$900 MILLION: Powerball jackpot rises, but sales miss in last draw makes for small increaseReply
Over 10 years ago I wrote what I would clear by winning the lottery way before the jackpots were big. I haven't consistently played the lottery like I use to since the Hot Lotto fraud scandal. I chalked up me buying lottery tickets as a way to fund those sharp criminals that find a way to collect money from the poor. Since I was reminded a few times of my goal recently it gave me the urge to play again. Here I am, I will try my luck 1 more time. If it works good if not it will certainly remi

Oh, those pesky leading 0's!Reply
I knew Gary would get the two reasons I brought up a fictional character from video games, but regardless the topic, pesky leading 0's was mentioned in every one of our posts. I'm pretty sure hijacking a thread is when two or more posters start discussing unrelated topics. Had one person actually justifying hijacking someone else's thread by saying others did it first. Similar to when Eddie Tipton justified rigging the Hot Lotto game by saying Nick Perry did it first. What do you think,

What are the rights of lottery players as consumersReply
I think you can get a good answer to your question by looking at what happened to the people who won the jackpots immediately after the fraudulent wins orchestrated by Eddie Tipton. The money claimed by Tipton and his accomplices obviously should have gone to other players but the lotteries fought the subsequent winners when they tried to claim to money that would have rolled over if Tipton's fraudulent wins hadn't taken it. In the case of the guy who won Hot Lotto the lottery tried to wease

$1.04 BILLION: Massive Powerball jackpot increases againReply
It is rigged but not in the way you think. The odds of winning either jackpot in round numbers are 300,000,000 to 1. That is roughly one ticket per every American. Think of it that way. The lotteries like it that way because as the jackpots grow, that is more money for the states coffers, which is why states allow them in the first place. Lastly, the larger the jackpot the greater reward for the state in which the winner is. California has a 12.3% income tax rate over $1,000,000 so if th

Massachusetts store clerk indicted after stealing lottery ticket worth $3 million from customerReply
Now why would they ask you that? Like I said in my last post, someone that actually won a $1 million plus jackpot could tell us the entire ticket validation process or a lottery official could too. Short of that we can only speculate on if the ticket holder is asked questions about purchasing the ticket. According to the article the guy that bought the ticket forgot his lottery tickets in the terminal tray , but when 45 minutes later when another customer bought tickets, Nunes entered

Why hasn't Lotto America been hit in ages?Reply
There are 52 (1-52) white balls in the first machine and 10 (1-10) Blue Star-balls in the second machine. Draws take place same days as PowerBall. Like PowerBall, there are 9 ways to win with minimum prize being $2 and the second prize being $20,000 The All-Star Bonus goes up to 5x meaning non-Jackpot winners could win up to $100,000 The states that played the Hot Lotto game (E.G. Iowa, Delaware, D.C, Tennessee, Maine, etc.) take part in this game. Minimum Jackpot is $2

definition of due, overdue and not dueReply
Not much difference between the definition of Frequent, Due or Overdue and Hot, Average and Cold. Way back in the day a friend gave me a copy of Expert Lottery for Windows and after entering past lotto results, the numbers were divided into three groups, Hot, Average, and Cold. The next step was placing six numbers from each group into a 42 line 4 if 6 of 18 number wheel. Most lottery lotto games had less than 50 numbers and some where two lines for a buck . The wheel wasn't designed to e
