Lotteries a threat to federal Web poker bill?Reply
Ridge: It is interesting how study after study shows that republicans give more money to charities and a higher percentage of their income as well. It has been my life experience that the louder someone screams how liberal and pro women or pro minority they are because they are a democrat, the more bigoted they often are since they hide behind that label (Well I am a Dem!...I cannot be bigoted or unfair! I am above being questioned!). Let me work or deal with a conservative Republican any day wh

Those games represent about 28% of the ticket sales so it depends on how many players choose to p

Woman accuses son of taking $51 million lottery ticketReply
For years I have been an advocate of putting vallium/diazepam in the water rather than flouride (I'm just sayin')... seems there was a reason why it was the favorite 'script for the wives of the '50's. here is my public safety announcement: with said change (listed above) we would probably have less abuse of alcohol and illegal drugs. and at bare minimum we should have a 20 to 30 year study made to determine the plausibility of said change.

$435 MILLION: Powerball lottery jackpot on track to 17-month highReply
Derp mentioned a few of the many foolish lottery winners...and they all happened to be older people who blew through some or all of their winnings, some of them coming to a tragic end. As far as I know, Jack Whittaker still has a lot of his jackpot left, but there's no denying there's something wrong with that family, at least some sort of gene that causes addictive behavior; his addiction being strip clubs and back room poker and his daughter and granddaughter's addictions being drugs, which

Study proves lottery not 'regressive tax' played mostly by poorNews Story
Editor's note: As you'll read below, the initial data provided by the New York Lottery to The Post-Star was incorrect, but the comparisons of geographic sales data and the results of the study were still valid, even after the correct figures were applied. Lottery Post has long opposed the theory that poor people disproportionately play the lottery, and this in-depth look at actual lottery sales data supports Lottery Post's position. Some have gone as far as labeling lotteries regressive taxat
