Store clerk busted trying to scam undercover lottery investigatorReply
I don't understand why so many seasoned lottery players use the self scanners. There are so many ways available to find out what the winning numbers are. If you check your tickets yourself, you will know what you've won and YOU can tell the clerk what the amount is when you cash it. Yes, I am a seasoned player, but I am also human. With regards to scratchers, people often miss a winning number and throw away a winning card. I manually scan all my tickets that I know are winners, sometime

Lucky NJ man wins third major lottery prizeNews Story
The start of the New Year appears to be a lucky time for Mike Ducker. In the last week of December 2013, the year he started playing the lottery, he won $20,000 on a 20X Cash scratch-off ticket. Then just a couple weeks later, in January 2014, he claimed another $20,000 playing the same game. But those cash prizes pale in comparison to the $200,000 he recently won playing the $500 Frenzy game. On Tuesday, Carole Hedinger, executive director of the New Jersey Lottery, presented Ducker, a Br

Lottery Post member turns up the heat on the Hoosier LotteryReply
I want to respond to something four4me said earlier in this thread because I think it's important for Lottery Post members to understand why so many of us think the Hoosier Lottery is rigged. The point four4me made (and he can correct me if I'm wrong) is that larger volume retailers can expect to have more top tier prizes because they sell more tickets. I think there is a lot of truth in that statement. It stands to reason that if tickets are distrubuted randomly someone who gets 10,000 tic

Massive win right before bedtime is a dream-come-true By Kate Northrop Last Wednesday, Ronald 'Ron' Cumiskey, 60, nearly forgot to check his Lotto 6/49 ticket right before bed.
