NY Dream Team 2023Reply
Funny thing is Reagan asked me about nft's other day and it reminded me of yeah that huge profit I made on the nft sales I made half a year ago...I kinda forgot all about that when I was organizing my taxes. I always get it all ready and usually get a refund. It only just occurred to me oh right I traded that for crypto which I sold for money which I now gotta bend over for the government to take a huge chunk of happiness. So today I filed an extension since I gotta do it over and had to

It seems pretty obvious to me that due to the fact that more often than not there is no jackpot winner for the midday Take5 drawing, ticket sales are very weak for the midday drawing. Players of NY's Take5 can easily see that if you buy a midday ticket there's a very good chance that nobody will win the jackpot, and therefore they opt for the evening drawing where the jackpot is won more frequently and it's usually bigger than the midday jackpot. I would point out however that NY has seen an

At about five minutes after one PM this afternoon the first midday drawing of FF5 is going to be held. I'm very curious to see what the jackpot amount will be provided of course, that somebody even wins the jackpot. I have to believe ticket sales over night last night were not very robust. There's no way they could have sold approximately $300,000 worth of tickets after eleven fifteen PM last night. If they did, half of that amount ($150,000) would have been allocated to the winners pool, an

A jackpot never increases with a roll down . Jackpots increase with a roll over. FF5's official rules were not changed. The only thing that is changing is the number of drawings per day. A rolldown of the top tier prize (the jackpot) is still going to happen. The official rules say absolutely nothing about the number of drawings per day, therefore The Florida Lottery does not have to change the official rules to add an extra drawing each day. FF5 uses a roll down , not a roll over . Me

New Mexico lawmakers introduce bill to end lotteryReply
This probably won't happen. Other legislators will realize how much money the lottery generates and will try to keep it alive. New Mexico isn't a wealthy state and doesn't have a lot of people, so I'm sure they'll try to keep the cash flowing. I wonder though if it's really a concern for low income people or something else. I live in a state that also has casinos and when a third casino wanted to open in my city, there was a lot of opposition and even a massive publicity campaign to keep it

How can past draws help predict the lottery?Reply
Hi CottonEyeJoe, Agreed. When I use to tend bar in Jersey City, the property was a block up from Holland Tunnel NY Exit side with a Lottery Kiosk and a C Liquor license which meant it could only sell soft and hard alcohol from over the counter with customers seated at a 14 seat bar. It was an extremely very busy place. We needed 4 on staff during peak times of the day. Anyhoo, I learned that way too many people on their way back into Jersey from their jobs in New York loved to put down a 'p

In the above post I wrote So yeah, Free Tickets aint much, but don't try telling that to a guy who has won a FF5 jackpot with one Told ya not to scoff at Free Tickets!

Iowa Lottery to shorten prize claim periods for multi-state gamesReply
The change has no monetary benefit to the Iowa Lottery, It frees up prize money for other games, and we all know advertising more money an boost sales. It might not be huge, but it sure sounds like a monetary benefit to me. it certainly gives no monetary benefit to the players. But, but, but ... it might make players less likely to lose their tickets. I'm willing to believe that there's a small possibility that one in a great while somebody might want to put off claiming the ticket

Americans gamble over half a trillion dollars illegally each year, AGA Report saysReply
Call me what you want but I say GOOD. The casinos are trying to get the IRS to raise the taxable limit from $1200 to $5K on slot winnings. Yet the debacle continues with lottery winnings taxed @ anything over $600. Makes a lot of sense doesn't it? The US Government should abolish the 1962 law forbidding sports betting/lottery sales across state lines. IGT did win their case for sports betting though. Boat loads of cash for the US Treasury because folks are going to gamble be i
