Canada to change Lotto 6/49Reply
Well in this instance how does one know if the free play takes over for a real money prize and is deducted as so. A free play is worth about 50 cents, and if its represented as a buck in the prize pool than its highway robbery and smoke and mirrors.

California Lottery wants changesReply
Its simple raise the payout amount and advertise it like crazy and that will lead to more sales. Im sick and tired of these states like Illinois using semantics to change the game (Little Lotto) to hoodwink players into thinking they are getting a better deal with a game when in essences its smoke and mirrors as the only thing that matters is payout percentage, and that is stuck at a measly 50%. To me PA has the best Take five game out there.

$83M Mega Millions jackpot claimed in GeorgiaReply
Well, it'll still take hundreds of journalists to sift through, and really only high-profile people will get attention, politicians, athletes, CEOs, I don't recall any leaks about some random Billy Jones with an LLC somewhere in the Carribean. Also, this info didn't come out with just FOIA requests or journalist effort, an internal informant had to leak it. At that point someone in the bank's backroom could just tip the press off to what a fat check you just cashed that somehow exactly mirro

Lottery: Promises and pitfallsReply
It makes people more accepting of the lottery, he said. One of the things that we found in our surveys is that if the lottery money didn't go for education, people wouldn't support it. If that's the smoke and mirrors trick it takes to cause voters to allow lotteries to exist, let her rip. The 'support' side of the equation almost certainly involves political rhetoric. On the side where someone plunks down a buck for a ticket 'support' doesn't have a thing to do with where the money ends up.

Texas Lottery jackpot game tickets in sales declineReply
Lotteries all over the US with falling revenues could learn much by your statements!!!I used to send money or trade tickets with my cousin in Texas when the matrix was 6/49 but she and I both gave up when they raised it ... she also told me that many people she knew were ceasing to buy tickets due to Texas Lottery greed.The key to game participation is not ratchetting the matrix up. We have two major lotteries in the US with jackpots high enough to satisfy $$$$$$$ chasers who don't get off the d
