Lotteries hit record profits last yearReply
The lottery is also in talks with other states about making changes in the Decades of Dollars game and is changing the structure of its raffle game, which generated half of the $10 million in revenue projected for the fiscal year that ended June 30. The raffle is switching to a monthly payout of 50 percent of money spent on tickets in that month. Passailaigue also said the lottery is in talks to take part in a planned national premium numbers game, in which tickets would cost $5. He's also

Early talks for a joint Powerball-British lottery gameReply
I heard a similar news from Korean websites. Camelot is planning for a worldwide lottery game and the jackpot amount will start from at least 500 million dollars. And they plan to make the odd really hard to beat so multi-billion-dollar jackpot will not be uncommon. Actually, I don't want to play that kind of lottery. Winning a jackpot will put me on some major international kidnapping scheme. The winner's identity must be kept secret no matter what.

Youths prefer online bettingReply
If Canadian and US governments were smart they'd capitalize on, rather than trying to control internet gambling across state and international borders. Could be done easily between the US and Canada since the North American Union via NAFTA is a done deal anyway.

Lottery Winners Sued As NuisancesReply
Sounds like they will get rid of that money pretty quick. Another example of looser in life but winner at the lottery. Oregon does have very high income tax but it's not the highest sadly. If there is an international lottery the US would not be allowed in due to our idiotic idea of taxing state-sponsored lotteries. The EU actually brought sanctions against Poland, a member state, until they dropped the tax on lottery winners.

Lotto Scam Clears One Woman's Bank AccountReply
First the check clears , then it unclears . If the banks themselves had to eat the loss, they would take better care of this type of thing. On the getting the money back part, after it gets sent to Canada or wherever, a big chunk is wired to Romania or some other uncooperative place. After all, the scammer is a boost to the local economy (where he will spend the money). The authorities there have ZERO incentive to send the money back here. These are not all 1 man operations, they are often
