Lottery winners say most fun was giving money awayReply
What an uplifting story. My Christmas wish is for Al's heath to improve so they can make that trip to Branson and to Hawaii.

Penn. woman wins lottery prize of $1,000 a week for lifeReply
Guiher, who has worked as the secretary for Saltsburg Middle/High School for 36 years, was planning to retire within the next few years. Now, Guiher says the extra annual income from the Lottery prize may allow her and her husband, Dennis, to retire earlier than expected.We have to get our ducks in a row first and then we can retire, said Guiher, who wants to invest most of her winnings, although she said they plan to splurge on a trip to Hawaii that is always good to hear!! Congrats

Georgia lottery players take 'Mega Road Trip'Reply
We never have promos like this here in MI. We have second chance drawings, but nothing this extravagant. Ooh, once in a great while, maybe a trip to Vegas. Maybe once a pair of tickets to a really special event- not in Hawaii, not in California, but 30 MILES AWAY in MICHIGAN! It seems that MI wants its players to win prizes lately, and not $$.

Can you beat the odds to win the Powerball jackpot?Reply
Of course he's right. Having one number is fun, you can dream, but if you buy 20 and win nothing, you really feel like that money could have been put to many other better uses. It's fun to spend a dollar and dream of your clifftop Hawaii bungalow, not as much fun lose more than that going after almost impossible odds.

Mississippi Lottery announces new Cash 4 gameReply
Their lottery has done very well since its inception. Now if Alabama folks would be offered the chance to vote on a lottery then it would leave four states without a lottery. Alaska, Hawaii, Nevada and Utah all without. The last two never will...perhaps none listed will!

Hawaii is the latest state to take first steps of starting a lotteryReply
The five Hawaii Counties are spread out over several islands and hopefully each will have a terminal and a place to cash winning tickets over $6. Using Internet sales help that. The distance between the islands isn't the problem, but it's not the same as getting in our cars and driving if the nearest store if one is not on your island. Because of the distance between cities, if Alaska ever purposes a state lottery, Online wagering will be a must.

California Lottery official dismissed amid investigationsReply
Public officials are held to much higher standards than the private factory worker at an after hours party. It used to be rather common to read about boondoggle official trips being held in Hawaii, etc. and matters like that are given a higher level of scrutiny by both the government and the public. When you are a public official, you are considered on duty 24 hours a day. The reason for his termination is obvious and he was in management as well. Such conduct erodes public trust in lottery offi

Mississippi Lottery working to get operational this yearReply
Still waiting for Mega Millions to come to Puerto Rico; is there website still down? I can't find it anywhere. With Hawaii it would be strange to have an early afternoon cut-off to make up for the East Coast time difference for drawings.

Mississippi Lottery working to get operational this yearReply
Am truly happy for the residents of Mississippi. They deserve a lottery. Personally don't think it'll make much of a dent in MM or PB, but you never know. That will the last state to get a lottery-oh, let me digress, maybe Alabama? But you can bet that Alaska, Hawaii, Nevada and Utah will never have one.

California Lottery officials seen in bawdy photos sent to governorReply
Hawaii doesn't have any kind of legalized gambling because of some very large, heavily tattooed bouncer looking types with Japanese backgrounds. You could say they are potblockers from the Dick Butkus school of blocking.
