New Jersey Lottery will begin selling tickets onlineReply
It is ironic that the New Jersey Lottery is gearing up for on-line sales when they have the most dismal system of paying lottery winners above their $600 threshold. Right now, by their own admission on its website, it is taking lottery players an incredible EIGHT weeks to receive payment from the New Jersey Lottery.

Florida LLC revealed to have claimed $1.6 billion Mega Millions lottery jackpotReply
