One of the things I complained about in my initial letter to the Hoosier Lottery is that they (the Hooseir Lottery) goes beyond that for their own purposes. They shamelessly exploit all winners because they believe it moti

Record Powerball lottery winner ordered into substance abuse programReply
Maverick:Thanks for your comments; I'm always glad to hear from you, even when you don't agree with me, because you actually contribute something to the topics that interest you.I don't necessarily believe that the working man is a sucker.

Iowa Lottery starts its own Pick 3 and Pick 4 drawingsReply
I'm from Illinois and I would be very happy to share Indiana's Lottery machine results. It's not right having computerized drawings where you can't even see the numbers drawn.
