With that much money involved, there is always fuckery. I never trusted it but definitely when I heard about Epstein, never bought another Powerball ticket
How come the Mega Millions winners always come from New Jersey? I never ever see some schlub from BFE America win the lottery. Why is that? CAUSE ITS A RIGGED GAME.
Quite a few from NJ but Cal has several also. I'd deduce that larger population areas are going to have a greater number of winners. This is assuming we can trust this list...
Everytime there is a big jackpot it's usually in California, New Jersey, or New York. It's ridiculous. I don't think it's going to specific people, I just think they make sure the money stays in blue states.
I have believed this for a long while now. I mean seriously look how many times someone in CA wins the billion dollar lotteries over any other state. This is a way of slightly funding CA through the tax payout as well.
Remember how Epstein "won the lottery" multiple times? yeah rigged.
They are not going to allow someone, who might be ultra-MAGA, or even someone here, to win 600 million on the lottery.
Can you imagine? you could park it in some investments and have 2 million a month to dole out to right wing causes. With that sort of cash, and the raw efficiency of the right wing, that kind of funding, in the right hands, could derail the left wing causes. They would never allow it.
If I ever dream about winning the lottery, it is for the above reason, I would make it my job to fund noble RW causes, and have a hoot doing it.
yes it makes little sense that there are more tickets sold than the odds...how is it that it will go weeks without a winner........the math doesnt work
Let me share my first hand story of Lottery Fraud. Years ago, a connected friend told me that when the lotteries switched from bouncing balls to pseudorandom number generator algorithms, it was a scam. That now some Winners were given the tickets and told to keep some and put the balance in an offshore investment firm and then never ask about the money again. I thought this was BS UNTIL, I had to help a "businessman" fight a Tax reassessment. He won the lottery and Revenue Canada did an audit on his spending. So I contacted the lotto company and got confirmation he won. That's when he told me that he was given the lotto ticket. He died last year, so I'm not betraying the confidentiality agreement between client.
Whatever firm they are instructed. It's not always the same. It is a form of money laundering because the people who gave him the ticket were known for a particular activity that involved lots of cash..
Just here to be the devil's advocate, but while I'm sure there is SOME shady business, not all lotteries are rigged. I know 2 people IRL who won one of those "win X amount per week/month for the rest of your life" lotteries. They're both white trash bums who immediately quit their minimum wage jobs and decided to "live out their dreams". One of them lives in a single wide and works as a "DJ" on the side on the weekend. You can't drive by his house without the noise pollution rattling your teeth. The other one ended up becoming a drug addict and put themselves in so much debt (thinking the money was never gonna stop coming) that they're even poorer now than when they started.
There's also verifiable claims of plenty of conservative people winning the big lotteries. For example, there's an infamous case of that guy in west virginia that won like a half a billion dollars or something, and was the dumbest person on the planet with it (kept a brief case with half a million dollars in his truck just cause he could), and ended up ruining his life because he was stupid.
On the opposite end of the spectrum, one of those billion dollar lotteries was won by some conservative guy in california who when asked about his goals, said it was his goal to become the first "lottery billionaire", since he didn't actually get a billion dollars, and was working with his financial advisors to maximize his investments. He was also part of some study that showed that people who won the lottery were more often conservative, or at least shifted to being conservative AFTER winning the lottery (which makes sense, if you have millions, you don't want the government taking it all from you).
This topic comes up every few months on here, and I'll say the same thing I always say. The "shady business" isn't in the grand prize, it's in the TENS TO HUNDREDS OF BILLIONS of small prizes that go unclaimed, and the states just get to keep. It's SUPPOSED to be used for education in most states, but it basically never is.
It's basically one giant "look here, not there" operation. Everyone pays attention to the big giant flashy number on billboards, because that's the one they want to win. No one cares or pays attention to the millions of 100-100K prizes that don't even make the news most of the time, especially if they're unclaimed.
remember those two big lotteries, mega and powerball, at election time in 2020, were both over a billion? remember what states those jackpots were claimed? anyone remember who the actual people were?
Proverbs 13:11 - Dishonest money dwindles away, but whoever gathers money little by little makes it grow.
1 Timothy 6:9 - Those who want to get rich fall into temptation and a trap and into many foolish and harmful desires that plunge people into ruin and destruction.
In Texas, the lottery was sold to the people as a means to fund education. Claiming schools would be funded with hundreds of millions of dollars. Needless to say, that ain't happened.
Since large payouts can be made without any normies questioning them "because anyone can get lucky and win", it would seem logical that lotteries have been rigged and used for large payments things services rendered, like hit jobs. Also, with all the money at their disposal, it's easy to simply pay off anyone who gets serious about filing a lawsuit against the lottery for any reason at all.
It's interesting to note the locations of the stores who sold the winning tickets, and wonder if the winner picked it as to not arouse any suspicions and make it again seem like it could happen to anyone.
I remember when McDonald's used to have the monopoly lottery, it was later discover that the million dollar winners were always hand picked.
There was a very good docu-series on it called "McMillions".
And they're relatives of the employees of McDonalds.
Once I read that Jeffrey Epstein won a big lottery - I was done.
I read that he won it TWICE.
With that much money involved, there is always fuckery. I never trusted it but definitely when I heard about Epstein, never bought another Powerball ticket
Twice? Must be conincidence!

