N.C. Lottery posts record returnsNews Story
Loosened restrictions on prizes boosts revenue to the state The North Carolina Education Lottery may not be recession-proof, but it's posting financial returns that would be a long shot for almost any other business in this economic environment. The lottery generated $1.29 billion in sales in the fiscal year that concluded at the end of June, according to unaudited figures provided by the commission that oversees the games. That's a 19 percent increase over the $1.08 billion in gross sales

Can't Feed the Pig when Uncle Sam & The Lottery Steals all the Food
WARNING: LONG READ AHEAD I am truly sick to my stomach after analyzing the numbers of the PA Lottery. I'm using PA as an example, but Im sure whatever state you live in, the numbers are most likely similar. Right now, for every dollar in ticket sales, only $0.38 is returned to the players. I always believed the numbers were closer to 50/50, but thats not the case. So right now, if PA sold $1,000,000 of Cash 5 tickets, the pool is only going to be around $300k-$400k. Pretty significant chu

N.Y. Gov. wants to privatize lotteryNews Story
New York may try to cash in on the future its lucrative lottery as a way to create a permanent education fund, and Wall Street is interested in taking the bet. The stakes are high for everyone, from students who could get better education to poor communities that might see more grocery money scratched away. For state government, a long-term leasing for part of the lottery and part of its profits to a private investor for 30 or 40 years could attract a massive upfront payment, perhaps in th
