Nebraska Lottery marks 30th Anniversary with first $30 scratch-off gameReply
Unfortunately Nebraska does not have the population to support big ticket scratch games. Once the students go home, all you have left are cows and vast grasslands. They should have made the jackpot at least $1m. I hope this ticket sells well for them. They should have made it 30 first prizes of $300,000.00 each.

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

Maryland husband calls wife cheap for lottery strategy, but she wins $229,774 using her methodReply
Big difference playing 1.00 and 2.00 games and buying 20.00 and 30.00 scratch off cards to a budget. I fail to see what his problem is with her playing mostly cheaper games. It can't be the lucky numbers she uses at least on that 229k she just won since it was a quick pik. Strange reaction by him.

Michigan man wins his second six-figure jackpot prize from the same game this yearReply
No, Michigan is just weird. While Metro Detroit does have the most population there are some strange things happening elsewhere. I am trying to figure out why Gaylord has had two big $30 scratch wins for $4,000,000 each and a big 6/47 win. Gaylord is in Otsego county and had a population of 4286 in the 2020 census. Otsego county had 25,091 in 2020. The wins were $13.09 million in 2015 and $4mil in 2022 and $4mil in 2015. Marquette had a population of 20,629 in 2020 while Marquet
