Update: Players sue Delaware Lottery for $2M over disputed Keno ticketsNews Story
Two Delaware men are claiming they haven't seen a penny of the $2 million they say the state lottery owes them after a computer glitch spewed out multiple matching numbers. John Brookings Jr. and Richard Spence played Keno a bingo-style lottery game in which players can win based on how many numbers they match and how much they wager at a retailer in New Castle County last December, according to the lawsuit.

Woman denied $43 million jackpot, offered steak dinner insteadNews Story
It was a selfie she thought was worth nearly $43 million. Katrina Bookman hit the jackpot on a slot machine in late August at Resorts World Casino in Jamaica, Queens. She even took an excited self-portrait with the machine displaying her winnings: $42,949,672. It would have been the largest slot machine jackpot in US history. I can't even describe the feeling. It's like my whole body just got numb, Bookman said. But when she came back the next day to find out the exact size of her jack

Some folks are so distracted. This incident is not about a lottery ticket but... I was at a drive through teller with one car in front of me. That person did their transaction and took off. When I got to the machine, the car in front of me had left all their cash! In other words, the lady took her ATM card, and receipt but left the cash... When I pulled up and saw the money I got out of my car to flag her down but she kept going. I went back, did my transaction, pull into a parking

Please do the statistics on Indiana for the last 5 draws. Consistently 5%-7% under statiscal average for the number of winning tickets there should be vs. what there actually is. You say they can't be programmed for bias, but you are wrong. There hadn't been a million dollar PB winner in 2 years in Indiana since they switched out the terminals. The new algorithim the machine uses will pick a number 1-10 or even two numbers 1-10 a way higher threshold than what it should be. Humans are very good

Question Regarding The Odds of The Pennsylvania Millionaire RaffleReply
Overall odds are that there are 4 winners in 500,000 tickets so simple math would calculate to 1/125,000 If the 4 top prize tickets were sold in the first 4 tickets, that would seem to throw the odds out of whack and that's probably where the disagreement comes in at work.....they/you are thinking in terms of top prize winnings being sold right off the bat..then what happens to the odds?...it makes some sense thinking like you do and if that scenario happened, it would seem the odds

Keno players cash in on lottery glitch in DelawareNews Story
The luck has run out for some lottery winners in Delaware after state officials realized that a glitch meant the exact same winning numbers were drawn for six Keno games. Sam Patel, owner of the Convenient Store in Wilmington, Delaware, says last week's glitch with the Keno Lottery game had business booming. He didn't realize something was wrong until a customer hit it big. She was screaming again, 'Oh my God, oh my God. The same numbers are coming out again. Well, at that point she got m

What pisses you off the most...?Reply
Cashiers that mess your lottery tickets you wrote as an option... . A word inserted after mess will make a few agreeable options.. : with - I hate the cashiers who forget to clear the machine, print my tickets then can't come to a total due even after being told w/o laying them on the counter to count them. : up - I don't like a newbie cashier who isn't aware of what the games are and has to repeat 5 times what exactly it is you want all the while cautiously pressing

Post your scratch ticket resultsReply
I haven't played too much this week. I think 1 ticket Monday and then a few yesterday, with nothing to report. There is an autograph show at Valley Forge. Had to meet up with someone to trade some memorabilia. Figured I would hit the casino and get that out of my system. I seriously walked around and just didn't have the urge. Of course VF is alot smaller than Hollywood, so not much to get excited over. I went down with $230 and had to pay $10 to get in. $20 at a 25cent Wheel of Fortune. Pla

scratch card truthReply
First of all I'd like to state that none of this is meant in a negative or derogatory way to the OP, anyone who has already posted in this thread, or anyone that will after wards. There are two things being discussed here, and I feel it's important to separate them. The first being that lottery games are created with the notion that the game will be profitable to the state, and the second being how the winning tickets are being distributed. Lets start off with the idea
