Hey grwurston - this is Chip Polston with the KY Lottery. I wanted to clarify the computerized games reference in this story. I sat in on the interview yesterday between the reporter and our president and CEO. There was some confusion as to what was meant by that - draw games used to be called online games, and they were given this term before the advent of the Internet (and thus the phrase online took on a whole different meaning). The reference to computer means the tickets are printed from a

The women who win hundreds of sweepstakes per yearReply
grwurston, Thanks for posting that list. I saw another one (maybe from www.charitywatch.org) that said the Make A Wish Foundation is real, but a lot of bogus charities try to play on that name and except for Make A Wish Foundation be wary of any other one with Wish in its title.

Illinois to fire private lottery operatorReply
grwurston, Very well said. There's no better advertising for the lottery than winners. Northstar added a lot of gimmicks to change $1 games into $2 games (player's option) that insulted the player's intelligence.

Hey grwurston. The industry standard for test draws is between three and five test draws per game. That's how we've done it since 1989. If the same number comes up either four or five times during the pre-test draws we do a retest as statistically that shouldn't happen. If the same number continues to come up we pull that draw set and have it inspected to make sure nothing has happened to it. The results of the test draws are always available by request, but aren't published. There's no time to

Wow, such great posts, Mike the Hillary Twiggy weight reference to sinking a blue whale omg, it almost brought tears I was laughing so hard. And Coin Toss, I really wondered how Hillary fared the night of her loss, she kinda dropped off the face of the earth and it was so nice not seeing that mug and hear that whiney voice. It didnt last long but I hope she will just go away. There have been stories how she treated her secret service in the past so I dont discount that account of the night. I re

Federal authorities investigating illegal NJ 'lottery' pool, sources sayReply
grwurston, Seems to me like the only thing making it illegal is that the state isn't getting a cut of the $$$. Remember the TV series Wiseguy with Ken Wahl and Ray Sharkey? Wahl was an undercover cop sent into Sharkey's organization........as the series went on there's an episode where Sharkey finds out Wahl is a cop and can't believe it because they got along so good. Wahl says, You kill people and Sharkey says, I don't send teenagers to some jungle to do it for me. Then as the
