Colorado Lottery Vending Machines Now Require ID Scanned
I'm a regular lottery player and have been living in Colorado for a little while now. I still have my Oregon ID card (state issued ID, not a drivers license). I don't drive so I haven't been in a hurry to get a Colorado ID since my Oregon ID doesn't expire for almost 10 years. Anyway, I found out today while trying to buy lottery tickets at my usual vending machine (at Safeway) that they now require you to scan your state issued ID in order to use the vending machine. It scans in the same pl

Colorado Lottery Vending Machines Now Require ID ScannedReply
They just started this within the last week. So maybe they're still working out the kinks... But good to know it works in other states. That gives me a little hope that the Colorado Lottery with figure it out.

Will I pay state tax twice if I play MM in a different state?Reply
Good luck! Several years ago I took a business trip that gave me a chance to play in 3 states. The trip was to Idaho, so I bought tickets there before leaving. When I changed planes in Denver, I bought tickets for the Colorado lottery, then when I got home to Louisiana, bought tickets here. Didn't have any winners, but it was fun to try.

Could all lottery drawings be fixed?Reply
My Theory of state lottery control of winners in a drawing is this: In COLORADO, for example we have Lotto and Lotto+. On the Last 7-6-22 drawing we had the number 8-11-15-20-23-24 as the lotto number And 8-11-15-22-23-24 as the ( +) number supposedly drawn. The drawing is a computer picked drawing, Not balls dropping in a bin. It is said to be random generated. I do believe lotteries are controlling the results of a drawing for simply not wanting to break the bank. After all it's a multi

State-by-State Comparison: Scratchers Sales vs PB/MM Sales
I went through every US state lottery's most recent financial report to see how sales of scratchers compare to sales of Powerball and Mega Millions. Some states didn't have granular data available, but where it is available, you can see scratchers out-sell PB/MM by a wide margin. In two states (OR and SD) lottery sales are dominated by video lottery, and scratchers and draw game sales are just a drop in the bucket. Two other states (ND and WY) don't even sell scratchers. In all states, I did not

Asked ChatGPT How To Win the LotteryReply
Rather than going back and forth, I went to Quora and searched what mathematicians, statisticians, MBAs, etc., had to say. The question was, How doesn t buying two lottery tickets double my chance of winning the lottery, even if that chance is still minuscule? (not quite the same as reducing the odds, here we're talking about doubling your chances) You'll see some explain you can't reduce the odds, you can only increase your chances.
