Data breach at lottery tech vendor Brightstar exposes personal info of over 100,000 individualsReply
Just happened to click on a greyed out area of the Kentucky lottery website. Said 18 people who won a trip in 2017 2018 Wheel of Fortune scratch tickets were possibly affected. Starting my journey with the VA (28 years too late) was griping all the security steps one has to take, through a private vendor, after reading this well worth it. Historically don't pay much attention to companies that I have small investments in, and sure enough IGT now Brightstar.

Arizona Lottery bans Fast Play bulk ticket purchasesReply
Fast Plays are Scratcher-like games (some are duplicates of scratcher games) except instead of card, the play ticket is generated on the fly by the kiosk and replaces the play card. This opens up a number of security vulnerabilities in my mind if you have physical access to hack and reverse engineer a machine. I think they are putting too much confidence in a TPM chip securing the boot sequence. Some Fast Plays have progressive jackpots (9 of 36 games currently). A person can calculate the p

Mega Power Excel File & VideoReply
One thing I forgot to add regarding the Excel file is that the Workbook does contain macros so you will need to adjust your macro security setting in order to use the Toolbars in the workbook. You may also need to use the Trusted Settings to add this Excel file. You may also see the Enable Workbook. If you open the Excel file and notice the file name has the word Copy at the beginning of the file name, just save the file to another folder or to your Desktop and save the File without the word

Minnesota Lottery adds age verification to vending machinesReply
Same thing with alcohol, there are people willing to buy it for you. The thing with alcohol is that you don't need to redeem it to drink it . Now, when that minor who bought a ticket wins the jackpot or whoever the minor sends in the store, then the guys back at lottery security check the cameras to make sure that the ticket holder is the actual winner and not a friend of Eddie Tipton, suddenly mom and dad are not the person on the frame and then the whole shenanigans begin and everyone

I know that this is technically not a lottery question, it's about PCH Sweepstakes bankruptcy .Reply
He said this left him financially ruined and he can't find a job as he hasn't worked in roughly 10 years and is an older man. He said he blew his PCH Annuity payments frivolously Poor decisions can lead to all sorts of problems. If he's lucky some of that frivolous spending resulted in assets that can be sold, such as more house than a guy with a modest fixed income (he probably qualifies for social security) needs, and Walmart might give him a job as a greeter. What do the wronged PCH

Annuity or Cash ValueReply
What would be a reasonable cut off age where one says, heck no, am taking cash I don't think that whether or not you expect to live long enough to collect all of the payments is a good reason for making the choice between cash and annuity. Being older, within reason, could argue in favor of the annuity. If you're under 50 or 60 there are probably a lot more reasons you might want to spend a disproportionate amount of the jackpot in the first few years. If you're 70 and the cash value is $10
