Some posters mentioned state run Online lotteries so I'm wondering if anyone here signed up and plays. Four minute Keno seems to be a favorite in KY, but saw where a player won $5400 playing pick-4 Online, another won $5000 playing Lucky for Life, and there was a $20,000 winner on one the Online scratch-off type games.
Wondering how many people bought MM and PB tickets Online from their state lotteries during the last jackpot runs too.

Most states with four minute Keno have the same payoff, but they're all much lower than what live casino Keno and video Keno machines pay. A lottery Keno 5-spot pays $410 while the video and live games pay over $800 and some $1000 or more. A 4-spot pays $72 compared to at a minimum $125 for live Keno and some casinos pay $200.
The KY Online pick-3 and pick-4 have a glitch because while it says you can play both draws, if you click "next" and "2 draws", you'll get the next drawing for 2 draws. Not really a biggie because the games can be played using a smart phone. Hoping to get lucky and win something over $600 to find out if the getting paid is complicated and how long it takes.

Followed a link to Youtube videos about lottery winners and tips on playing lottery games and found lots of video Keno tips. Don't know how to apply the four card keno tips to the four minute lottery games, but some of our system makers might benefit from some of it.
The tips are mostly based on finding and then playing discernible 5 and 7-spot patterns. Some are just playing a section of the 80 number grid using nine of the numbers and creating 5 and 7-spots. Finding patterns in MM or PB are much more difficult because Keno draws 20 numbers and hitting a 5 or 7-spot isn't life changing money, but I don't personally know anyone winning life changing money playing MM or PB either.

Saw a video showing a guy scratching a roll of tickets and that was almost as exciting as the "watch the paint dry" videos. Some of the slot machine videos are 30 minutes or more of someone losing lots of money, but there are a few that were edited showing hand pay winners. Don't really see the object of posting videos showing nothing, but that doesn't stop people from posting "nothing" on Facebook and Twitter.
Maybe the next step in state lottery Online wagering evolution could be Internet Poker and sports betting. PokerStars is currently licensed in Michigan, New Jersey and Pennsylvania and Delaware, Nevada, and West Virginia offer real money Internet poker. There is amulti-state pokeralliance too that could eventually create a several state something similar to MUSL.

Don't know what the anti-gambling folks think about state run Online lotteries, but people can buy their favorite numbers from their smart phone or play four minute Keno.

Problems start when a 90 years old lady lost all her cash playing online. That might hit the ministry.

Yep and that was one of the top arguments against lotteries when they first began. But when they found out 99% of the players are under 90, they decided to create Online playing. The maximum deposit is $850, hopefully someone is watching their elderly relatives finances.
Watched people put hundreds into kiosk machines and buying scratch-offs over the counter. But what people spend in stores and/or Online is there business.

Also youth. Those use their parents' credit card. A young excolleague used his father's credit card to pay porn sites when he was under 18. I heard that he spent a fortune on that enjoying it so much.

Party Gaming was a publicly traded company and their stock dropped 60% when the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act was passed. Before that people played Online Bingo for pennies a card. The Bingo sites were offshore with a few based in Canada.Internet Horse Racing which is based in the U.S. was not effected by the UIGE.
State lotteries that offer Online wagering restrict players to be within their borders and my state lottery requests a SS number to join. With so many transactions people can make on the Internet, gambling is becoming another option.

Bingo is a pub game, or caféspel. You generally find 2 or 3 of them in a pub with a license for, I think, class 3 games. For a year, I worked in class 1 and that required, yes, a license. For that license I had to be 1 day in Brussels. There they were talking about suicides to grandmas gambling, kids crying ... (crooks). Those tv call games, money laundry ... (...).

The Online version of Bingo consisted of buying cards for dimes and quarters, the called numbers were marked on the cards, and the screen would blink when a player got a "BINGO". That gave the players plenty of time to chat and socialize and probably why they played. It wasn't about gambling.

Such a bingo doesn't exist around here. We have a daily 20/70 pick 2 to pick 10. I saw videos and read articles about it. The problem of the players often was the formulation, or they would have needed more cards. They for example would have needed a full key wheel or a certain filtered set. So they eventually came up with special notations. That part is interesting.
Gambling means wagering with the goal of winning. It is better than sports as you normally don't get money back from stepping on a treadmill.
You might learn of patterns and more with the local bingo.
If you cannot play when betting real cash, then you are a bad player. You swim in water, not on a chair in the kitchen.
The online poker was very popular. They also coded chatboxes. We don't think that they were honnest. You better play in a casino with a dealer and under supervision.

Playing Bingo was very popular when I lived in Ohio and people played at Bingo Halls seven nights a week. So playing Online was just an extension of that. Those people were playing for real money and deposited money into their accounts using sites like PayPal or Neteller.
Saw ads for real money Online casinos but illegal here. Online poker is legal in five states and sport betting in 19.
"The online poker was very popular. They also coded chatboxes. We don't think that they were honnest."
The founders of Full Tilt, Jesus Ferguson and Ray Bitar found a very interesting way to skim money from players accounts and were finally caught when the U.S. Justice Department seized their domain and denied access to the site. They couldn't pay up all the money in the accounts. I played at Poker Stars and because I won a couple tourneys a week before Black Friday, withdrew the most of money from my account. Read where some lost thousands at Full Tilt.
