North Carolina: 11/1 - 11/30/2011Reply
They got to make up for the $2.7 mil they paid out Saturday - https://www.lucke-zone.com/Details/2011/10/31/Record-total--Pick-4-players-win-2.7-million What's funny is read the comments - someone points out that the lottery can choose what they want, and lottery officials responded - Winning numbers are drawn at random according to the exact same procedures every time regardless of any other factors. You should attend a live drawing sometime to see just how careful we are to ensure the

Hopes for N.C. lottery still aliveNews Story
Dire financials may push lawmakers to use lottery as a solutionThe $1.2 billion revenue shortfall legislators expected to greet them as the General Assembly opened Tuesday may be enough to bring the lottery to North Carolina, area legislators said.There are 21 new members in the state House who could change the chamber's perennial vote against the lottery, said Rep. Dewey Hill, D-Columbus. And some who were formerly opposed to it, like him, may have changed their minds. I don't like the lottery,

Lottery rigger warned officials about computerized drawing machines years agoReply
Privatization of lottery operations is increasingly a concern. Even for lotteries that aren't fully privatized, as vendors take on more and more responsibilities. For example for the PA Lottery, despite it still being government managed, it seems officials have little control with vendors running much of the day to day operations. As for rigging draws to choose less wagered numbers, I've long wondered how much of that happens. About the only saving grace, for Pick-3 4 games, is the overall ta

Todd's Story RE: Lottery PostReply
There's a lot of discussion of numbers. However, there is certainly a lack of focus with many threads digressing into inane topics, and/or worse arguments. It seems the forums could be far more productive. Despite the forum flaws, LP is far more popular than I'd initially thought. Checked both Alexa and Quantcast, and both indicate LP is around the top 2000 most visited site with nearly 2,000,000 unique visitors per month. That's an amazing accomplishment. Todd is doing well In regards to

Proposed Buffett Rule and How It Would Apply to Some Lottery Winners Who InvestReply
THe last line sums up the entire theory behind a socialist/commune society. Funny how one actually agrees with something when trying to refute the very concept. True fact: Buffet is a natural leader for financials. Unlike Donald Trump who uses Bankruptcy to his advantage. True fact: The Rich remain such because of the tax system. Argue politics all you want...I for one tire of the ignorance spewed based solely on look what they did to us . Picking the lesser of two evils to argue a p

Detroit mega MillionsReply

I should send my husband in there to run the financials............it would get fixed quick.....that is hi

States pull the plug on Monopoly Millionaires' ClubReply
Many jackpot games don't take in enough to cover the initial jackpot. Pretty sure this is true with both PB and MM. Roll-overs are critical for profitability, since such games are designed to initially run in the red. Monopoly Millionaires Club required both high levels of sales from the get-go along with numerous, consecutive top prize roll-overs. Even with a decent level of play, MMC financials were going to be dicey - their sales projections were far too optimistic. And also, in my view, f

Lottery Post Founder featured in John Oliver HBO segmentReply
God, there is nothing worse than smug, sanctimonius dimwits like John Oliver. With nonsense like what he said you always inevitably get the people that think they are smart by saying the lottery is a tax on the poor and the stupid. These are the same people that then go spend $5,000/yr on cigarettes and another $10,000/yr on alcohol. The fact of the matter is there is no other investment that you can spend a buck or two on with the potential to make hundreds, thousands or even millions on. With

$50M Lotto Max jackpot finally wonReply
The MM and PB controllers said when cross selling of the games was authorized that a third Jackpot game is in the making. They didn't give any details about the new game. Just a few hints that it would be different. Given the games offered now, one has to wonder what would a third game entail. IMHO, I don't think any game requiring players to pick 5 from 65, 5 from 70 or any variation would sell. I can't imagine playing such a game. I don't think there would be a big demand. Sixty seems

Question for Todd and LP members.Reply
If you're looking for a super-easy way to get a credit card, check out PayPal. They have something called the PayPal Debit Card , which allows you to fund a debit card directly from your PayPal account. The debit card can be used at most ATMs to draw cash, or can be used at just about any place a MasterCard can be used. (Which is almost everywhere.) First you have to get a PayPal account, which is free to set up. Go to the New User Registration, then click the Get Started button under
