Northstar fights to keep Illinois lottery documents secretReply
Every time I read an article about a private company promising the state they can increase lottery profits, I have to laugh. How do you do that? 1) Sell more tickets. 2) Increase the odds. 3) Make it harder to win. At least according to the private co.

If the cards were defective then why did the casino use them? The guy is a nine time poker champion so obviously he knows what he's doing. Sounds like the casino is mad cause they got beat.

DC Lottery not paying winners during government shutdownReply
What if you have winning tickets and the shutdown lasts longer then the redeem by date to get your money? Not likely to happen, but the way it's going one never knows. 90% of the population thinks Congress is doing a lousy job. There is one thing that EVERYONE can do to change things. That is, Register to Vote and on Election Day vote all of their sorry asses out of office!!! Now, are we going to just sit around pissing and moaning or are we going to do something about it? It's up t
