Lottery gadfly not betting on getting top postReply
I thought GTECH just provided the tools and the states, along with their self-appointed higharchy, do the decision making. Do you blame GMC because a drunk runs over some one? Do you blame Olympic Pools because a child drowns? Why blame GTECH, or any other outfit, for something that the Lotteryy Comissioners and Directors pay them to do? That is punishing corporations for proficiency.How do you think the usamega and lottery post sites came about? Because Todd wished and they happened? He put blo

Nevada panel passes lottery proposalNews Story
Over the opposition of two major gaming corporations, an Assembly committee voted 8-5 Thursday to let voters decide whether to legalize a state lottery. All Democrats on the Assembly Constitutional Amendments Committee backed Assembly Joint Resolution 5, while all five Republicans opposed it. Passage of the resolution in the committee is the first step in a long process before Nevada would join 42 other states in having a state lottery. The measure needs approval by both houses of the Legi

Lottery becoming a central issue in Alabama governor's raceReply
Scratch the surface on this and go a little deeper. When the river boat casino expansion was happening there was a lot of opposition to it.......and some of that opposition was coming from entities that operated Bingo games and thus had the only action there was. i.e.they saw their revenue threatened. RE; this from the OP; Alabama is one of just six states without a lottery. There's also no casino gambling. Only one other state Utah lies contiguous to states with lotteries or casinos,

$188 million winning Mega Millions lottery ticket sold in CaliforniaReply
I've traveled to California and played mega in San Diego and Stockton. Also did some fantasy in Bakersfield and the bay area. Didn't hit anything but it was nice to play and see how much more efficient it is to play in California: you can pick and play your numbers at kiosks at many stores. If California has lots of winners: well because you can effortlessly choose your own numbers with the only discretion being how much you're willing to pay and just type into the kiosk. No handing over slip

British Columbia Lottery taking bets on US electionReply
Weird I thought we were talking about RL standing guard duty preventing ISIS from stealing your Trump bumper sticker. But yet you still think she is the best person to be president? A third of the Republicans are saying they won't vote for Trump and it looks like Trump won't even win in Utah. It's more like, why don't those people want Trump making opinions about Clinton being the best person irrelevant. Just an observation, but has anyone else noticed that Hillary hasn't been wearin

British Columbia Lottery taking bets on US electionReply
The first question, with McMullin winning Utah is it possible for Trump to keep Clinton from getting to 270? This unlikely scenario includes Trump winning Ohio, Florida, Nevada and Colorado but currently Clinton is leading in all four. But if that were to happen Clinton(264) and Trump(268) will both be slightly under 270. The problem with your scenario is the assumption the House will vote for someone that only received 0.3% of the popular vote. Do you really think the House will vote to dise

A state lottery could help Alabama get its financial house in orderNews Story
Fifty years ago, lotteries were illegal in every state, but they have proven so lucrative and politically irresistible that 44 states have since started selling tickets to the lottery. In 2013, state-run lotteries brought in $62 billion, which amounts to $257 in sales to every adult in the nation. Six stubborn holdouts remain. Alaska and Hawaii are isolated enough that they do not feel pressured by sales from their neighbors. Nevada and Mississippi have gambling lobbies that don't want a stat
