Virginia Lottery retailers refuse to sell tickets to draw attention to skill games amendmentReply
So gambling with the lottery is OK, but gambling with a skill game is not? Many times I have seen people scratch games at the counter, buy more, scratch more, buy more, etc. I don't see any distinction between that and pressing buttons on a screen repeatedly. Seeing a distinction between those two things is where I think it turns from a logical debate into a debate on personal choices and of opinion. That's where I draw the line. I don't like arbitrarily preventing people from making choices in

Kentucky woman quits job after winning $90,000 in the lotteryReply
I did not say she didn't. I have a business degree but I wasn't where I wanted to be so I took a few classes at a community college and ended up in a better job. A little extra education can help in many cases. Whatever she does, I wish her well.

$1.1 BILLION: Mega Millions jackpot now the eighth-largest in historyReply
I have my PB ticket with PP. I also have my winners claim form and my spreadsheet budget. Now all I can do is sip on some lemon tea and wait for the draw. I thought of all the things that I could do with such an amount, then I remembered that if I win I may do totally different things from what I was thinking about. Well, well, wishing us all good luck

Michigan man with unique scratch game playing style surprised by $4 million winReply
I think for claims that can't be paid at the retailer it just says to check with the lottery or claim center or something and not the amount. I wish I knew what the exact message said for winners over $600, but alas I haven't had one yet.

Maryland Lottery launches Cash Pop gameReply
From what I can tell it is each state running their own version - different drawing schedules for example. However the rules and game are similar, but I think some odds or payouts might be different - I haven't looked at the details for each state. I think each state lottery just licenses the game from IGT.