The big winners are always in the northern states or California. Rigged.
Everytime there is a big jackpot it's usually in California, New Jersey, or New York. It's ridiculous. I don't think it's going to specific people, I just think they make sure the money stays in blue states.
The majority of winners are hand selected.
That’s like J-Los mom that one big on a slot machine in Atlantic City. Probably how the Mafia pays people off to keep them quiet.
I have believed this for a long while now. I mean seriously look how many times someone in CA wins the billion dollar lotteries over any other state. This is a way of slightly funding CA through the tax payout as well.
Yes. At least in Michigan. Any dollar amount added to education had an equal amount removed. So since the 70s zero monies have been added.
" At least in Michigan."
...Michigan modern math...

yes its money laundering, duh. Lottery monies were suppose to help fix roads, take a look the roads are like driving on the moon.

State lotteries are just another state tax against the poor, barely veiled

...one doesn't need a great deal of capital to make that happen...

I believe the families of the victims of Sandy Hook won the lottery. I think it was like 5 different persons in a row.
EDIT: I believe I'm wrong on this. Someone found out that the "Hero's List" from Sandy Hook has same last names as the lottery winners.
Here's the video on Catbox: https://files.catbox.moe/9yjybn.webm
Here's the video on YT where I found it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jICXcZePpRs
"I believe the families of the victims of Sandy Hook won the lottery"
...I know I have read that countless times also...
Yes.
remember those two big lotteries, mega and powerball, at election time in 2020, were both over a billion? remember what states those jackpots were claimed? anyone remember who the actual people were?
When I hear of people winning multiple million dollar pots... I have to say "yes. The lootery is rigged and money laundering."
Newtown residents and Sandy Hook parents win the Connecticut Lottery
"Newtown residents and Sandy Hook parents win the Connecticut Lottery"
...there are no coincidences...
Can only say two words, "well duh".
Of course. I have never win not even $5, the same with the scratch offs
" I have never win not even $5,"
...wags tail sadly....
Yes
" It appears there is no limit to how much criminality our society is willing to engage in."
...for a wee bit longer...
yes
I think the mega millions and powerball may be, the scratch offs I don’t think are. My aunt won 1 million on a scratch off about 8 years ago.
Absolutely.
"Absolutely."
...indeed...
...doggy winks...

Nothing sacred for the Demons
Yes, but seems like a good way to catch time travelers.
Yes of course.
All the money is supplied by the players.
Then after a time, a player wins some of it.
Yes
Yes
I believe so. I cannot remember when or where I read it but I did read that the lotteries were never fair. Especially if you got a quick pick.
The winning numbers were pre-picked and the winnings went to someone that was in on the scam.
I read that article over a year ago and hubby and I quit buying the Powerball that day.
"hubby and I quit buying the Powerball "
God bless you.
And I know HE does! 🙏
Probably
YES.
