Maryland Pick 5 No trip Pairs or Quads. SuspiciousReply
Chip Polsten was a fantastic public relations director for the Kentucky Lottery. One of the best. He was also a real advocate for lottery players, and always read what people were saying on the Lottery Post forums because he cared about the players, not just the corporate stuff. Being from Kentucky he loves Corvettes too, which is always a plus in my book.

Virginia Lottery Director Khalid R. Jones appointed as Mega Millions Lead DirectorReply
Hopefully he's intelligent enough to decrease the game price Unlike a lot of people here he's intelligent enough to know that the lottery's only marketing concern is maximizing revenue, and the $5 tickets are probably doing that. I'm pretty certain they wouldn't be changing leadership if they were happy with the current set of changes Did you read the story?

Also the station's art director created the weighted balls for the draws. For some reason this saga is commonly brought up when someone accuses a state lottery of rigging.
