Maryland Lottery to switch to computerized drawingsReply

$1.33 billion Powerball jackpot won by one ticket sold in OregonReply
I don't believe the lottery is rigged (at least the non RNG games). But, I will say that this is the 2nd time that Powerball has had to delay results. The 1st time this occurred, there was a huge drop off in the rate of sales, and they still haven't recovered that volume from one draw to the next. This is because of those that do believe that the lottery is rigged. Powerball really isn't doing themselves any favors by having another issue with a delayed result unveiling. This really makes me que

Americans gamble over half a trillion dollars illegally each year, AGA Report saysReply
The IRS would never go for not taxing the first $5K which would be nice. Your last sentence struck a nerve. Could swear I asked Todd where the lottery lobbyists are---if they exist. Looked up two lottery organizations and seem like non-lobbyists. They were more like national/international organization that has members. Like the American Medical Ass'n et al. That's the problem if no lobbyists exist nothing will change.

Accidental lottery ticket purchase nets Maryland couple $2 million in PowerballReply
Yes, the message was meant for you. IGT=International Gaming Technology; WOF=Wheel of Fortune. Our machines also have a total touch screen but no replay feature per se. If you win I think under $50 it asks if you want credit or delete. One game, Cashball 225 you may win a free ticket here and there and it'll print a new ticket with different #'s. Here when you call the KY help desk it really goes to RI IGT service center and I think it got cut down to 7 states. They are very good and hav

Winner of $95 million Lotto Texas lottery jackpot gamed the odds to winReply
Well, I use a courier service to buy tickets in overseas lotteries..
