Breakfast buddies file suit over lottery ticketReply

Based on what's in the article there are a lot of claims by the people suing, but not a lot of facts. One of the claims doesn't ring true, though. Why would it take a month for the store to

SoCal man sues to get share of $315 million lottery jackpotReply
I don't agree. I've never been one to argue over money. But you know what? I've been stupid! To make my life easier I often gave in, but as long as people are honest and know a decision is fair and just, they should always defend their position. This is a matter of principle. If he was not an active member in the pool, then he doesn't deserve to get a share. What's to prevent others from following his actions? We really don't know the entire story, but if the article which states he hadn't pla

Jack Whitaker, worse than you thought.Reply
I agree it's sad when when anyone suffers with pain and depression. But NOTHING I read about another lottery winner would make me think twice about winning a big jackpot. I'm not a greedy person, but money would solve a lot of my problems right now. I never will understand how having money can be a burden. To me a financial burden is when you're in pain and can't afford a doctor or have to go to work with a backache or puking from the flu because your kids need to eat. Having money isn't the

Schoolchildren's 'Lotto Tree' Removed From Oklahoma CapitolReply
From the article:What causes Terrill concern is the message that a Christmas tree decorated with lottery tickets gives kids. He shared his concerns with Westwood's principal, who then asked the governor to take down the tree.Terrill doesn't say what that message is, but is it any more sinister than the message sent by funding the children's education with the same dollars that paid for those losing (oops - I mean used ) tickets?Maybe I don't read as well as the rest of you, but it seems to me t

Newspaper takes a hard look at the N.J. LotteryReply
I look at the issue like this:The people who buy the most tickets are also the ones who win the most. So there is a real upside that a LOT of poor people becoming instant millionaires. In fact, according to the logic outlined in the article, MOST of the new millionaires should be previously-poor people.It is quite natural that rich people will not play the lottery as often as poor people. Especially the jackpot games. It also explains why so many people start buying lottery tickets when Powe

Newspaper takes a hard look at the N.J. LotteryReply
Per law the lottery is played by adults. The amount of dollars being spent are inflated dollars worth less year after year so the increasing numbers of $$$ is a lesser significant point in their weak argument. It is played more in lower income areas because people see it as a viable means of escaping the niche they're in and moving up the socio-economic ladder through a win. It offers both hope and a tangible means of achieving their desires which are in short supply in those areas. Winning th

Phased Ocurrence ComparisonsReply
I post a similar article earlier. I assigned letters to the earliest previous drawing that each number in the winning combinations has appeared. For example A=previous drawing, B=2 drawings back, J=10 drawings back, a=27 drawings back and etc. I then look for the most common words (A-S) to pick combinations to play. I used the words because they do not focus on numbers and the numbers for my combinations fit similar words but are totally random. With MagaMillions, I haven't had much luck with

Why does this happen over and over again?
Hello All,Just wondering if anyone notices that Arizona seems to be very slow on putting out the lottery #'s..I found it tonight on another site but, was unable to find the Indiana results. The Indiana drawing is held at 9:30 at night.I figure since I'm on the east coast there is a time difference but, it's 1:24 am right now here and still no results and there web page is down.I think there might be some cheating going on with the west side doing lottery draws. Seems like some of these states la

Your lottery pool won,but you didn't playReply
There are 2 very recent examples of this here in Canada. In the first one, where 13 workers shared a $54M ($45M US) Jackpot in Alberta, there was one other that did not play because he was away the day the numbers were picked/played ... he expressed deep regret for not participating, and happiness for the winners, but placed no claim for a share.However, the winners were heard to say on the news they were considering givig the guy some of the winnings anyway, not a full share but a substantial a
