UK Lottery announces 'Millionaire Map'... but doesn't reveal the mapReply
The UK National Lottery or its operator Camelot did not respond to Lottery Post's request to see the map. Seems Muckety Mucks will be Muckety Mucks whether inside the government or otherwise with their big heads getting in the way of good judgement. Gotta wonder what lame-brain decided to tell the public they had a map like that, that would arouse everybody's interest, if they weren't going to show it. Schmucks.

Missouri Senate to discuss privatizing state lotteryReply
That's what I thought at first too, because the media always wrote about selling the lottery , but in fact they're not selling the lottery outright. In fact, it probably would be against the law to do so. They are selling a contract for running (operating) the lottery. The government puts the contract out for bid, and evaluates all the companies to see who does the best job while returning the best profit. That's the process Illinois completed, and they awarded a ten-year contract to three co

Euro Millions 44/2010 prediction for next fridayReply
British lottery unclaimed An update from Mick to the above, I just logged on to my on-line account and had to accept new conditions. Camelot, the UK National lottery operators are tightening up the rules on who can buy tickets. You must now be physically in the UK, (not just resident) to buy any ticket or set up an account and if you win and they find out they will take away the prize. That's really annoying if you have a system that requires last minute info and you wanted to go overseas.

Poll - PB & MM vs a National LotteryReply
If should not be a matter of a State Vs Federal. Let's have both, and let the people decide. Some will decide to play their local state lottery, some will play the US Lotto, some will play both. And the vocal minority who are opposed to lotteries can choose not to play any! EVERYONE WILL BE HAPPY! As the Federal Government needs more revenue, and while a US lottery would not solve all it's financial woos, it would raise billions of dollars, the UK National Lottery has proven that. The whole c
