UK Lottery 'Millionaire Map' obtainedNews Story
By Todd Northrop In the category of 'better late than never', UK National Lottery operator Camelot has forwarded a copy of the Millionaire Map to Lottery Post for review. Happily, this reporter can verify that the numbers of millionaires reported by the lottery in their previous statements accurately mirrors the information displayed on the Millionaire Map, although the public may be skeptical of the ability to locate 'lucky stores' based on the rough geography depicted in the map.

Lottery winner almost out of cash three years laterReply
In these tough, economic times when people are losing their jobs, and Keith Bryce, who was fortunate enough to beat the lottery odds, there is absolutely no way he should be broke. Now, Keith, consider these finer points and take heed: 1. Perhaps, in your particular circumstance, you should have taken the annuity option: at least if you spent through your winnings like a drunken sailor the first year, your family and your friends would have to wait for the next yearly payout. 2. You could

British Columbia Lottery taking bets on US electionReply
The religious discourse aside, just who has been siding with Russia's hacking ? I've been making some jokes, because it's not nearly as serious as you're trying to make it*, nor was it a case of hacking . Podesta fell for a phishing scam, and the distinction is lost on the low information crowd such as yourself. You know the ones, the ignorant ones, AKA Democrats/Progressives/Leftists...the ones who want to want to place the blame anywhere but where it deserves to be - on their own shoulders. If

Atheist converts after mock prayer to win $1M lottery is answeredReply
gamermom, if you believe in the law of attraction , that fine, but the particular scenario that is happening to me currently, or the others that have happened to me previously, have nothing to do whatsoever with the law of attraction. for me, all i do is live my life while making it a priority to be obedient to Christ, knowing He has a specific plan for my life. because i am well aware of that, and i am willing to adjust to whatever He brings my way to let me know what that is, i always re

Record Powerball lottery winner ordered into substance abuse programReply
Here's a classic example of what I've been saying all along - there are rules and laws for rich people, and there are rules and laws for the rest of us. The two sets of rules very seldom coincide, but the powers that be would have you believe in equal justice under the law, for rich and poor alike. Justice is only equal if you can hire attorneys of the same caliber O.J. Simpson did. May God have mercy on your soul if, for economic reasons, you find yourself stuck with a public defender. These le

Massachusetts Senate weighing plan to give Lottery 'broad mandate' for online gamesNews Story
If the Massachusetts State Lottery is to continue to thrive and return hundreds of millions of dollars to cities and towns, it must have the ability to move online in some fashion, its executive director said, but it first needs permission from the Legislature to test the World Wide Web's waters. It's critical to the Lottery's future ability to produce revenue that we're allowed to engage clearly changing technology and, to me, what is a very strong change in the commerce pattern that consum
