Record lottery winner's business target of complaintsReply
Jack made two bad decisions after winning his lottery jackpot, 1.) going on national television (all 3 major networks) and 2.)promising to share his wealth with the needy, both which made him a national icon who can't fart without it being covered in the national news. RJOh

Company That Claimed to Sell Winning Lottery Numbers Will Pay RefundReply
Sounds likes Missouri is really the show-me State and you better not make any claims you can't show them. Of course if any company could create a list of numbers that would give any one a step-up to winning a lottery, they would be the first to use it rather than selling it, that a scam that the State should have to identify for its citizens.RJOh

Texas Lottery critic applies for Director positionReply
Todd:I bow to your experience along these lines. I don't have much knowledge of the history of lottery directors and their backgrounds as compared to the success and failures of the directors with each set of qualifications. My observation was only that.RJOH: Seemingly astute and valid points.Orangeman: The first priority of a leader is to cease thinking like a citizen and join the in-crowd. Thinking like a citizen's the sort of thing to get you excluded from the cocktail parties.Jack

B.C. lottery officials extend deadline to settle fight over jackpotReply
Some people have expanded that concept to include those co-workers who think about joining the pool but can't come up with the money as expressed in the story of the car salesmen lottery pool that won $16M. https://www.lotterypost.com/news/117884.htmWhen ever any one wins a big jackpot, everyone including their family, friends, neighbors, co-workers and even the clerk that sold them the winning ticket wants a part of it.RJOh

Clerk admits stealing Indiana lottery ticketsReply
$27,013.20 worth of tickets for $2,500.00 restitution, sounds like steeling tickets is cheaper than paying for them and if she had gotten lucky and won a big prize she could have fixed the books. I think they should also recheck the audit that came up with the 20 ticket, maybe it included a missing tootsie pop.RJOh

Lottery excitement builds as Mega Millions reaches $111 millionReply
All states are contributing 32% of their ticket sales to the jackpot, so if they all keep 50% for themselves that leaves 18% of their sales for the other prizes weather their payouts are pari-mutuel or fixed. The fixed amounts will equal 18% overtime. When New York had five 5+0 winners, their payout to their winners was greater than 18% for that drawing but will be balanced by other drawings when they have no 5+0 winners.RJOh

Mega Millions lottery jackpot increases to $97 millionReply
Last night I got another chance to play MM and I went early just in case I had to find another place to play. I played 25 lines and matched 3+0 and 0+1 for $9. I'm not coming out ahead money wise, but I'm ahead of the odds and you have to beat the odds to win.RJOh

Drug dealer must forfeit lottery jackpotReply
libra writes: The Police here are very careful, because the statutes on Civil Rights are carried and held very high, and they do not want to be accused of Racial Profiling or violating anyone's Civil Rights. Drug dealers come in all races, trashing their property may be violating their civil rights but it's not racial profiling, maybe occupational or outlawing profiling maybe. Successful drug dealers tend to blend into the neighborhood where they work and live.RJOh
