Powerball lottery madness spreads to big mediaReply
Mrmst:Your point serves to illustrate how the Hoosier Lottery has gotten away with bilking the people of Indiana for so many, many years. People here watch the drawings on TV, so they're certain they're watching ping-pong balls being drawn. What they're actually seeing is the animation, which has been cleverly designed to resemble a mechanical drawing. When I tell them the numbers have been drawn electronically since 2000, they don't believe it; they refuse to believe it because THEY'VE SEEN THE

Canada couple loses out on $1.64M jackpotReply
That's the way it works with good people with compassion, integrity, principles and values, Nick. But it seems when it comes to money, those traits go out the window many times in today's world. This if it feels good, do it lifestyle that the libs have foisted upon us over the last 50 years is eating at the fabric and backbone of this country like a cancer. A man's word used to be his bond. Not any more. Now it doesn't mean anything to anybody who grew up under the agenda of today's

Do Wealthy People Play The Lottery?Reply
Only when most people won't stand up and demand their Constitutional Rights. And that sits well with the powers that be. There is a movement afoot now emanating from the current administration to marginalize and ultimately do away with our Constitutionally guaranteed freedoms. It relies on masses of lazy and ignorant people to further its progress. This movement dominates our educational system, our news media and entertainment industry. Those three enterprises serve to seek out and demoni

Tennessee Lottery shortfall requires reservesReply
Thanks Todd for giving me credit for this story I try and send any pertinent information to you instead of posting it. Since you have said so many times if we find something like a lottery related story to forward it to your PM box. I try and keep abreast of Tennessee's lottery ever since they screwed up their lottery by switching from real live ball drawings to computers to draw numbers. I still cant believe that Hargrove did this it pains me that somebody with her experience would tak

Infamous lottery winner Michael Carroll remarries ex-wifeReply
Meghan is a typical California airhead whose predominant desire is for wealth, fame and lots and lots of attention to the point of actually expecting people to take her seriously about anything remotely important. Outside the loony bin which is California, people wish she would just stfu and go away. Harry is just an entitled ingrate who came to our shores on the orders of his obnoxious wife. He thought it proper and trendy to insult and disrespect President Trump when he got here because of

Predicting winning numbers? Fact or fiction?Reply
Although I don't recommend QPs... but if you're not into studying your game of choice, then... the best time to buy QPs is when the jackpot is extremely high, buy tickets at the last minute... You'll know it's extremely high, for the major news media will start to talk about it.. That may be one of the reasons it's usually a winner in more populated States When all the combinations get used up.. there's bound to be a winner...I question the few occasions when the MM jackpot was resetting,

$650 million in lottery jackpots up for grabs this weekReply
Amazing how slow jackpots grow now. 28 drawings to get to $346 million annuity ($216.1 million cash). When the price doubles to $2, the jackpot will grow somewhat quicker initially, but then, as one already sees with Powerball, only grow moderately for awhile until it's around $300-$500 million. I've noticed even at $300+ million, there aren't lines; mostly still regular players wagering. $500+ million annuity will bring in casual players in droves with the news media touting how big the j

One ticket sold in Indiana wins $435 million Powerball jackpotReply
Congratulations to the winner S in Lafayette. Whoever it is will start telling little white lies. NO, I did not win it . I am sure that the local news media is all over this today. Their lives will have changed forever. Was it a quick pick? What did they do first after seeing that they held a piece of paper worth hundreds of million of dollars? Just like cash, It is a small piece of paper that carries a lot of weight. anonymous quote. Not mine. Each one of us dreamers wished t
