Illinois Rep. Boland Wants to Add KenoNews Story
The stakes are high for state Rep. Mike Boland, D-Moline: $130 million.That's his estimate of what the state of Illinois could rake in annually if Club Keno were added to the lottery mix.

The game would e

Australian man who won nearly $1 million in lottery gave it all awayReply
Todd is slow to put up a Top 25 until there's a juicy headline I suppose a bump partway through the drawing cycle is usually newsworthy, and a headline that writes itself, but I'd figure it's the size of the jackpot that really matters. A current jackpot pushing an older one off of the top 25 list seems like a good time to write the headline if it hasn't been written already. When simultaneous jackpots in both of the big games have pushed the old 24 and 25 spots off of the list I'd figure t

The biggest loser in the lottery game? Increasingly, it's the states that rely on lottery revenue, as fewer people are buying tickets of chance. In 22 of the 44 states with lotteries, revenue declined between 2014 and 2015, the most recent year for comprehensive data, the Pew Charitable Trusts reported Thursday. Twenty-one states experienced declines from 2013 to 2014. In 2016, lottery revenue fell 3.3% in Missouri, more recent data shows, while it fell 3.2% in Rhode Island and 2.6% in Wes

Audit: Stores buying Michigan lottery tickets from playersReply
You keep saying the retailers didn't report their winnings, but their winnings were reported to the IRS on a W2-G when they cashed the tickets. It's pretty obvious some didn't buy all the tickets just based on the volume, but it doesn't prove they bought them at a discount so someone could avoid back taxes, child support or whatever. And you're correct, it's not complicated because there is no W2-G issue on tickets valued undered $601 and without a paper trail impossible for the Michigan a

Lottery Post Founder featured in John Oliver HBO segmentReply
God, there is nothing worse than smug, sanctimonius dimwits like John Oliver. With nonsense like what he said you always inevitably get the people that think they are smart by saying the lottery is a tax on the poor and the stupid. These are the same people that then go spend $5,000/yr on cigarettes and another $10,000/yr on alcohol. The fact of the matter is there is no other investment that you can spend a buck or two on with the potential to make hundreds, thousands or even millions on. With

Lotteries a threat to federal Web poker bill?Reply
Whataya say you act a little more respectful around ladies and we keep the conversation out of the gutter? You like to talk the talk but can't walk the walk. Romney said women in the military, women on SS, and low wage earning women paying no taxes are dependent upon government, who believe that they are victims, who believe the government has a responsibility to care for them, who believe that they are entitled to health care, to food, to housing, to you-name-it and These are people who
