Lottery heartbreak: Florida man says he lost $500,000 ticketNews Story
Florida Lottery security officials have opened an investigation into the case of a 69-year-old Wellington man who lost a scratch-off ticket worth $500,000. But it's too early to tell if Louis Tolentino will get the money. They have begun an investigation, but there's nothing conclusive at this time, said Laurie Wright, spokeswoman for The Florida Lottery. Tolentino is behind on his mortgage. His maintenance payments are past due. Medical bills are mounting. His $500,000 scratch-off

Connecticut man sues friend for share of lottery prizeReply
I saved a copy of an article I had read a few years ago on what to do should you win a large amount of money playing the lottery. I think it sounds like pretty good advice, here's what it says..... Lottery Winners Strangely enough, winning millions in the lottery can be the worst thing that ever happened to you. The money can strain relationships with your spouse and relatives. It can turn your friends and neighbors into leeches. It can ruin your privacy. It can cause security problems, th

21 CombinationsReply
Hello lottoshlep Do you mean that Canadian Operators or authorities are incapable of providing so called Printing Services by themselves so they need GTECH to do it for them and you expect me to believe something as silly as this? Well, how much GTECH charges to do this for you guys? One of the tools which is required to rig the lottery is to collect the actual data (combinations covered by players) in advance for the calculation time is the Satellite Terminals One in so many retailers

Lawmakers steamed about lottery promotionNews Story
The Maine Lottery is getting strong, bipartisan criticism for its Funds For Fuel promotion as lawmakers say the lottery should not be using Mainers' fear of high fuel prices this winter to sell more lottery tickets. I think it is misleading, Sen. Debra Plowman, R-Hampden, a member of the Legislature's Legal and Veterans Affairs Committee that has oversight of the lottery, said this week. It almost sounds like some of the money will go to fuel assistance. It doesn't. It is just another way to

How to Prove Your Lottery IS Fixed?Reply
I am more inclined to suspect the instant lotteries of being manipulated as opposed to the lottery drawings. Still, even with the regular lottery drawings, you know there is a statistical mathemetician somewhere who is going to figure out some formulaic strategy to get the machine to perform in a certain way. But back to those instant scratch off lottery tickets. I think those are much more susceptible to human interference. Since at least one person at the top of the distribution chain know

Next person in LineReply
Hi justxploring, I used to think I'd be upset. But you know, I probably won't now-because I truly think, if (when) its YOUR time, it will be, nomatter what. The only time I may think otherwise is if I play the same numbers ALL the time, (which I do) and the one day i don't, those numbers hit the jackpot. I'm not sure how i'd react but I try look at it the same way I do the slots. You have to be there at the exact second (or a portion thereof) that this other person played. Let's say you di

Poll: Would you play this?Reply
Go back up and look at the Even and Odd patterns for 2^3 and you will see that there are 8 of them. I understand there are 8 even/odd patterns and 8 high/low too. But each pattern has 125 different straight combinations but that is not betting 8 numbers for a buck. Now if you substitute U for one number up and D for one number down you will see that you would be playing eight sets of numbers for a dollar and any or all numbers could be one up or one down from the numbers drawn and still
