Natural Diasaster LotteryReply
Even though there is corruption, it's still better to have some families benefit, than none at all. With that kind of jackpot, someone should hire an unbiased, objective, non-partisan group of people to oversee and weed out the cancer. Just imagine helping real people and not some governmental bureau which does well with pork spending......LOL

Anonymous winner in Indiana!Reply
Agreed Jim. The Hoosier Lottery is shameless in thier exploitation of winners. Given all the corruption at the Hoosier Lottery I have to wonder what's going on here. However, I say again that being able to claim your prize anonymously is a right every lottery winner should have. And it will be interesting to see if this starts a trend in Indiana of anonymous winners. Jim

lump sum or annual paymentsReply
Keep voting those liberals into office; and make sure you keep them there forever! If you need guidance, watch the New Jersey elections. One mind dead elderly person after another keeping corruption thriving. Now we have their children following suit, pleasing mommie and daddy by proving what great sheep they raised. Long live the unions, it doesn't get you quality, but does get you higher prices, and some one to talk with in the protest and strike lines. Look at what they did to the Americ

Headlines, LosingJeff Wins PowerballReply
Fabulous female. Sorry the Hoosier Lottery is giving you so much heck. We don't have a lottery in my state yet. It is forming and should be up and running in about a month. The heat is so hot on corruption before startup that the officials will probably wait a few years before they try to sneak something on us.

Illinois Lottery exploring Internet sales againReply
Anyone that has driven on IL highways in their travels know it needs money to get them up to the par of other states. Unfortunately, the money that was apportioned for the IL highway system via excessive tolls has been consistently stolen by secretarys of state, IDOT and right on up to the governor's mansion as long as I can remember....and that's a long time.The real question, is this just another treasury for more theft and corruption? IL has always been notorious in crooked contracts grante

Hoosier Lottery Does It AgainReply
@four4me:Well I am impressed! You got a very rational answer from someone at the Hoosier Lottery and that isn't (from my experience with them) an easy thing to do.I also agree with you point about disgruntled winners. Anyone who thinks a lottery is rigged just because they don't win is not (IMHO) very well grounded. But again the point with the Hoosier Lottery is that there is a history of corruption and secrecy at the Hoosier Lottery. And for those of us who have played for years and never

2005 a trying year for Texas Lottery chairmanReply
For a leader and troubleshooter, he managed to allow the lottery to still be one of jokes of the year. It may have looked good on the surface, but was a distaster at its core. Non-professionals showed the world that it was corrupt at all levels. All I would give him credit for is being able to white-wash the problem (for a while), and horrible management skills. End the corruption, and you get credit. Hide it, and you get zero credit. Then again, he made a billion dolars for the state, so

Wyoming voters to have no say on PowerballReply
A subtle but important distinction; political scientists refer to the USA as a Democratic Republic. The voters elect Representatives to govern on our behalf. Good idea most of the time, but special interests and corruption sometimes cloud the operation of our Representative form of Government. The Swiss are much more Democratic than we are. The population votes on all important national issues with a binding direct referendum. Issues like immigration,membership in international organiazations (U

TX Lottery Employee Fired After.....Reply
Corruption, once discovered tends to be spread among multitudes of people. Getting rid of one or two sacrificial lambs does not solve the problem. Enron is a prime example, only five people took down the whole corporation. That would be like saying Scotter Libbey acting in a silo, and associated with no one. Or Hilliary didn't really fire any one in the White House. Remember when you used to believe that mommie could kiss the boo-boo and make the pain go away? Same principle, except, now

N.J. store owners win lottery jackpotReply
I like Match-6 from PA - little expensive ($2.00 a ticket). Having said that, NY lotto manages to grow at a reasonable rate each week. For all the players in NJ, their totals hardly move each week. Something strange there. Is there any truth that NJ is changing its logo from the Garen State to the Corruption State?BTW - NY lotto has a promotion during August. Big bonuses for winning with the bonus number. Last week I have four number plus bonus; won $24.,00 During August the same combination wou
