there's a cool/depressing powerball simulator that made me never want to buy a ticket ever again. it's fun to see how much money you lose over 5 or 10 years by playing weekly.

That's inaccurate because they don't have a setting for pensioners with no kids, because that's like a guaranteed win every time in Powerball. Then the money goes right back where it came from.

After working a lotto machine, I can tell you most lottery players credit their luck or misfortune to a God or some other Illuminati figure. Anything except actual mathematics.

There is a scratch off vending machine at the place I get my groceries and every now and then, like once a month or so if I use cash I'll spend whatever change I get back usually a couple dollars but never more than 5. I'm up to like 3k in winnings. I think it's rigged.

Sounds a lot like Alabama, except even charity bingo got 86ed so more people can spend their hard-earned gambling dollars in casinos on Native American land and Mississippi casinos, as God intended.

I'm glad of it. If your are allowing gambling it should be consistently regulated.

Bingo is a huge scam.

It's Alabama. I wasn't aware they 86'ed it again. Last time I paid attention they:

1. Made bingo illegal
2. Close all the bingo halls
3. Passed a bill deciding bingo was legal but you had to have a new "special" license.
4. There were only n special licenses available.
5/ The first n applications in the stack belonged to organizations tied to the politicians who sponsored the new bill.
