Idaho RaffleReply
Holy carp, there's an article at the Idaho Lottery site saying several workplaces and families are starting pools for this. For a mere million! Me thinks they haven't thought out how much (little) they'll get if they actually do win the million. Tickets are only $10, buy your own for heaven's sake. So, any other Idahoans buying raffle ticket(s)?

Texas Lottery to add 'Sum It Up' feature to Pick 3 gameReply
If you want to have your eyes opened about the Texas Lottery, read Dawn Nettles' article in the Texas Lottery Report about the dishonest bet the state accepts on pair sums. They accept the sum bet on pairs and don't pay up if the sucker wins. TLC doesn't mean Tender Loving Care down here in the Lone Star State. We have a saying down here: Don't piss on my boots and tell me it's raining! Orangeman

Britain's biggest lottery winner says jackpot ruined her lifeReply
Why would you post this? The woman did not even comment on the article. It wasn't witty or funny. Just mean.

Britain's biggest lottery winner says jackpot ruined her lifeReply
That's what I got from the article. The publicity may be part of the problem, but it sounds to me like her biggest probems are that she isn't (yet?) comfortable with that amount of money and she no longer has a routine to keep her occupied. The latter is the reason that a lot of people have a lot of trouble when they retire. It takes a while to adjust to any significant change in your life, and suddenly having another 40 to 60 hours of free time isn't a good thing unless you can find a way to d

So do I ! The article seems to indicate she's depressed, and that doesn't go away just because someone wins a lot of money.

QuestionReply
Well, durn! I was hoping the article was the real McCoy. As I deal with pattern and relationships of those patterns, I had high hopes of increasing my knowledge. So it was a joke, huh? Well, I don't think messing with my lottory is comic material. And I will wager a $1 dollar Lotto 5 ticket that Jack Whitaker agrees with me.

Record powerball lottery winner reflects on sad lifeReply
I think one problem with posting is that many of us are misunderstood since there is no face to face dialog. It's often hard to express what you want to say in a few words. Then the person who is reading them might be in a good mood, bad mood or simply read them too quickly. Anyway, What I meant by don't be ridiculous is I thought you were saying that maybe it's not such a good thing to win money and I would love to win a million dollars, even 2! I actually don't want the responsibi

Lottery 'glitch' leaves players suspiciousReply
from the article: The glitch might not have happened at all if the lottery had bought the software to pick the random numbers from a different vendor. A Rhode Island firm, Szrek2Solutions, proposed a system costing more than $100,000 less than the one offered by Smartplay. _______________________________________ I corresponded with Irena Szrek and her husband in 2003, when LosingJeff and I were investigating the Hoosier Lottery's fraudulent operation.
