North Carolina New Game
This was a News and Observer article but it does not give detail as to when this game comes out and neither does the NC website. The North Carolina lottery has come up with a new scratch-off ticket game offering the chance to win some very big bucks. But you have to be ready to shell out some big bucks to play. The lottery is starting its first $20 scratch-off ticket, the $200 Million Extravaganza. The $200 million refers to the total prize money available, not the amount a single p

Whats Lottery Life II? I thought I had every lotto television show/special taped and I don't remember that one. If you are abbreviating how the Lottery Changed my life II- Yes I saw it. I have tried that a few times and didn't hit anything. And forgive me but I do sometime think that the lotter ESPECIALLY CALIFORNIA, has a way of telling what combinations hadnt been picked and has a way to make sure those are the ones that are drawn and I am talking about the ball drops, not the comp

Spending too much on Lotto Tickets?Reply
Just my opinion that with odds of over 195,000,000 to 1 for PB, I would be wasting my money. I Just play a buck QP and hope I overcome the astronomical odds. When Florida finally got PB a few months ago, the local newspaper had an article that quoted a scientist who compared winning a JP with PB has the same odds of getting hit by a meteorite. I have a friend at work who plays about 40 to 60 bucks a week, mostly on Fantasy five, and he's always broke. I try to tell him about the odds, but

N.J. Lottery goes from zero to highest tax rate in the USAReply
I don't know if you would call it retroactive . Taxes for this year are paid for this year. All of this years taxes are subject to change. Now if they tried to change laws for payments in 2008, now THAT would be wrong. Of course anybody who took their winnings in 25 or 30 payments in previous year would have to pay this year. All the more reason to take it in one lump sum and get to a true tax free state like Wyoming or Texas. I really don't think that too many people will feel sorry for lot

Lottery Post quoted in Powerball "what if" articleReply
Good points in that article. While the wealthy could very well try the strategy of buying every single combination they can have several obstacles: *Sharing with another jackpot winner who picked the same numbers. How painful would it be to share a jackpot with some random person who simply only spent $1 while you spent $195 million for that winning ticket. *The time constraints of actually buying 195 million tickets. Given there are only 86,400 seconds in a 24-hr day. It would be quite

Man claims he's owed Mega Millions in suit against Illinois LotteryReply
Not to call the guy a scam artist, but I'm not sure I believe him. Nothing against anybody about to read this part: I think this man might just be a slick lawyer. The article states he's representing himself in the trial, so there's little to no overhead cost to attempt to sue the Lottery. If he loses (likely) - He'll say some strong words and skip of to do whatever it is he does without it costing more then just a little time. If he wins (not likely) - He'll collect an unspecif

Imagine his surprise when he found out he actually won $500,000. He couldn t believe his luck. The decision to play Glittering Diamonds was purely coincidental after much discussion earlier about naming h

Numbers in the news...Reply
From a USA Today article on the new baseball stadiums in NY: Ticket prices draw fire The ticket pricing structure for the stadiumsalso is generating controversy, as many fans think they're being pricedout of seeing games. Yankees tickets will range from $5 forobstructed-view bleacher seats to $2,625; the Mets' prices will be from$11 to $695 (for opening day and the Yankees series). There's been more outrage since people haveseen the ticket prices, deMause says. People are saying, 'Wait

All you have done so far is speculate without proof, provided nothing but conjecture, and posted some contorted article which you may have even doctored up to suit your dubious claim of conspiracy ... it's all very weak. As far trying to deflect attention away from that by implying that I am defending GTECH that won't fly either, I'm simply looking at the historical records which in no way support your disjointed ramblings. IF (and that's a very BIG if) you could have proven any claim of

Woman claims Publix cashier threw away winning lotto ticketReply
Something doesn't jive here. She bought them earlier in the week and didn't even pay attention to what the numbers were. Then it says Annie's son called to share the good news. My son had called me and told me, 'Mom, you know that 3131 came', and I said, 'Uh uh, you joking'. He said, 'Yes it did, I'm looking at the print out right now,' Annie said. Did she call her son or did he call her? If she didn't know what numbers she played, how would her son know she won? Maybe it's just t
