Skill games remain banned in Kentucky after judge dismisses lawsuitReply
Churchill Downs does not own all of the gaming facilities. KY made a killing off of Sports Betting, far exceeding expectations. One day KY will legalize 'slot' machines statewide AND poker tables, Roulette etc. $$ speaks.

Mississippi Lottery passes $2 billion in gross salesReply
Played their lottery in Biloxi finally. Noticed they just added Double play to Powerball. A letter was mailed to them to compliment on them getting a lottery because they did not rush into it and memory says they thoroughly researched other lotteries before starting. Mentioned before, I think about WDRB interviewing me a year ago November regarding sports betting in Kentucky. I don't do that but mentioned folks will just go to neighboring states to bet. It did not pass, then suddenly it went

Court finds that skill games are legal in PennsylvaniaReply
The last paragraph about SUMS it...more money for the state coffers if that goes through. Not sure if this is the same thing, we had 'grey' slot machines in some small businesses and just recently outlawed for good, however there are still ads for some kind of slot machines in Louisville but very limited hours. The voters got their wish for sports betting here. I'm too dumb to understand it and don't want to bother folks playing on the machines. The state adds 9% for the machines and wh

California woman who overcame homelessness wins $5 million lottery prizeReply
My favorite kind of story...rags to riches feel good story. Memory says some guy I think in Illinois was still homeless when he won buckets of money on a lottery ticket. OTOH Massachusetts getting closer to having on-line lottery sales. They just passed on-line sports betting. Funny the article had the same argument used here in KY that it would hurt brick and mortar stores. This has been disproven. My goodness, my Puritan minded homestate coming out of 1620 mentality. Happy De

Probability of Winning the Powerball JackpotReply
I've always thought the best way of showing probability is as a percentage. Many NCAA basketball predictors give the round by round probability of teams advancing. With basketball sports betting there is a money line and a point spread. While St. Mary's would be considered the odds favorite over Gonzaga because the point was minus 2.5 and the money line favored St. Mary's; bet $120 to win $100. Some could use that info to say St. Mary's was a 6 to 5 favorite with an 83% probability of winning th

spreadsheet for lottery
That seems interesting on either big game. I am curious to what spreadsheet that person used. Not worried it was 41 yrs as the article says. I am wondering what he did on the spread sheet. I was told on another website, a sports betting site, there is another way of doing powerball and mega millions and it depends what numbers are drawn and how it is done. The combos yes agreed but I am trying to find the pattern. usamega has great resources but I understand there is another w

Alabama Lottery bill falls short by one voteNews Story
Alabama lawmakers sick of indecision following years of debate By Kate Northrop A bill to authorize a state lottery and casinos in Alabama failed by just one vote, the closest the state has ever come to enacting a state lottery since 1999. One vote made the difference in the Alabama legislative session, resulting in voters just barely missing out on seeing a lottery question on the ballot this year. The last time Alabama residents saw a lottery proposal in the voting booth was in
