NJ Lottery officials still investigating cause of massive outageNews Story
The exact cause and circumstances of a five-day outage that blocked nearly half of New Jersey's lottery retailers from selling printed tickets like Pick 3 and Mega Millions earlier this month are still a mystery, but a few determinations are unanimous. The blackout, although anomalous, was unacceptable, may have been detected sooner and should have been handled better, state officials and executives from Northstar New Jersey, the group responsible for the lottery's sales and marketing, said a

Online gambling world watches U.S. caseNews Story
BetOnSports indictment may show limits of American authorities' control When prosecutor Marty Woelfle went before a federal judge this week to lay out her case against an online gambling firm, she faced a daunting legal challenge from the company she was prosecuting: No one bothered to show up. There would seem to be good reason for BetOnSports PLC to hire attorneys. The firm is facing a 22-count indictment on fraud and racketeering charges filed in the U.S. District Court in St. Louis. Th

$1.33 billion Powerball jackpot won by one ticket sold in OregonReply
I don't believe the lottery is rigged (at least the non RNG games). But, I will say that this is the 2nd time that Powerball has had to delay results. The 1st time this occurred, there was a huge drop off in the rate of sales, and they still haven't recovered that volume from one draw to the next. This is because of those that do believe that the lottery is rigged. Powerball really isn't doing themselves any favors by having another issue with a delayed result unveiling. This really makes me que

Americans gamble over half a trillion dollars illegally each year, AGA Report saysReply
The IRS would never go for not taxing the first $5K which would be nice. Your last sentence struck a nerve. Could swear I asked Todd where the lottery lobbyists are---if they exist. Looked up two lottery organizations and seem like non-lobbyists. They were more like national/international organization that has members. Like the American Medical Ass'n et al. That's the problem if no lobbyists exist nothing will change.

U.S. Supreme Court overturns federal sports-wagering banNews Story
The U.S. Supreme Court struck down the federal law that bars gambling on individual sporting events in most of the country, in a ruling likely to unleash a race among the states to attract billions of dollars in legal wagers. Ruling in a New Jersey case, the court said the 1992 law unconstitutionally forced states to maintain laws that ban gambling. Nevada is the only state where single-game wagering is now legal. Sports gambling could begin in a matter of weeks in casinos and racetracks i
