UPDATE: Proposed changes to Mega Millions game will raise ticket price to $5Reply
Have a budget like a lot of you, so I will postpone buying until the jackpot reaches $1,000,000,000 minimum. If you think about it, most people do something like this which is why the when the jackpot is at $20 million they sell $25 to $35 million in tickets but when it reaches $1 billion they sell $100 million to $700 million.

Alabama Lottery bill falls short by one voteReply
They have so-so Indian casinos there. The one time I went to the one on I 65 N side of the road this seasoned casino player noticed something awry. It was a huge circular casino and over and over again they'd announce 'another jackpot winner'. Didn't take me long to realize that was fake, there were no winners. Nobody screaming, no payout folks anywhere to be seen. Granny Governor there needs to be put out to pasture. If and a big IF they ever get this to the voters would hope they'd fo

Winner of $95 million Lotto Texas lottery jackpot gamed the odds to winReply
I don't know, but I thought I had seen somewhere that RNG QPs do not repeat any combination until every combination has been picked once.

However, as I researched this win, I found one article that said the winning ticket was self picked numbers. So if cards had been filled out to cover all of the combinations the logistics of that are amazing if the ca

Texas Lottery Executive Director Gary Grief announces retirementReply
I admire him sticking it out as long as he did. Remember some politicians wanted to get rid of the lottery altogether! They draw pick 3 or Pick 4 four times/day except for Sundays. Are there Indian tribes in Texas? If so, they could open their own casinos like they have in other states where casinos aren't necessarily legal...Alabama for one...and still no lottery there!
