Player confusion leads to early end for N.C. lottery gameReply
Can you show a photo of a sample ticket? I'm curious to see if it's as confusing as they say. It wouldn't be on the North Dakota official site.

Powerball lottery being considered in WyomingReply
That is the problem with North Dakota. They are too dependant upon MUSL games. They need to start up their own in-state games, or merge their lottery with SD. Eventually the people are going to get bored with the games, and then what is the state going to do?

Powerball lottery being considered in WyomingReply
If WY starts a lottery, it could go the route of North Dakota, which sells only multi-state games. Under current law, there are no scratch tickets in ND.

Powerball lottery jackpot hits record $365 millionReply
It would be nice to see North Dakota finally break their long PB losing streak of winning a PB Jackpot. In addition, ND won't have to pay additional sales tax on top of federal tax.

Play The N.C. Lottery Over The Internet? It Could HappenReply
North Dakota and other rural states are beginning to see a decline in their sales due to the higher price of gasoline. When gas is over $2.50 per gallon the average guy will think twice about making an extra trip to the convenience store to drop a few bucks on a long-shot. If he could get on his computer and do the same thing, it would make more economic sense. As far as compulsive gamblers and minors are concerned, they will find a way to play with or without the Internet.Orangeman

N.D. lottery's first year deemed 'exceptional'Reply
well, with poewrball, the jackpot money comes from all of the states, but north dakota would only pay a small percentage of that money.they do need scratch-offs because they are still going to lose money from bordering states that offer scratch-offs.they also need in-state games such as pick 3, pick 4, and pick 5 because they are going to still lose money to other states that offer those games.they have a long way to go.

N.D. Lottery commission family members allowed to buy ticketsReply
the decision may be the result of that fact that north dakota doesn't have a REAL lottery yet. once they start their OWN games, i think that decision will change, and they will have to start their own in-state games because dventually they will understand why their players still go out of state to play certain games.
