GOP legislators question math in Texas lottery-sale planNews Story
Texas Gov. Rick Perry's proposal to sell off the state lottery to fund cancer research and health insurance was met with skepticism Tuesday from a number of key Republican lawmakers who said the numbers don't add up. I don't know anyone who's supporting it, said Rep. Warren Chisum, R-Pampa, who chairs the powerful House Appropriations Committee. I'd give it only a 10 percent chance of passing. In an e-mail, Sen. Robert Duncan, R-Lubbock, who heads the Senate State Affairs Committee, sa

Vt. Lottery computer glitch creates extra winnersReply
Well I am one of them that is willing to see where the urban myth of LOCAL TERMINAL RNG's is documented and in print. Can you explain why ALL the supposed ISOLATED LOCAL RNG's produced the same Quick Picks SYSTEM WIDE? What don't you understand about the words SYSTEM WIDE? Reread the article. Talk about cluelessness. What kind of cliche' of stupid is that? What does a knowledge of math have to do with how man-made randomness works or applies to buying a Quick-Pick? What don't you get and wher

$935 MILLION: Powerball lottery jackpot nears billion-dollar milestoneReply
It seems Mega can't never get close to the Powerball record. I'm actually waiting to see if we will ever beat the 2 Billion record. I feel this pot going to climb into the top 3 but I don't think it will beat Edwin Castro jackpot. It will reach a billion by Saturday for sure. I'll just get my one ticket with the Powerplay on my own. Not going to go crazy like everyone around the country. Odds stack tremendous against us but it only takes one ticket to win. Plus I'm in a lottery group of 82 peopl

Single mother who won $6 million in lottery opens up about the good and bad of winning millionsReply
Or maybe it's not their math that's the problem, it's their jealousy and bitterness. Other than Jack Whittaker, I can't think of a single lottery winner who took home over $100 million who went broke, regardless of their spending habits. He expects Castro, the largest single lottery winner, to go broke because he bought 3 houses a few cars?

Wisconsin woman claims $156.2 million Powerball lottery jackpotReply
Red....... it would be nice to know if the winner was a QP number or not??? My reason being that for the last at least (5) years from the different state picks have looked like a 46-58-60-63-75 +0 or 48-51-55-56-74 +0 and them examples were the better looking ones....Thanks to the Lottery Post news we have some knowledge about this WON. Anyway we know it was a first grade teacher and not a nuclear new core math or science teacher person Also like all the member post that add to the lottery news.

Texas Lottery player wins fourth multi-million-dollar prizeReply
Unsolved Mystery: 4-time Texas lotto winner rich with money- Beyond Coincidence ??? Wonder if the Math PhD will start overcoming the odds in Las Vegas ??? EddessaKnight By PAUL J. WEBER, BISHOP, Texas The odds that Joan Ginther would hit four Texas Lottery jackpots for a combined nearly $21 million are astronomical. Mathematicians say the chances are as slim as 1 in 18 septillion that's 18 and 24 zeros. Just as unlikely? Getting to know one of the luckiest women in the worl

N.C. lottery turns record profits for stateReply
The NC Lottery is paying out more in prizes, which is why their sales are up and their return to education. You can ask the NC Lottery how much they have paid out in prizes and see for yourself. They are on a government fiscal year so if you look at how much they have paid in prizes the first three months of this year and compare to the same time last year you will see this--- Prizes paid July-Sept 2007 = $116 million and July-Sept 2008 = $178 million Obviously not everybody can win, but do t

$42M lottery winner plans to become a pecan farmerReply
Yes, that was the part I took offense to also. It has been my experience that most of the players, especially here at lp, are college-educated. I also don't like it when people say things like the lottery is for people who are bad at math. Really? If that were the case, every mathmetician in the country would have been a winner of a major jackpot by now. Truth is, some of the greatest minds this country has to offer has studied the lottery and can't figure it out. That's why I like the challenge
