Sex Offender Wins$57 Million in LotteryReply
*Feels like his posts are getting ignored.* At this point I'd still say he's no where near as bad as Daniel Snaycertainly should be open to being sued successfully. But I wouldn'twish him Topous well either. I doubt there's going to be any lawsuit when it comes to the girl (she'd be 21 or 22 now) against Fred Topous from the details in a link to a story in a previous post I made. Though the info I read does seem like quite the predator behavior, how many 35 year old men befriend 13 year

New Florida Lotto playslips a bother to someReply
The sad thing is all they have to do is go to the website and it plainly tells you what to play and what you will get for your play! DUH! Not everyone spends a lot of time on the internet reading about the lottery or puts winning the jackpot at the top of their to-do list. I don't think you read the article clearly. This was not a NEW game. People are just not interested in spending the extra dollar. I don't see the problem here. What's interesting is on the one hand people will call m

Geographical location and jackports.Reply
I'm not going to search for it, but recently an article in an Orlando newspaper, when reporting a large jackpot win, said something like miraculously, someone won who didn't live in Miami. Typical press release..not that 3 people in Miami won on the same night! TALLAHASSEE-- The Florida Lottery announced today that three players matched all five winning numbers in the Sunday, Feb. 17, FANTASY 5 drawing and will share a $198,646.74 top prize. The lucky winners will each receive $66,215.58.

Easy come, easy go... or maybe not!
I posted this news article about a guy who won a 1.8 million lotto, but the ticket originally was printed in error so he ask for it to be reprinted, which I did not know it could be done. Anyway what would you do in this situation??? Fight it out in court or throw chances to the wind, also has anyone encountered this issue with any ticket, winning or not??? It just seemed odd......

Give or take allReply
Pac The example in the OP is a wee bit far fetched, nobody is going to come into $200,000,000 and give it all way. They might give a large amount away, but take what's reamining and use it to generate more, but no one is going to give away $200,000,000. This thread is a good place to mention the nouveau riche . It's a French term meaning the new rich, i.e., people that come into a large amoung of money, enough to make them rich, but were not born into it or raised with it. Some of t

New Mexico man claims $200,000 prize hours before it would expireNews Story
Marguerite Padilla of Farmington wanted to rush to New Mexico Lottery headquarters three hours away in Albuquerque to claim a $200,000 prize. But her husband had other ideas. Timothy Padilla wanted to go elk hunting first. Not even a winning Powerball ticket could stop an elk hunting trip, he told lottery officials when the couple claimed the prize Wednesday. We had just enough time to do both things. Lottery officials warned last week that the $200,000 prize from the Aug. 15 drawin

The prediction software you've been waiting for?Reply
I am quoting the article The software can handle data loads that would overwhelm human analysts, while dispassionately exploring actions and behaviors based solely on the data, sidestepping human cultural biases that might prematurely rule out unorthodox or seemingly bizarre courses of action. If they would only have a software like that for the Stock Market or the lottery but more the Stock Market...Not saying they shouldn't continue what they are doing...But i believe a computer could

FINALLY: Here's the new feature I never released
A long time ago I referred to a new web feature that I built, but was on the fence about releasing. Among the various reasons for holding off is that I was considering writing a technical article about it first, and then releasing it simultaneously. However, I have come to find that I just don't have the time, so as a result the feature has been sitting there, unused for no good reason. I have have come to terms with it, and I'm finally releasing it for you all to use. Many people will

CBS publishes second hatchet job on lotteryReply
said that I think the statement that blacks are being manipulated is not only wrong, but insulting. Also, the new article mentions POOR PEOPLE, NOT RACE. The amount of money you have is not a race issue, and I'm not about to make it one. I have no idea where you get your statistics from, because I don't think you're using any. The actual statistics of winning ticket distribution consistently show that there is no bias against any particular geographic or socio-economic areas. It is comp

Paranoid or Prudent?Reply
The officials have absolutely nothing to worry about, as of yet. After a pre-test or two, rotating tubes, it'll be as random as possible. They make sure thet do away with any possible examination of a particular tube's history. And BTW, Pre-tests do absolutely nothing in preventing future breakdowns. Infact, they accelerate the process. There is no such thing as perpetual motion, thus the more you use it, the sooner it will eventually break down. Obviously, they're playing dumb and trying
