not the issue at hand. This isn't a tit-for-tat. If a person who sneaks into this country and plays online will have to use a legal friend to cash the ticket, if they are stupid enough ito trust an online company in the first place. Then the illegal spends the rest of the time here illegally, but richer. Or sends the money back home illegally. He or she may even cause more trouble because the person now has the financial backing to sneak more immigrants into th

CA SuperLotto slow-build 6 monthsReply
That does not make sense either. They allow all kinds of federally illegal drugs to be sold openly there but for some reason it's a big crime to sell lottery tickets across state lines? Massachusetts found a way to sell across state lines so it can be done. Why wouldn't they want to take in more $$$?
