Lottery Post member turns up the heat on the Hoosier LotteryReply
Once again I'd like to respond to a few things said in this thread: First to Honorary Hoosier Lottomike...it's Ms Indiana Lottery director not Mr. Next...to combine points made by Lottomike and WinningJeff...with regard to the numbers games many of us do believe that the Hoosier Lottery computer does indeed track the numbers played and that that information is somehow fed to the (so-called) RNG which then excludes not only the most often played combinations but also numbers that might resu

Lotto America multi-state lottery game tickets on sale SundayNews Story
New game replaces canceled Hot Lotto By Todd Northrop What's old is new again. Ripping a page from the 1980s, the Multi-State Lottery Association (MUSL) is starting a new game on Sunday called Lotto America the original name of what is now known as Powerball. The throwback name is probably a good idea, since the new game has the difficult task of helping people forget the tumultuous ending to Hot Lotto, the game it replaces. Fortunately for lottery players, not only does the new g

British Columbia Lottery taking bets on US electionReply
I don't trust the polls, the wife conducted a poll at work and in her department alone the vote was 25 to 2 in favor of Trump. I watched a interview where Trump was asked asked why people disliked him. He replied 55,000 negative adds. That was over a month ago and I would estimate that number has doubled. This election is rigged against him. Hillary cannot be trusted to speak the truth. The negative adds are big media trying to control the election, just look at who the wife's of big

CT Lottery aware of security problems before shutting down gameNews Story
Months before Connecticut Lottery's 5 Card Cash game was suspended, lottery officials knew there was a security issue that eventually allowed the game to be rigged, according to a four-month investigation. 5 Card Cash, a combination instant-win/evening-draw game, was suspended on November 14, 2015 after it was discovered that retailers were using a flaw in the computer system to rig the game to buy only winning tickets.

Preliminary hearing rescheduled for Tommy Tipton in lottery rigging caseReply
I am not surprised at all. This is going on in every State, or almost all. Why? No one is watching the 'watchers'. Rigged Lotto means no one will play. I have said forever that the Texas Lotto uses the Store address and the zip code to go with the winning numbers - how do they decide AHEAD of time, since it is usually a Quick Pick? I mean, what are the odds of a store's address and zip code figuring into a QP? It would have to be BEFORE the supposed ball drawing. Want an example? Got one for

Lottery Post member turns up the heat on the Hoosier LotteryNews Story
Is the Indiana Lottery vulnerable to inside tampering? By Kevin Leininger Fort Wayne News Sentinel You'd think Jim Grimes would be happy. After all, the retired Noble County engineer, whose concerns about the integrity of the Hoosier Lottery were the subject of a column in June 2004, helped spark an investigation that led to three indictments in an alleged million-dollar scam. But, if anything, Grimes is even more frustrated than he was when we first talked nearly two years ago - even

The daily lottery was originally a Harlem game — then the government wanted inNews Story
By Bridgett M. Davis In the early 1920s, Casper Holstein, a black man from the Danish West Indies who worked as a porter for a Fifth Avenue store, liked to study the Clearing House totals published in a year's worth of newspapers he'd saved. The Clearing House was an operation that managed the exchanges of money among New York City banks on a daily basis. It occurred to Holstein that the numbers printed were different every day. Until then, lottery games existed, but the winning numbers we

Mass. Lottery retailers fight online sales billNews Story
The Massachusetts Lottery says it could stop being successful unless a bill allowing online ticket sales becomes law, while retailers say their future success hinges on the bill not becoming law.

The Lottery is seeking authority from the Legislature to offer its current products scratch tickets, draw games, Keno and more to customers over the Internet, arguing that the Lottery's survival
